Okay, we should  make debian packages, that's right.   But the principle
is  the same:  provide everything  to build  automatically Gnoppix  from
Woody.  And that « everything » must be made public.

BTW how is the booting process  customized?  How to boot from a ramdisk,
how to detect hardware, and so on?  IMHO that requires documentation, it
is not self-explaining.   Or maybe there are Knoppix docs  that we could
link to?
