[TriLUG] Hamfest thanks

[Aaron S. Joyner]

Okay, the state of remastering knoppix distributions has gotten an awful 
lot easier since last I looked.  :)  For just changing the default 
language and bootup options, there are even *gasp* widows wrappers for 
doing it now!  :)  I have an ISO that ought to do the trick, I'll give 
it a test when I get home from work tonight and see just how German the 
internals really are.

Those interested in slightly customizing knoppix should check out this 
URL for knoppix-customize:

More pointers can be found there on how to do the entire remastering 
process as well.
