Knoppix 5.0.1 problems
I created a Demo CD based on Knoppix 5.0.1. Durring this process I noticed two problems:
1) /dev/shm is not created with a mode of 1777.
So library calls as e.g. sem_open fail, if the user is not root.
In normal installations, /dev/shm has the mode 1777.
2) It is not possible to build as module using the kernel headers on the CD.
As only the include directory of the kernel sources is kept, no module build is possible.
The missing files are about 300 kB:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/arch/i386/Makefile
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/arch/i386/Makefile.cpu
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/Kbuild.include
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/gcc-version.sh
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/Makefile.build
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/Makefile.lib

/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/mod/modpost.h
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/mod/modpost.o
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/mod/sumversion.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.17/scripts/mod/sumversion.o
It would be nice, if these two problem could be addressed in the next release.
