installing bittorrent on knoppix

hey, im new here, and new to knoppix/linux for that matter also. i just made my first post a few days ago... so here i am again looking for some more help.

id like to be able to install bittorrent on knoppix, but im not sure on how to do this exactly. so, how can i do this?

You must read the Remastering FAQ, because that is what you have to do. Then just apt-get bittorrent and create a new CD and voilá, you got bittorrent. The outline of the steps is:
1. Copy the Knoppix CD to a HD partition
2. Use it to boot and get onto the internet
3. apt-get bittorrent
4. Create a new condensed Knoppix
5. Create a new iso image
6. Burn the iso image

Hugo.

--If you are installed to HD, just ' apt-get update; apt-get install bittorrent '.

--I found out which files to use for BT by doing ' dpkg -L bittorrent |less ' and looking for anything in *bin dirs. Here's a helpful script you can use, don't forget to chmod +x it: # BEGIN btor

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash

# This is for Squid
#export ftp_proxy=http://10.0.0.1:3128/
#export http_proxy=http://10.0.0.1:3128/

# BitTorrent download
time btdownloadcurses --url $* \
 --max_uploads 2 \
 --rerequest_interval 240 \
 --display_interval 3
##END

' btor ' takes exactly one argument, like so:
btor http://files.redvsblue.com/torrent/R...es.mov.torrent
