More important is the next argument. well if you're making your own custom knoppix cd, chances are it will have less on it than the knoppix iso image, which you would otherwise have to download... > 2) The SW might not work! I have tested modified versions, like kix, and c't and they all have minor problems. The Advantage of knoppix is the collection of software by Klaus (imho) AND the featback that he gets about what is running or not for this list. (please wrap your lines!) our goal is to integrate everything klaus has done into our project, such that unless you tell it not to, every cd you make will be a knoppix cd, with just different collections of software that you specify. > 3) I think making a script that builds knoppix from scratch would be a different project. not different from the one we're working on :) > I want to build a script, that reads a CD, start chroot bash to modify it, make the iso-image and burn it if you have a CD-Writer in addition to the cd knoppix is running from! well look back about a week in the archive, someone posted something that does just that. it sounds like a pretty cool script. sean
