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

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