| Customizing a Knoppix live CD |
Apr. 23, 2006
A newly published online article explains how to customize a bootable Knoppix Linux disk to be used as an emergency substitute in the event of a regular Linux or Windows meltdown.
In "Changing Knoppix To Fit Your Needs" at ExtremeTech, author Scott Granneman writes: "A bootable disk with Knoppix can be a lifesaver when your computer goes awry ... Knoppix comes bundled with a bucket of tools, and although 1.7GB of uncompressed space goes a long way, you might hit the problem of having to use software that Knoppix doesn't include by default.
"Additionally, you may make changes in configurations that you want to keep when you reboot, or store data between Knoppix sessions. Thankfully, there are a few different ways to solve this problem, some being easier to use and more successful than others," Granneman writes.
In a caveat to readers, Granneman notes: "Although most of these techniques can be done without using a terminal, it's assumed that you know the command-line basics of Linux and bash."
If you can utilize the command-line interface and bash, then this article could be very useful. Read it in its entirety here.
