Hi, all..
I am interesting to have bootdemo.iso of knoppix-kde have been created by eadz.
But the download location has been removed and knoppix-kde link has gone. (http://ktown.kde.org/~dirk/knoppixkde).

I want to remaster my knoppix based on this bootdemo.iso.
Where I should download the both iso? (bootdemo.iso and knoppix-kde.iso).

Thank you very much..
Regards.

Unless eadz himself replies to this, I think you are not going to get the bootdemo.iso or the knoppix-kde.iso. It has been about 2.5 years since then and technology has progressed. In most cases you are better off to learn and use current technology and not try to hack on older technology since it will be mostly unmaintained & undocumented. Current Knoppix and other livecd releases use the 2.6 series of the Linux kernel, in most cases 2.6.8 and up. Bootsplash code used 2.5 years ago most certainly relied on 2.4.x since 2.6.0 was released just prior to January 2004. Again this is not to say that it won't work, but you will have a more difficult time hacking on it. This email http://calvin.lplug.org/pipermail/lplug/2005-April/000653.html (only 4 months old) identifies gensplash as a successor to bootsplash.
