[debian-knoppix] Testing remastered KNOPPIX and changing username

[Chaz <chaz@starryskies.net>]

I am using a 500 MHz machine and the process of building the compressed
KNOPPIX image takes over 2 hours.  I thought I would try repartioning and
booting into the uncompressed system.  Any problems with that? At what
stage in the boot process does the KNOPPIX file decompress to the RAM
disk?


I would also like to be able to change the username in our remastered
version of Knoppix.  I tried changing USER=starryskies in
/KNOPPIX/etc/init.d/xsession but that made X unhappy and obviously it is
going to take more work or I am not aware of the right way to do it.  Any
suggestions?

If I edit Mr Knooper's scripts to include reading a config file for
parameters such as username and group, would they be merged into
the source he distributes?


Thanks,
Chaz
