greetings fellow Knoppix customizers.

I am starting this thread as I am starting a very ambitious project (well, for me) - to script and automate the process of re-packing an HD installed Knoppix to a live cd, and maybe even extend it to support making a live-cd out of any Debian system.
hopefully, this would put an end to all of those "how to remaster from an HD-installed Knoppix?" threads.

also, I'd like to use this thread to solve problems I may encounter, and maybe, when I'ts done, recieve feature-requests and such.
(LOL, so much for talking, but it's mostly in my head as of now)

wish me luck, and now - for the first question -
how do I generate a user with an empty password, like root & knoppix have?
