i will give you both r/w subversion access  in separate email so you can
take a look or even commit (wget can be used if you dont know any svn)

those are taking care of mounting /proc, /tmp (to run x apps), etc...

them all and do again ;)

i will send you url.
I think the crucial part is the format and place and variables in config file.
everything other could/should  be changed.

if there is anyone other interested, please tell me on #knoppix or mail me -- 
you will get r/w access.
