my optimal goal would be to have memory stick or floppy so that I can boot to knoppix, have it automatically generate the keys, and it'd have to passwd the root too and load sshd on a specific port.. (and best of all worlds would have it automatically mounting a specific win32/ntfs partition too)...

I've struggled through enough to get this all to happen manually, but is there the means to have it boot as such on its own?
or even down to "knoppix home=floppy"?
would it just be a bash script of some sort?
