i was wondering the same for a harddrive install...
How do I change this message during the bootup? Example: in KnoppixKDE eadz has added "KNOPPIXKDE" in big ANSI lettering, likewise in KNOPPIX, the word KNOPPIX is in multi-colors. Where do you get at these to modify them?
Thanks in advance guys!

mount the /KNOPPIX/boot.img file.
this is an msdos fs.
in it you will find a file named 'miniroot.gz'
decompress it (gzip -d miniroot.gz).
mount the decompressed file - this is an ext2 fs.
then look at the file /linuxrc
this is a bash script that's doing about everything that happens in Knoppix until X starts....
just a quick note - keep in mind that the boot.img file has to stay exactly the same size (1474560, IIRC). if you add some bytes, just remove some remarks, and vice versa - if you remove some bytes - add some padding......
Thanks a lot for the tip SillyFly! I'll get on that as soon as I get home. Can't wait to look into it. Even more interesting is looking to see if I can modify the login through here to boot to kdm rather than autologin by default as per my other post in this forum. Still haven't figured that one out.
