I have just written a new paching program.
Once a patch set is made, distribute the patch set.

The user should then
Copy the patch to hard drive
boot with existing version of Knoppix
mount hard drive r/w
unpack the tar file
run ./applypatch

This will create an .iso of the version you are patching from.

The program is available from
ftp://ftp.nickhill.co.uk/pub/knoppixpatch.tgz

I have also put a copy of a patch file on the FTP temporarily, from version 6/6/03 patching to version 26/7/03. I do not have hosting bandwidth so will be removed soon.
