[linrad] Knoppix 4.01
Just a quick note to indicate that the new Knoppix 4.01 DVD does not work
with Linrad with my hardware [Delta44 and AC97 OnBoard Sound]. Knowing
this may prevent someone from wasting a bit of time.
After installing svgalib and Linrad into Knoppix 4.01 I find that Linrad
runs and the spectrum and waterfalls appear to be 'OK', but no sound is
heard. [I've confirmed that the other flavors of Linux still work with
Linrad here] ;)
I have tried adjusting various mixer controls with no joy. Linux
recognizes the cards correctly and they appear appropriately labeled on
the various mixers included with Knoppix 4.01.
I was stymied in trying to remove the default sound system and install the
'real' version of OSS because of the fact that Knoppix insisted in
re-installing the old sound system before I could get OSS installed, thus
preventing the installation of OSS.
Even deleting the .ko files was fruitless because Knoppix put them back.
I am SURE that someone with more knowledge than I would have succeeded.
I suspect that if I took the time to do a hard drive install of Knoppix
4.01 I could succeed.
But as it is, Knoppix 4.01 out of the box [or, more properly, off the web]
is a non-starter without modification, as far as Linrad goes with the
Delta44 and AC97.
At this point it doesn't really matter, as a 3.2 GB download is not what
we are after. Once the 750 MB or less version is released, it will bear
looking into.
