Re: Portable Debian?

Hi all,
I need to create a portable Debian (or derivate) system.

My needs are:

    * install the system on a bootable USB HD
    * install a system that autoconfigure on different hardware (I don't
      know in advance which video card or lan card I'll find when I'll
      use the system)
    * the system is mostly used for openoffice presentations and I
      prefer kde

I have to go around doing presentations and FOSS demonstrations.

Anyone have experience about this?
There is any Debian derivate that can be used? (Knoppix, Kanotix...)?
There is sonething like Mandriva Flash
(http://www.mandriva.com/en/linux/2007/node_3481)  besd on debian?

Any help will be greately appreciated.

Hi Mirto,

Of course mondo does what you want to a certain extent:
apt-get install mondo.
You end up with a CD/DVD of the partition that you backed up and that can be installed on "any" machine. 
If you start out with a flexible setup then the CD/DVD will be flexible too.
