 A few extra items I would like help with ...
 * If I want to plug in a modified kernel (built for '686 and maybe with the 'no timer tick' patch), what do I have to do ? Presumably I need to build the kernel, make an 'initrd', and rebuild the boot directory; can you do me a 'howto' ?
-  I can work on a modified and or custom kernel & initrd howto, I've been meaning to complete the Knoppix 64 from debootstrap for some time.

-* I would like to make a modified 'linuxrc' and plug a statically-linked 'busybox' into the initrd (so I can poke around before the 'KNOPPIX' file is loaded). Again, can you do me a 'howto' ?
- I'd suggest learning bash scripting. The linuxrc script is commented very well.
- (see Adv. bash scripting howto: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ )
- If you have some programming experience, it can be fun to customize.
- I'd suggest using a virtual machine and try some things.
- I've had many "bad isos" from seeing what works and what does not.

-* During the setup, I got some dialog boxes popping up. Is it possible to turn them off (so that I could run a setup unattended, or as a batch job) ?
- Absolutely. But i'mre not entirely sure what dialog boxes you are referring to.
- [[User:SNIa|SNIa]] 21:51, 20 Feb 2007 (GMT)

-* Can I take an existing Knoppix remaster (I am thinking of the ones from http://www.ofset.org/ ), unpack it, bring it up to date with 'apt-get', re-pack it, and expect it to have a reasonable chance of working ? If not, what kinds of things am I likely to need to attend to ?
- a custom knoppix can be changed in many ways. apt-get may update some startup scripts.
- It's fine if you do this, but you may have to go back and ensure the startup process has not been modified.
- I'm working on a more customized howto, that should cover some of these startup scripts to watch for.

-Thanks very much for the cookbook.
-== What is it for ==
-Please could you add a description as to what this is for, what does it do.
- could you be specific? there are a lot of things on Knoppix, explaining each file, program and or script can take some time.

		+	Yes, this worked fine to set up a knoppix from scratch. I had to run it on a debian system first; then I got something that I could 'chroot' into under RedHat.
