One thing that was mentioned was that the filesystem was read only in
knoppix -- which would mean you'd have to figure out how to store your
data.
I have a feeling (but not sure how they do it), that with Knoppix
3.8+? they changed the filesystem layout a lot. I heard you could
make the volume appear as writable, with the differences stored in
RAM. If this is true -- that's really cool stuff. Make sure you use
a recent knoppix, and let me know how you go :-)
We once customised a Knoppix 3.7?, but we used a contractor (Patryk)
to do the work. He's been to MySQL UG Brisbane, so he might feel like
joining this thread :-)
