Create your kernel with cloopfs, usb, usbstorage, uhci, ehci etc as modules. Create your remastered distro. Pay attention to entries in fstab and wherver ther is reference to /dev/cdrom - replace it with /dev/sda1. Create an initrd with the above modules. Follow the earlier instructions on making the usb bootable. > the only problem I am stuck with is that I can't find a way to get > the only the above mentioned apps and create a custom distro that > will boot from my pen drive with ext3 file system.

So u are not exactly remastering knoppix. U will have to use gentoo to create a distro from source. Or Linux from scratch. Then tack on cloopfs. Then compress everything to a blob, add the bootloader and burn it to the usb. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
