Building a self-contained auto-configuring Linux system on an iso9660 filesystem

Abstract
Bootable CD-Roms with a small Linux rescue system in
business card size, or regular size live
demonstration CDs are becoming popular recently.
Also, some of the commercial Linux distributors as well
as non-profit Open Source groups are developing
self-running demos that are preconfigured for certain
hardware, or contain a configuration frontend. Knoppix
(Knopper's *nix) is an attempt to not only create a fully
featured rescue/demo system on a single CD, but also to
unburden the user from the task of hardware identification
and configuration of drivers, devices and X11 for his or
her specific hardware. The resulting product is supposed
to be a platform CD with a stable GNU/Linux base
system, that can be used to customize static installations
for a specific purpose.
