Yes .... I would love one :D I already added this page a few days ago http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Live_CD talking about Knoppix. All it would take is: 1.) take knoppix /etc/ 2.) Find all apps that knoppix has added to debian 3.) Create a knoppix style install for SUSE 4.) Add the apps knoppix has (hwsetup, RedHat hwdata mainly) 5.) Create cramfs image of above install and iso 6.) Test to see what scripts break 7.) fix scripts and go back to 5 Last time I did this with Yoper it took me 2 days full work to have everything working perfectly. Was too busy to consider it mainstream though, needed scripting to make usable. So if anyone would take Knoppix /etc/ and do this it and maintain it going forward. Now that would be a good experimental thing that people would love to use. > #-- mdc > > I have used both and Knoppix has some advantages: > 1) if required, you can install it on your Hard- drive.

But maybe this could be an option for the SUPER modified iso's ... hmmmm actually quite a good idea. Have a LiveCD and not an installCD ..hmmmmm In any case I am starting to be far too busy to do this all alone. Really need some relief in quite a few areas as I don't do this fulltime at work and have a normal consulting job to do.
