The old CD was already pretty complete. Anything missing from the new one, I would be happy to just apt-get. I'm thinking it could not be much that I'd need.
The previous poster brings up an interesting problem: FAT32's 4GB limitations. That's what I use. Hmm. A new wrinkle.

Hello,
Even inside the iso, there is 2 KNOPPIX loop back files joined together with the union file system. This due to a 2GB limit of the iso file system. One way to solve this could be to post these 2 files plus all the other boot files so each individual file is lower than 2gb and use mkisofs | (pipe into) cdrecord (using cygwin) to burn the dvd. Basically you create and burn the iso on the fly without having the temp big iso file on the disk. To replace the boot from the iso being on the hd (what we call the PMI, poor man install), we could probably do it quite easily (will need to modify the linuxrc if not already working) to boot from these two 2GB KNOPPIX & KNOPIX2 loop back files instead of the iso. Duable ...
Cheers,
Gilles
