I'm going to take a crack at turning out yoper live CD. This distro uses i686 optimized rpms and apt-rpm. It also has a redhat style init.
So I'm going to be posting a whole lot of questions in this thread over the next few weeks. :)
Anyway, to wet my appetite-
I want all those handy knoppix packages for hardware detection, alsa, persistent home, installers, xsession, internet config gui script's, etc. Pretty much all the innovative live CD tech from knoppix will need to get converted. Are most of these things merely scripts available as .deb packages? It would be nice if all I had to do is run some perl one-liners to change instances of KNOPPIX to YOPER and knoppix to yoper, and /etc/rc#.d to /etc/rc.d/rc#.d, and then go back through with a lot of tinkering, and patch the yoper kernel......
For my own future sanity, I also plan to use isolinux and squashfs so that maintaining this beast will be relatively simple.
Any input in this endeavor will be most welcome. I'm sure I'll have more specific stuff to ask later. For now, I've got to get my remastering box situated and wait for the cable guy.
