Is it possible to build Knoppix from source yourself and apply personal customisations?

Thanks for your reply Capricorny. That is how I understand it as well.
However, at install time, whether you choose to Remaster or not, it still creates KNOPPIX2 as a stacked compressed file...
Any feedback on this please?
Hi all,
Can someone please provide the remaster and recombine scripts made by Werner P. Schulz?
His website is now showing an online store and I could not access the links to the deb files...
When using flash-knoppix to install knoppix on USB, first it asks whether you would like to create an overlay file and then, afterwards, it asks if you want to remaster knoppix.
What is the...
I have used the remaster tool of Mr Schulz and created my version of KNOPPIX by removing and installing the software I wanted. I used a VM and it worked flawlessly. Thanks Mr Schulz.

Hi,
Can someone suggest a good tutorial how get bluetooth to work in Knoppix 7.6?
What software is best to use and is there any additional software which needs to be installed?

Hi,
It would be nice if there was a utility in Knoppix that when opened display all the installed applications in Knoppix including the big apps (Gnome. KDE etc) and all the other installed...

Thanks fredvej...
I agree with the last post that still Knoppix is way ahead of Debian Live as regards a live system.
That is why I want to use Knoppix as my base system.
I just need a list...
Hi,
I would like to perform the following remaster:
1. I want all the base system files and drivers available in knoppix (wireless, display, audio, bluetooth etc).
2. I would like to remove...
No luck so far guys with gedit... so I am using vim, my swiss army text editor ;)

I do not think I will risk removing nautilus...
Am using leafpad for the time being...
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I am aware of the other applications however I always used gedit, that's why I asked...
Will post a fix if I find one...
gedit does not load and when I run it from the terminal, I get the following:

@rajibando, perhaps you did not understand me well then. let me explain better...
1. I boot knoppix from my pendrive on every machine...
Basically I have followed the links and comments you both supplied and came up with the following solution:
1. Decompress minirt.gz
2. Open init with vim.
3. At the start of mountdata(), use...
Hi,
I managed to accomplish what I wanted.
Modified mountdata() to check for a new boot parameter which I called overlay and now when you type:
knoppix overlay=/dev/sda1
Init will mount...
@rajibando... I appreciate your help really but unfortunately as I told you, your solution is not valid in my case... I cannot just create partitions on others' PCs. Also I prefer to have a file...
Thanks for your explanation.
I think I got your point. However this does not solve my issue. I cannot just create partitions on other users' systems. All I need is to work on their PCs with...
how many partitions your clients' HDD generally have?
normally 1 partition
How many partitions can be free of any data?
no single partition is totally free of data since normally there is one...
Just sent a PM to the MOD to delete my post about the old thread... sorry about that
RE: grub... No most of them only have windows installed on their systems... therefore no grub
@rajibando, I revived the old thread since I thought it was still relevant and useful. Sorry about that.
Please allow, to explain better what I am looking for.
1. I have knoppix on my usb to...
@ superman ... thanks
That confirmed what I was thinking... it is quite disappointing though since if I remember correctly, Knoppix had that feature in earlier versions.
In my opinion, it was...
