[PD] Distro Doubt

[vincent rioux]

Hello Marc,
could you tell us why you choose Kanotix instead of Knoppix to create 
your custom liveCD/installCD?
i once tried with Knoppix and found that it was relatively easy if one 
follows:

but unfortunately did not find much time to go on.
i also tried Morphix but paradoxically found it slightly more difficult.

greetings,
vincent
