On my search through Freashmeat mailing list emails I found this.<br>
I Think this is like what I need but if any one has some more suggestions
please tell me. Some thing simple is what I need and I have a spare HD
that I can build a system on. Maybe if I install the Debian base system
on that and the other packages that I need I will be able to make and ISO
of that?<br>
Thanks<br>

<font size=2>GENDIST (the Linux Distribution Generator) allows you to
easily create your own special distribution. It creates a makefile-based
build system for your distribution, and helps you to automate the
following three tasks: maintaining your root filesystem, maintaining your
"CD filesystem" (in case you create a bootable CD), and
packaging everything on media.</font> <br><br>

I believe its possible to make customized knoppix CDs w/o excessive

Linux NTFS write support is not useable at this point. Go and yell at

v. unlikely if you made a linux CD, since you'd need to modify the
original disc tree then re-run mkisofs.<br><br>

You would have to, but it isn't hard.<br>
