I wish to use configure knoppix so that it automatically boots into folding ( http://folding.stanford.edu ). I also want to manage the computer remotely. I currently use realVNC on windoze based PC's. Could I set up the computer so I can telnet into it?

I figured that this is not too hard but my Linux knowledge is v-basic.

I guess I need to pass the 'cheatcodes' 2, Floppy config, noeject and noprompt as knoppix starts up. What do I need to edit to do this?

Then use a bootscript on a floppy to knoppix so I can telnet into it (anyone shed some light how I go about doing this?), wget the folding work folder for that PC from an FTP, chmod neccesary files and start folding.

Do I just append my script to the end of the knoppix.sh script? What is the difference in syntax between a boot script and just typing the commands in at the prompt?

Bonus question, is there something I can add to my script so my work folder is automatically backed up to my ftp every couple of hours?
