This is the hottest technology in the Knoppix field.

The idea with translucency is that on bootup everything works as in standard koppix, but then you can change and delete files as you want and only the "difference" is saved by the "overlay filesystem".

"When all is set up correctly (see make init)
its about just calling "make iso" or "make rw" to master or
burn a complete remastered CD-RW... you may have a
preconfigured, adapted, autohardwareconfiguring standard Debian system within the "linuxroot" dir (it should also work with any other
distribution).
