                            KNOPPIX 3.1 Released
                                     =20
   Version 3.1 of KNOPPIX with KDE 3.0.4 and many other new features (see
   [23]CHANGELOG and [24]packages.txt) has been gone from internal tests
   to a public Betatest release, and is now available on the public
   [25]mirrors. The information on this webpage has been modified
   accordingly.

   New: Starting from Release 29-08-2002, KNOPPIX is capable of booting
   remotely via PXE from a server already running KNOPPIX. This is
   especially useful for clients that have no CD-rom drive, but a
   Linux-supported bootable network card.

                             What is KNOPPIX=AE?
                                     =20
   KNOPPIX is a bootable CD with a collection of [30]GNU/Linux software,
   automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards,
   sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. KNOPPIX can
   be used as a Linux demo, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and
   used as a platform for commercial software product demos. It is not
   necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly
   decompression, the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software
   installed on it.

                          How is KNOPPIX started?
                                     =20
   To start the CD, set up the BIOS of your computer to boot off the CD,
   put the CD in the drive, and power up the computer. If your computer
   doesn't support this option, you have to use a boot disk. You can
   create this disk from the image in KNOPPIX/boot.img on the CD.

       Is there a mailing list, a forum or a newsletter for KNOPPIX?
                                     =20
   New: A [142]web-based Knoppix-Forum is now present at
   [143]http://www.linuxtag.org/forum/.
  =20
   Interested beta testers can fill out [144]the web form to be included
   in the newsletter for beta testers. They can find out about new
   versions and planned features, or make suggestions for future
   versions. Developers and people interested in technical discussions
   can subscribe to the Knoppix developers' list at [145]debian-knoppix
   at linuxtag.org.
