I recently remastered a Knoppix Live CD for a client who was already running an older version of Knoppix Live. They use it for browsing the web and looking up orders on a web based app.

The great thing about a Live CD is that nobody can possibly crash the computer by changing settings, downloading programs, or accidentally getting infected with malware of some sort. If any of those things happen, simply turning the comptuer off and restarting it clears it all out since it boots and runs off of a CD.

Usually, remastering these CDs takes a lot of time and patience to learn the "ins and outs" of the particular release and of cloop file systems the Live CDs use. I found a way to automate the long, tedious parts of the process with Knoppix here: http://www.wp-schulz.de/knoppix/summary.html

The webpage has instructions that will enable you to put any programs you wish on a Knoppix installation, convert it to a Live CD you can stick in most any computer, and boot from.

In my case, I kept the default programs installed, installed a Xerox printer, set bookmarks in the web browser, and changed the browser homepage. The Xerox print driver was on my Live CD after the conversion process, but the broswer settings disappeared.

After some digging in the file system, I came across /home/knoppix/.mozilla/firefox Under there was another folder with a very long name of seemingly random numbers and characters which had prefs.js underneath it. When I opened prefs.js it had the homepage settings for the broswer, so I ended up copying everything from /home/knoppix/.mozilla/firefox over to the remaster environment (/opt/knx/remaster/home/knoppix/.mozilla/firefox if you're using the scripts). Once that was done, I rebuilt the .iso and the bookmarks/homepage were there on bootup!

I ran into an issue with ZoneMinder where it will not allow you to view live camera feeds in IE.

To solve, I installed the DIVX Web Player pack available at: http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/web-player

Once installed, restart IE and try it again. If the problem persists, try installing the latest version of Java at Java.com.
