question to /home/knoppix and using Destop icons in kde
I 've remaster a knoppix cd with simulation software, using
the howto that i have found here in the forum. thanks ..
Now i want to add an icon on the Kde destop.
As far as i know, the icos for the user knoppix are located
in /home/knoppix/Desktop/xxxx.deskop
I've tried to copy the icon within /etc/profiles but this
doesnt really work.
Can you help me finding a more elegant way for this problem?
At each boot process the /home/knoppix directory is created
on the ramdisk. Where are the files located that are before
the are copied to the ramdisk and when does is happen during
the boot process?
Thanks for all answers!

All /home/knoppix data are kept in /etc/skel.
For me, I do the following to customise Knoppix:
1st I follow the remastring howto to add and delete packages.
Then, I compress the remastered knoppix whithout making an iso.
I boot into it and I install it on a free partition, let's call it hda6.
Then I boot into that patrition and customise it to my liking.
I reboot the system from a the original CD and copy /home/knoopix folder of the customised partition (hda6) to /etc/skel of the remastered knoppix. This will copy all my customisation to the remastered knoppix.
Now, I am ready to compress it, create an ISO and burn. Install it and enjoy.
For booting from the compressed file, look here:
http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Remaster...Cleanup_Script
However, you can create an iso and burn it on CD to use it to install the remastered system. But that is a waste of money because you going to trash it.
I hope I am clear.

I keep my desktop icons in /etc/skel/Desktop
owner knoppix, permissions 644
Linked to these are shell script commands put in
/usr/local/bin
owner root, permissions 755
To link Desktop icons to their shell scripts, under KDE right mouse-click on the icon in /etc/skel/Desktop and
select properties, then select the execute tab and in the box under Command: type
sudo /usr/local/bin/scriptname
to allow the user to execute the script by clicking the Desktop icon.
