Rob,

Any idea how we will actually modify Knoppix? I have
not seen any docs on this. I assume they just use the
CD as a file system and have a bunch of applications
pre-installed onthat filesystem. It shouldnt
theoretically be too difficult - set up the filesystem
and configuration and then build the ISO.

We obviously want to keep the Knoppix config stuff in
there also; it's pretty damn good. I managed to get
pretty much everything working here will little or no
configuration. One exception; printer, there is a
driver but it wouldnbt work. I didnt spend too much
time investigating.

I think it will also be usefull for translating
everything to English. :D

Cheers,

  Jono
