@ Werner

The 'first-hard-drive' nomenclature is in the prompts
that come up during 'Knoppix-install-to-hd'. I'm really
finding this a tough slog, not knowing what next to
expect. I have the following suggestion for your Summary
page, that you have an opening paragraph entitled
Pre-requisites. I am coming to the conclusion that the
following at least must be anticipated (and I didn't):

1. A working VirtualBox or VMWare Player setup, and
some familiarity of working with such setup starting from
a working iso. I'm not at all sure Windows 7 qualifies
as an adequate host, either.

2. Previously prepared linux and linux-swap partitions of
some dimension or other of adequate size for the work
intended.

3. The usual expected familiarity with command line
operations and synaptics, with some notion of just what
changes might be interested in a re-mastering effort.
That is, what programs to add, which to remove. And
probably a good working familiarity with boot processes
is also necessary.

I'm sure this is old hat to you and others, but items one
and two are real speed bumps to those of us even fairly
well into Windows and Linux as working distributions, but
not versed in all the behind the scenes necessary for really
'involved' enterprises like re-mastering.

This lack of spelling out the prerequisites is a pervasive
negative characteristic of a lot of the interesting cutting
edge discussions on this forum, I might add. Poor-man's-
install comes to mind.
