Yes, since yesterday ;-) there is: It is still experimental and won't install X: Second: I won't take any warranty for any damage caused by this scripts. Use them with caution on your own risk. - Download all files in http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/debian/knoppify/ - Extract the templates in the same dir - Make a new partition say /dev/hda8 (at least 6 GB should do), mount it to say mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8 and debootstrap a basic debian to it (debootstrap sarge /mnt/hda8), run base-config - Change templates/ files to suit your needs (resolv.conf, fstab, sources.list) - Run ./knoppify.sh /mnt/hda8 - Download master.iso from http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/debian/sarge-live-base/master.iso - mount -o loop master.iso /mnt - mkdir /mnt/hda8/KNOPPIX.build/master - cp -a /mnt/* /mnt/hda8/KNOPPIX.build/master/ - umount /mnt Now chroot into /mnt/hda8 Do: /KNOPPIX.build/Knoppix-3.4.mkcompressed /KNOPPIX.build/master (this are in fact Klaus' scripts) The command will create /mnt/hda8/KNOPPIX.build/master.iso. To install X do: apt-get install x-window-system-core xsession-initscript-knoppix xsession-knoppix rxvt-beta locales twm useradd knoppix (remove passwords from /etc/shadow again, or leave it: your decision) Change /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession to include: set -x set +e (You could also install the knoppix specific profile files) as first commands to turn off "quit on error" and turn on debugging which you can see in /home/knoppix/.xsession-errors. I did this sucessfully this night. ;-) We (me and Danix.cz developers) hope that we can create modules and scripts for X as well to make setup of your own basic live CD even easier. Also of course there are still scripts missing to create the miniroot. cu Fabian PS: To unknoppify the system for an installation or similar, just do: cp -af /etc/inittab.debian /etc/inittab done.
