| The font is very hard to read in the English version, and the viewer provided with the live CD fails when I try to zoom. |

At the moment I am still using Kanotix 2005-02 HD-Install because of problems with 2005-04. I have no problem reading it in KPDF. But why don't you make a print out? Thats why we have a pdf with a serifs font.
If someone wants to create a good-looking html-site, feel free to do it. I can send you the OO-file.
Simply exporting to html from OO looks rather ugly, the german version was made with lyx.(Its easier to export from latex to html by preserving layout/formatting). OO was used to make it easier for contributors to edit and translate. Unfortunately its not possible to upload the OO-file here and the wiki download page is broken |

WoW .. Downloaded this and gave it a fast read. Well written and a lot of information that doesn't always get put in the same place -- this WILL get printed out as a valuable reference source.
Your work is highly appreciated. Thanks very much!

Chapter 4.5.2. Firewalls
Kanotix 2005-4 comes along with "firestarter" if I remember correctly. This should be added in order not confuse new users. This makes additional firewalls abundant.
---------------
Chapter 4.5.3 Antivirus tools
There is currently no KlamAV Debian package. So the information is useless (applies to some other apps too).
Adding a KDE f-prot enhancement as information might be useful for users who don't want KlamAV or something else. Here is the link:
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17808
Anyway, the information how to update f-prot should in this case also be added.
Code:
su
passwd
update-f-prot
exit
-------------
Chapter 5.3 Installation of a new Kanotix version while keeping the
system configuration: Update-Installation
"YYYYMMDDHHMM.txt which can be used to reinstall all packa
the update installation:
aptget install $(</root/oldpackagesYYYYMMDDHHMM.txt)
"
Here should an example be added since several uses don't understand the syntax. |

Well, its very difficult to keep track of packages, which are no more or not yet available. But I will add avscan (in the german version, maybe Vasco will add it in the english version too).

Thank you for the link. I didn't know that such a tool exists.
I think to update virus signature files, you need to execute /usr/local/f-prot/tools/check-updates.pl?

Should be adopted from german version. |

tobi, vasco,
when logged in as EN-user klicking on manual will lead to the german version.
that is very inconvenient for non DE users. could you please correct that.
i had a few people coming back to me saying they couldnt read it, so i just tried twice myself, amd its DE.

devil,
i still don't know the reason for this problems. The log file tells me that there are a lot of non-DE visits. Anyway, i have changed somehing. So please try again, it should work now. If not, see you in the german manual discussion thread
BTW: The direct links to the manual versions are posted in Tobi's sig. In the next versions, there will be a direct link to the other language.

Because of maintenance on the Server this friday between 6 am and 8 pm, the manual will not be accessible for 60 - 120 minutes. Don't panic

| Hi Tobi. Firestarter is found here (in 2005-04) in the Kmenu under Debian/apps/net. |

nice work; something which is missing IMHO is something on grub options (you often have to fix menu.lst after an installation) and something that I was looking for: how to backup the entire linux installation.
A question: how can you save a list of installed packages? Via KPAckage? |

Hi,
I just finished the first release of a french version of kanotix manual ;
I slightly modified the structure of the original german files : the index is now index.html and not kanotix_manual.html anymore ;
They are more explanations about IDE harddisks connexion than in the version I put online the 8th of august.
Above all I gave a try to the separation between a print and a screen css.
Critics , corrections, aso are still very welcome.
The online version at :
http://clampin.free.fr/kanotix/manual/
The "archive" versions are available at :
http://clampin.free.fr/spip/article.php?id_article=6
..to be continued... |

Thanks for your ongoing support and work for Kanotix!
I have adapted to link in our main web site navigation to point directly there if French is selected.
Greetings,
Chris |

I am thinking about to install kanotix instead kubuntu... so, I am searching things about kanotix, reviews, documentation, etc...
This manual will be/is included in the kanotix cd?
(btw, do you think that is better to install/use a kanotix instead kubuntu?) |

well the last previews didn't contain the manual as kano is always fighting against missing place on the CD.
Anyway it can be easily found, so I dont think it will have a chance to go into the CD.

if one thought the other way, why do you think he would remain here? |
