You might want to try debian from scratch and dfsbuild.

hi, i would like to know any info on building a knoppix like cd from zero.
iam doing a automatic cd maker,that given a profile(packages collections) and other configurations that the user inputs(root pass, nis, network ,etc..) makes a iso ready to use.
For this,the easier way was not to remaster knoppix but rather start from a minimal base (a base instalation +X +kdebase) and install the rest on top.
or use debootstrap plus the rest of the packages.
But i don't have any info on what Packages are MANDATORY from KNOPPIX deb repository to turn this base in a knoppix like (auto config hardware )
If anyone knows any webpage, or other recourse, that have any info on building knoppix like this ,please let me know.
thx

thx but i think i can do what is described on that page there with debootstrap and adding a kernel to it it should boot , the problem is that i dunno what packages from knoppix debian repository are mandatory , well i could go and install them all. thx anyway![]()
i guess you can just "apt-get"ing all knoppix package.
Then remove later when you think if any not needed.
