" I'm remastering knx 3.3, removing what I dont want & upgrade to KDE3.2. Maybe I should just start from knx 3.4...."

By all means do that. I started to use Morphix for this because I wanted to remove several packages at once and found in 3.3 Kpackage wouldn't work, and I had trouble installing Synaptic. In 3.4 Kpackage works fine. Only downside is that knx-hdinstall doesn't seem to be there.

For mine, after installing to the HD, I want to run it command line and launch the GUI with startx. That's another thing I found Knoppix was happier with than Morphix--but it wants to run KDE. Since the installer needs KDE, maybe I'll just let it.
