Yes. I did mondoarchive on my Debian system desktop and restored it on
the laptop of my sister.

One more thing: he uses 9 levels of compression: I use 9 which is bzip2.
So that puts one partition of 5GB that is 1/3 used on one CD that is 85%
full.

Do I need to install any hardware detection software in step (2) so
that it can detect all the new hardware in another PC when I bootup
via CD?
Basically, it is to 'remaster' a minimal debian system into a
'Knoppix-like' CD.
Thanks !
