Latest version: 2005 Beta2-r1 released December 2005
(If you are after the Kororaa Live CD, please click here.)

So, you would like to get your hands on Kororaa? No problem!

Mainstream Kororaa is available in two versions, Kororaa (which comes with KDE as the default desktop) and Gororaa (which comes with Gnome as the default desktop). There are also i686 and AMD64 versions of both.

Here they are:
KDE 3.5 x86 (Kororaa)
KDE 3.5 AMD64 (Kororaa64)
Gnome 2.12 x86 (Gororaa)
Gnome 2.12 AMD64 (Gororaa64)

Please Note:
Kororaa 2005-r1 does NOT come with AIGLX or Xgl pre-configured. If you want an installable AIGLX or Xgl system please use the Live CD linked above. You can however, follow this howto in the Wiki to get Xgl working on a Kororaa 2005 Beta2-r1 system. Thanks!

What you need
To install mainstream Kororaa or Gororaa you will need TWO CDs.

The first is the universal install CD that has both x86 and 64bit environments on it, and is used for BOTH Kororaa and Gororaa. This means no matter what you are installing, you need this one first.

The second is the package CD for the system you want to install (ie Kororaa x86 or Gororaa AMD64, etc).

NOTE: The "x86" versions can ONLY be installed on a system with a CPU that has SSE instruction support. This means Pentium 3 (Celeron needs Coppermine core) or later. The AMD64 versions can be installed on any AMD 64bit cpu, including AMD64, Sempron64, Turion and Opteron.

Also, please visit the documentation section before you begin your install. We recommend you download the installation manual too.
