Hi,

I'm willing to gie a try at Knoppix, but i'd like to know a few things first.
I've already read quite a few things about it, but i still have some doubts.
Here they are:

1. I know it is possible to create new users with their homes in a USB stick.
But what about their passwords ? They're supposed to bem in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow
Does things like ssh create ~/.ssh files in the stick ?

2. Is it possible to transfer the whole /etc to the stick and use this /etc by default ? I need to change quite a few /etc files mainly because of my adsl connection and there is also the issue of the users' passwords and etc...

3. Is it possible in a laptop to switch the Knoppix disc with, let's say, a audio CD and hear it ?

4. Is it possible with Knoppix to view "comercial/encrypted" DVDs ? If yes, how ?

Thank you in advance.

Warm regards,
Mário Gamito
