I have had good sucess with Underscore's remastering guide. However once I change the order of items on the menu or add a link to the task bar the changes are not saved when I burn the remaster. I can startx as user knoppix and the menu changes are still there.

Any Ideas?

Check /etc/skel/.kde/share/config/kickerr file. You must use absolute path - not relative path. Relative path ($HOME) is cleaned during cleaning process. Here's an example to show the difference:


right:
DesktopFile=/usr/share/applications/mozilla-firefox.desktop

wrong:
DesktopFile=$HOME/.kde/share/apps/kicker/mozilla-firefox.desktop

that worked for the kicker in the task bar. Thank You! But what about changes to the menu? How can I save those?

ok d00d. I found this while searching for stuff and couldn't figure it out myself.
I'm using 3.9

I started up knoppix, edited my menus.
then:
cp -Rp /home/knoppix/.config <path to remaster>/etc/skel/
chown -R root.root <path to remaster>/etc/skel/.config

then I want to:
<path to remaster>/etc/rc5.d/

and made a file called S99-Custom:
#!/bin/bash
cp -Rp /etc/skel/.config /home/knoppix/
chown -R knoppix.knoppix /home/knoppix/.config

rebuilt and it worked like a charm.
ymmv.
