This article was a 5-minute piece of whimsey I posted to the UMBC-LUG, the mailing list for a local Linux user's group. The intent was merely to point out one way in which Knoppix can be installed, and the fact that Knoppix "image" can make for a very good full-time linux for certain people in certain situations.
When Robin Miller (an old friend of mine) asked if he could use this as a basis for a Newsforge I said sure (I generally consider the posts I make to mailing lists to be in the public domain) and that I would be happy to re-work it into a proper "article for publication." I was told this was not necessary, and, quite frankly, I am a little annoyed that it dropped in without proper context.
At some point after I have actually played with this install a little bit more and come up with an apropriate scheme to customize the install without requiring the compressed filesystem to be remastered I'll submit a more formal article for publication on knoppix.net. In the meantime, I would be more than happy to answer (or try to answer, at least) any questions through email and I'd be more than willing to take suggestions from others that should be included in such a document.
