Re: Installing software on a knoppix CD

[Dhaval Vasa]

Hi,

Customizing knoppix is fairly easy.  You should be familiar with few
commands like mkisofs, apt-get, etc.

Further information can be obtained from following url:

http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixRemasteringHowto

Alternatively, you may install knoppix on a harddisk and subsequently customize.

I hope this helps.

Dhaval
