I remastered a knoppix cd to act as a windows rescue cd for our group of about 200 tech specialists. The cd is individualized by each tech. They visit a website, enter in their info (username, password, etc) and submit for an ISO image. The server then takes that info and incorporates it into the image including an expiration date. I have been able to do this fairly quickly via ZISOFS on a debian live-cd based off of Timos RescueCD. Recently the co. changed hardware platforms and now I must rebuild a new rescue cd incorporating the new hardware. I found Knoppix to handle this very easily and I have been able to setup a beta of this but I see that using CLOOP takes entirely too long.

Is there a writeup somewhere on how to setup a Knoppix remaster using zisofs? Using cloop for each and every tech will take too long for 3 servers to do.

thanx!
