Plugscript has full IDE-RAID support for KNOPPIX 3.1 and 3.2

[holzhey]

Hello,

I want to announce the new version of the plugscript configuration system
for KNOPPIX

I hope you find it useful or can tell me your opinion, find bugs and ask
questions.

It is now an easy thing to tweak and extend KNOPPIX without
unpacking the whole KNOPPIX image and without programming.
- It is now ready for KNOPPIX 3.2
- now with menu generating modules for menu driven multiboot solutions
- now with lot of documentation
- The CD-recording tool.is now a wizard
- many improvements and bugfixes

These are the main features of the plugscript system:
------------------------------------------------------
- Download a suggested configuration (edition) or create your own configuration:
just by drag and drop in the filemanager you can move modules from
the 'unused' folder to an 'active' folder, and you are ready.
List of editions:
http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~holzhey/plugscript/doc/editions_overview.html
Download at:
http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~holzhey/plugscript/download

- The editions all include 'mmkcdrom' - one of the easier ways to create
tweaked KNOPPIX CD-ROMs.
- The packages also include 'makefloppy' to create a configuration floppy
(enter 'knoppix floppyconfig' at the bootprompt) and
- Using Knoppix_Persistent_home by Matthias Schwarze (included as a module)
you may save your home directory to a harddisk, network drive or any mountable
device as well on KNOPPIX 3.1 as on the new KNOPPIX 3.2 (which has a
similiar feature, but only for harddisks and some specific devices).
No boot prompt argument is required!
- The plugscript system contains the nearly complete support for IDE-RAID
controller (e.g from promise or highpoint) for KNOPPIX 3.1 and 3.2 *.
- It contains modules for comfortable login into your samba or novell
servers.
- It contains niche modules & tools to run multiple X servers simultaneously
without conflicts.
- Modular extensibility also means: if you want, you can write your own
modules. It's just simple shell scripting.

You are a real shell script wizard. Plugscript is great.

I am missing one feature though: I want to have a "conf" directory with the subfolders etc and home and their subfolders. All files of that "conf" directory and its subdirectories should overwrite the files (or symlinks) of the real /etc and /home at boot time.

It should be quite straightforward for a shell guru, but I can't get it to work. Basically, I need what configs.tbz does but *uncompressed* so that I easily can edit the config files.

Could write such a script or modify the existing knoppix.sh that floppyconfig generates in order to allow that? (The permissions of the copied files should be set to 777 in order to avoid permission problems, I guess.)
