dvd read

[dolor]

I booted the demos of knos 32 and 64 on 2 computers this morning. Thank you! It was a very good experience.

The computer that only had 1 gig of ram seemed to access the dvd drive when I opened applications on the desktop. The computer with 8 gigs of ram didn't seem to access the dvd drive.

The knos32-demo had a different splash page than the knos64-demo. I encountered difficulty navigating to the forum with the browser. Is that due to my not cleaning up windows on my hard drives in my haste to be rid of it and those drives being read through the browser?

Greetings!

The demo is highly limited, and getting to be almost a year old now. It's primary purpose is to test for hardware compatibility and lacks a number of features in the full version. Since KNOS is designed to work solely in memory, we use as much of it as we can find to make KNOS perform quickly and the more you have available, the less we have to read from media and swap in and out of smaller amounts of memory. So no surprise on the beahvior between a little and a lot.

As for the navigation issues, there was an outage at Cogent's servers (where ours is) today as the result of some sort of cable cut which knocked out the internet to the Austin, TX area where our server is located. Chances are it'll behave a bit better now that the repairs were completed.
