I'm working on a script right now. Currently, my script is generic only on the install; saving the configuration requires some manual configuration. I'll work on that.

Saving the configuration can be broken down into two parts: system configuration (running squid, thttpd configuration, modified autoconf maps... etc...) and second, user preferences and configurations. User preferences are pretty easy; system configuration modifications requires manual updating. I'll work on it...

I just finished dloading the first ISO for mandrake linux 9.0, and was hoping to install it onto a 3.2gb drive that is setup as the secondary drive on the ide cable for the hard drive (my 20 gig with win xp home is the primary drive or Master).

Can this be done or will I have to repartition my 20 gig at the risk of losing stuff?

The simple answer is to archive ~knoppix/.kde and ~knoppix/.xmms somewhere - and unarchive them before you run X.

To do this the "hard way" - after booting Knoppix, do:

init 2

...then unarchive your ~knoppix/.kde and ~knoppix/.xmms (and whatever others might be useful) - then do:
-------------
This is one of the things I have been trying to do.

I have DL'd a skin to try, put it in /home/knoppix/tmp

Now where do I need to move it (specifically) so XMMS will use it?

Thanks.
