Final Divorce from Knoppix HDinstall
I started out with a hd install of Knoppix 3.3. This was excellent, simple to
install (though getting sound a ADSL pptp was tricky at first!) I used that
happily until I discovered apt-get updates and upgrades. The system has been
steadily upgraded to Sid, 2.6.30 custom kerenel, KDE 4.2.2, etc.
I have two lingering reminders of the original Knoppix: The initial bootup
calls is Knoppix 2.78--this text is in /sbin/init. And the welcome message
after a console login: Welcome to knoppix 3.3. I would not mind get rid of
these, possibly placing my own text (or Debian's).
Dpkg-divert is a nifty, mischevous and dangerous toy that plays all kinds of
magic and I have zillions of entries there, mostly obselete or non-existant
packages. I used it myself to protect nvidia's libglx.so and my custom
startkde for a while. I see no init.dpkg-dist file or the like, however.
How do I get the Debian "welcomes" and init? (and should this be done?--I have
most recent init-scripts and such)
