I'd really like to see that presentation, but I have to work. Are you going
to make the presentation materials available on the PLUG site or your own
site?

Correct me if I am wrong, but tonight is an EASTSIDE MEETING!!!!!

Thats right folks, all you east siders can enjoy a tantilizing tale of
intrigue ... Custom Knoppix!!

Check the faq for time and location.

Summary
Knoppix is a Debian based Live-on-CD Linux distribution. Just pop it in
a CD drive, reboot, and you have a fully functional Linux demo, rescue
disk, backup server or Linux Workstation. Anyone can make a custom
Knoppix CD to suit their needs. All you need is at least 6GB of hardrive
space and about 1GB total RAM (physical + swap). A Knoppix disc can also
be "branded" to promote your LUG, company or product. A simple branding
would only modify the images and HTML on the original Knoppix disc.

This presentation will address the issues involved in making a Custom
Knoppix CD as well as bradning Knoppix. I will also release some helpful
scripts that will aid in these tasks. In fact, to date, I have scripts
that enable me to brand a Knoppix disc just by running three scripts on
a Knoppix ISO (assuming you have the images prepared).

Bio
Austin is a Faculty Research Associate in the Distributed Operating
Systems group at Arizona State University. He has published work on
802.11b network security and continues to work in the field among other
things. He graduated from ASU in 2000 with a BS in Physics where he
received an award for research in nuclear physics.

He has used Linux since 1995 (Linux Counter #29452) where he started off
with Slackware, moved to Redhat and now has largely switched to Debian
(via Knoppix), but is friend to all distributions, editors, progamming
languages ... and of course ladies ;).

Yes, all of the above is true and only slightly exaggerated.
