remaster (yes, you do), and then for a directory, so
tell it the place where you mounted your empty partition. It'll
spend some time copying files, and then come back and ask if you want

This is the first script I run. It assumes that /mnt is the
location of my various scripts and data files. I put in a
resolv.conf (http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/knoppix/resolv.conf)
to get the network as I need it, and a fixed apt sources.list
(http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/knoppix/sources.list ). The KDE
skeleton files are hand-crafted to add Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox
to the menu, the background image is changed, and the X startup is changed
to display http://localhost/ on startup. Then we update the apt
cache, do a large set of removes
(see list at http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/knoppix/Remove)
and then adds
(see list at http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/knoppix/Add). Finally, we set a
password for MySQL.

These commands make sure MySQL and Tomcat are stopped (some of the local packages need to start services when they install), gets rid of unwanted orphan packages, makes some global definitions, and cleans up the menus
