I was hoping someone could answer these questions:

HISTORY:

I am trying to create a remastered (live cd) version of KNOPPIX with Citrix ICA Client.
I am following the instructions on these 2 main documents:
How I built a custom debian cd from knoppix (Sunil Thomas Thonikuzhiyil) and
Using and Customizing Knoppix (robert bernier).

The ICA client comes in tar.gz. (and RPM)

In both install documents you get your development version of Knoppix copied to a hd partition and then update it with apt-get update. From what I understand you never really log into the development session.

QUESTIONS:

What I need to know is how to get the citrix client installed on a Knoppix CD? Or the steps to follow to get software installed that are not in the format of deb packages?

A couple of other questions I have are:

I noticed when I install debian (not the knoppix install) that it runs something that checks for security patches. In addition to looking for updates (I assume the second part is get-apt update). What do I run to get the security updates?

Last question(s). I know there are packages of software for debian. How do I get a list of what is available and how do I find out what is installed on my current PC? dpkg something I would imagine.


Thanks
