I am presently planning a single CD distribution containing the applications and goodies requiered for a regular engineering college student. I would like to keep in mind the syllabus and projects students do. Can some of you tell us what kind of applications are used/needed by students? We can build the list and sit on one sunday and make the distro. Debian GNU/Linux has special scripts to make custom CDs from their original master distribution. I am planning to use this. --Prof Nagarjuna G http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/search/college-distro/

I agree with kanti, why waste time in re-inventing the wheel?
Customization and other power things are good when you _are_ a power user, not testing waters. For students you say? Knoppix it is.
regards,
ah

I agree, now that we have a nice single CD that contains most of the stuff that a student needs, + and - a few applications, we can easily build a Knoppix, why build another distro. The install script of knoppix also works very well. what we need to know is what are the names of the programs that the users need which are not included in the standard Knoppix. Let us identify them.
I found out that KILE (an environment for LaTeX is not included). GNOME 2.2 is out in Knoppix 3.2.

Okay, but who will bell the cat? This could be an important 'cat' to spread Free Software in our colleges. FN
