So here is more to the story.

I am trying to create a remastered version with Citrix Client. I am following the instructions on these 2 main documents:
How I built a custom debian cd from knoppix (Sunil Thomas Thonikuzhiyil) and Using and Customizing Knoppix (robert bernier).

In both cases you get your development version of Knoppix copied to a hd partition and then update it with apt-get update. From what I understand you never really log into the development session.

So, will the process you just described install the software into the development (no booted) OS?

Thanks again
