(i'm on this) - make a knoppix-specific debian repository for packages - create a set of tasks, virtual packages or some other kind of context-oriented list so packages don't have to be necesarily installed by name 3 ] make scripts/hooks into the debootstrap process for installing parts of knoppix into a chroot (multiple people have given suggestions and scripts, this shouldn't be too difficult once "2" is done, we just need to some more calls to debootstrap) 4 ] get the translated metadistros scripts and merge work together :) - we can take your mastering tools and merge them with/replace whatever we have done - you will then have a knoppix base and/or hw autodetection for metadistros - klaus will have, if he likes what he sees, an über easy way to maintain his distribution does that sound about right, everyone? > I think that there are a lot of people currently moving around the same > ideas.
