yeah, I'm doing the remastering in gentoo

when the cd boots I'm happy with it just going to a terminal so I can start fluxbox with startx.

xnest was just so I could have my 'host' useable whilst configuring the knoppix source in a window. It was very cool when it worked - fluxbox in fluxbox.


getting a gui working environment also fails when trying to access with the actual terminals tty2 and so forth - to get it to pop up on the screen accessible via alt+f8. I will install to hard disc if I really have to but I far prefer this method. I also prefer working within the gui as with aptitude/apt-get I feel I may be removing some essential things while if I am actually in fluxbox (in fluxbox!) at the time of editing I feel more confident that things are going well.
