Re: X Config and Knoppix

Secondly, Knoppix is a branch of Debian right? X config is a nightmare
with Debian (I have spent many hours swearing at it) but Knoppix just
gets on with it and you can tweak later. Is it possible to do this on
an established Debian installation? If not why not?
Knoppix is my preferred way of configuring X, certainly for Woody.
It should not be hard for you to remaster Knoppix so as to use it to
install Linux to your computers: boot Knoppix, unload an install image
onto the HDD, copy the knoppix-generated config files.
You might also take a look at www.progeny.com's Progeny Componentized Linux.
It uses Red Hat's installer, Anaconda, to install what is basically a
customised Debian system. It's intended for developers who can take what
Progeny offers in order to create their own customised distribution.
You can choose between interactive (CUI or GUI)or hands-off installs
from network, disk, CD etc.
