Forum OpenACS Development: Re: article on knoppix customization at O'Rielly

the active site is http://www.knoppix.net .

as well, there is a page http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixCustomizations with numerous variant, knoppix based
releases ( morphix, http://morphix.sourceforge.net/modules/news/ which allows modular assembly of variants,  seems worth examination).

I built a debian system from the knoppix 3.3 release, and then apt-get. I haven't re-mastered a release yet.

Issues that I see, in regards to openacs on knoppix or morphix include:

- how to manage writable media (mentioned in previous discussion here) the O'Rielly example mentioned above creates a partition on the target system, so isn't entirely
standalone.

- demo database for an example (also mentioned)

- qmail (which I prefer) on a system without an external internet ip

- size of openacs tree on the disk, what to include

-prune list of knoppix standard apps like games to fit openacs into a knoppix image (they use a 700 mb image)

others?
