create a forked knoppix - what do you think about this ?

My take on some of the main features:
* ext4-support plus, eventually, other non-suppeorted fs in general use.
* Thorough purging of non-essentials, like space-consuming games. Users can install them themselves.
* Addition of a series of packages that are important for some users. My own standard examples: R and some Java packages.
* Maybe addition of some packages/libraries to facilitate the installation of some programs/extensions that are not included.
* Use of squashfs, at least as one version, keeping the cloop tools.
* Tools for setting up for GRUB-booting.
* Backup of persistent store + safe system transfer. (Copying mounted and constantly modified persistent store is not entirely safe, it seems.)
* Remastering tools.
* If possible, some tool for collecting package use statistics - to aid in inclusion/exclusion of packages.
Here we have a list of changes you suggested for a forked version of knoppix. I think it is a good list, as far as changes are concerned. What I am uncertain is whether it is a good idea to create such a fork. Perhaps we should invite some comments first.
