OK, i will write:
   * some example configuration files,
   * knx-chroot,
   * text of howto get logged into knoppixsource from KDE konsole with different icon,
   * knx-pkgsizes,

and send them asap to the list (today/tomorrow).

what else do we need?
1) package of other tools, like  http://projects.openoffice.nl/downloads/compressloop/ 
2) tools for making knopix system base (extract from cd, iso, some package) 
   there should be some ready -- i haven't looked still,
   because we just can copy knoppix from /KNOPPIX on CDROM. 
3) script(s) preparing KNX_TARGET using our configuration files and changing language,
   copying customized files .... IS ANYONE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER?
 
4) script for making final iso from KNX_TARGET   (easy as abc)

it is realively easy, in 2 days we could be done.
I will start now, you can talk to me on #knoppix.

knoppix should be easy to remaster as much as use,
we can make it with help of some KNX-GURUS  ;-)
