Would it be possible to change the default settings in your remaster by changing the settings that you want while booted on the cd then replace the setting file in /etc/skel with the one from your /home directory? say you did not want firefox to prompt to import bookmarks everytime that you open it on your remaster (and you did not know where the setting was that tells the program to prompt for bookmarks) could you open firefox while booted from the cd. Select import nothing when prompted. Then close Firefox, delete .Mozilla from /etc/skel in the remaster. Then copy .Mozilla from /home to /etc/skel in the remaster?

The lazy way to remaster in that way is to change the settings you want, and then run the saveconfig script and save those settings to a configs.tbz and knoppix.sh file somewhere. Then copy those two files to the KNOPPIX directory on the CD and knoppix.sh will be executed at each boot.
