Personally i think, both ideas are great! So it's on the cd but only
used when you cast the spell "ph" (and it really should not be any
longer) at the bootprompt. Nice! ;-)
It should not be used by default, because:
- The knoppix users would be forced to use KPH - or at least they have
to live with it. That's clearly not what i want!
- There might appear bugs or side effects because of KPH, thus degrading
knoppix' quality. You never know...
- At least everyone has to deal with a slightly longer boot time -
especially if they don't have a persistent home (because KPH will have
to search through every partition which is bound to fail)
For the name:
knoppix.sh certainly has to be renamed. The current name is only used to
exploit knoppix' "floppyconf" feature.
After all, it can only be Klaus' decision! For me either ways are ok,
but a short statement on this would be nice. I got quite some emails
about "when does it get integrated" (and even in the discussion boards)
and i don't really know what to answer. ;-)
Bye,
Matthias
