- Can this be done?
In theory, yes.
- Can I run Knoppix, instal what I want and set it up. Then take an "image" of this, and from this image make a bootable cd?
For something this simple you'd want Damn Small or a lighter variant.
- Can I (the guy who knows nothing about Linux) do this?
There's always a chance, you'll have to learn to write your own configs and scripts, but we never though Bush would get elected, either.


-Deadpan. Hope it helps.
