Knoppix from scratch from the point of view of a total n00b

Okay. I am a TOTAL n00b. I want to make a copy of Knoppix, and I want to add some software to it. How would I do it?

I'm sorry I am a huge n00b

There are a few HOWTOs on the net.

hey thanx!

okay, if i were to add some programs to the .iso, would I just load it into Knoppix when it is on my HDD, and then .iso the whole thing?

A very quick overview, when booted up to Knoppix you would make your hard drive writeable, mount it and copy your /KNOPPIX directory there. Then you would chroot into the copied KNOPPIX directory, mount proc, and make your changes there (edits, add and remove programs). Once done, you would umount proc, then make a compressed file system out of it. After that, you would make a bootable ISO out of it and write it back to a CD.
