  • HotSpot Knoppix. a plug-n-play wireless hotspot. including captive portal, radius server, user authentication, wpa2, HostAP, WiFiAdmin, add/remove user, billing & accounting, time-based user, bandwidth-based user, protocol/port-based user, etc... just like the ready-to-use wsr3800 here: http://www.basewireless.net/products_indoor.php?product=hotspot
  • Would be great if Knoppix could be modified to save user data back to the CD-RW or DVD that it boots from, ala Puppy Linux (http://www.goosee.com/puppy/) (I know there's not much room on the CD but it would be cool if bookmarks, passwords, form information, etc. could be saved (to a USB key would be even better.)
  • NTFS Support!!!
    • i think it's already a lot distro support ntfs.
  • I think a knoppix live CD configured as a webcam monitor would be a very useful tool. Use motion detection to trigger snapshots and either archive output to HD, use ftp to transfer to another server or email off site. If anyone already knows a distro that will do this then please comment here or let me know via /c/o/n/s/u/l/t/./j/s/@gmail.com (remove /'s) Thanks.
    • if you dont mind you can use a hardware, like asus wl500g, which also powered by linux inside.
  • A basic knoppix with hlds (half-life dedicated server) pre-installed, and all configs pointed to the floppy drive (they'll only need to be read once anyway, you can swap configs easily without recompiling.
  • I would like to see a "safe internet client" customization, that allows to turn any PC with an internet connection into a public internet terminal, where different users can surf the internet, check email, chat IRC etc. without compromising the PCs harddisk. All personal data (emails, notes, downloads)should be storable on a USB Stick or Floppy (if Floppyspace is enough). A nice option would be the use of the usb stick/floppy as personal boot device with automatic logon for that particular user. It would be important to have the option to lock the cd-drive with a supervisor password, so nobody can boot the original OS from harddisk. (Wilhelm Koehler)
    • Wilhelm - have you tried Kannotix - I would say that that would meet your spec pretty closely.
    • Think you are asking too much re locking CD - you would be better off disabling the other OS or removing it
  • I'd like a Knoppix CD with NTFS support (ro is fine), NWFS support (if anyone can do it!), and Mondo/Mindi. This would make a seriously handy DR-generator. I'm in the process of generating this myself, but it's my first go at remastering Knoppix, I'm doing it on a *very* slow machine, and I suspect someone else will be able to do a much better job ;-).
