Hello, this is my first time on the forums so greetings everyone!

I'm looking to create an installation CD that allows the user to configure static IP/LAN options during install and then leaves the computer with certain services running (with the OS installed to HD, not running Live CD fashion). The largest range of hardware compatibility is desirable so Knoppix seems a good choice. However, after installation of the CD, I would like the system to run without a GUI and indeed without much of Knoppix's standard programs. So I have two things to learn 1) remastering Knoppix and 2) How to present a screen to the user of network options during, or directly after installation.

(1) I will need to read about but I wonder if anyone knows whether (2) is possible before I perform lengthy research. It would also be great to hear options on whether Knoppix is the right thing to be using.

Essentially I would like Apache, PHP, FTP and SSH to be running after installation.

Thanks in advance for any comments.
