Software Freedom Day custom Knoppix released

**Henrik** · 08-11-2004, 11:24 AM

We've remastered Knoppix for Software Freedom Day by simplifying the menu structure a bit and adding our own graphics. See details here and here, screenshots here and grab the ISO by Bittorrent here.

Let us know what you think

looks very nice.
One question:
How did you change the K->menu structure?

You'd have to ask Jason King who did the actual remastering, but I believe he simply used the KDE menu editing tool and then copied the files from '~/.config/menus/' to where ever settings for the default user are stored.

I would be very interested in knowing how he did it because I find knoppix default menu structure a bit off a chaos.
So I would like to modify it on my (installed) knoppix.
But I don't know how to contact him. Can you ask him for me?
And one ohter question would be what happens if you install a new app?

Thanks again

Well, on your own install it's easy. Just use the K-menu editor, save the changes and use myconf=scan at boot to load the changes each time. Email me at henrik (AT) theopencd.org to get Jasons's email address. (I don't mind posting my own in a forum, but it's bad form to post other people's
