Morphix 0.3-4 erschienen

[becker]

Die auf Knoppix basierende Distribution Morphix ist in Version 0.3-4 erschienen. Morphix unterstützt neben dem direkten Booten von CD die Installation auf Festplatte.

Auf der CD findet sich neben GNOME 2.2 und KDE 3.1 auch IceWM.

Weitere Informationen und das ISO Image stehen auf den Sourceforge Seiten zur Verfügung.

hmmm, man kann Knoppix doch auch auf Festplatte kopieren!

Gibt es denn andere grosse Veränderungen?

Von der Morphix Homepage habe ich folgende Informationen zu Deiner Frage gefunden:

03-04-2003 (version 0.3-4 base, all mainmodules)

base:
- integrated translucency, can be de-activated with
"blocktrans=yes" bootoption. Fixed a few settings, on-the-fly
dpkg might actually work, needs some more testing (dpkg-db
problems). trans minimod will no longer be used.
- integrated openGL nvidia driver, can be activated with
xmodule=nvidia (maybe nv too?). Still has the openGL-rootonly
problem, but the driver is installed to harddisk. Might need to
run /morphix/makedevices.sh after installing, however. nvidia
minimod will no longer be used.
- integrated forceusb. This might be redundant however, as i've
integrated a few of the lkm that seem to cause the problems.
Use "forceusb=yes" to activate it.
- added a new kernel, based on the knoppix (2.4.20-xfs) kernel
but with extra lkm compiled in. Config, include/ and patches
are available on the mirror.
- fixed a number of symlink problems, occuring after installing.
- added a few extra resolutions for X. Seems to work without any
'virtual' resolution on my testpc's, however this might cause
problems. Feedback and tips are greatly appreciated, as always.

all mainmod's:
- installer has been updated, added a useful help, fixed the RAID
and scsi detection problems, however scsi hasn't fully been
tested. Added a fix for lilo, and should show a combobox when
there are multiple harddisks (this too has not been tested, anyone
want to sponsor me? :) Light/Game installs redirect output to
/tmp/installer.log, not yet done for
Heavy/KDE. Paperclip-replacement has been included ;)
- added a morphix-menu for all 4 of the current
mainmod's. HeavyGUI however has it in a drawer, updating the menus
seems to be too hard for mere mortals. Resolutionchanger does work
with GNOME. Added wlcardconfig, savesettings and mkpersistanthome
from KNOPPIX, but the latter havn't been tested a lot. Added a
networkconfiguration tool, fixes a few bugs in netcardconf and
detects the current settings and preforms selected interface
updates. Added a rootconsole for kde/light
- added a new default background, trying to get it to replace all
other wallpapers in M but this might not be the case everywhere.
- updated to sid, snapshot 27-03-2003

light:
- added balsa instead of sylpheed.

heavy:
- added grip, samba, cups
- added a new taskbar, you'll either love it or hate it.

kde:
- added kmail, knode, kppp. Updated to KDE 3.1.1 (?).
- changed default iconset, actually looks purty now.
- added a cups-(re)start item in morphix menu

Selber habe ich Morphix (noch) nicht ausprobiert. Hört sich aber interessesant an!
