Hi, I love Knoppix, of all the Linux versions I have tried, it has the best harware detection and configuration options.

However, the big problem is that this does not translate during a HDD install to a great HD OS. Almost all of the best configutation features are lost, together with a lot of hardware detection and networking options.

I wondered since it is possible to save a Knoppix configuration via saveconfig, if this could be used to build a meta install script that would mirror exactly all of the user set up and configuration options that are selected prior to performing a HDD install. It would be nice too if the users Knoppix home directory (the one you format to hold your persistant Knoppix partiion) could be expanded, so that no user files are lost either.

Bsically I want my Knoppix HDD install to look and feel exactly like the Knoppix cd does. (with the ability to auto mount all my drives just as Knoppix does). The graphical CD can then be used as a very cool install and configuration utility, allowing you to set Knoppix up just the way you like it, or change various things yopu don't like, before deciding to install it.

That really would make Knoppix the coolest Linux OS there is....
