Remember knoppix.sh ? The old Wiki is full of talk of how this can be used to customise Knoppix start up by the back door. Until someone wrote in there that is didn't work with Knoppix 6.0.1.
Perhaps it didn't but it does work with Knoppix 6.4.3 and 6.4.4. The snag is that in the simpler world of Knoppix 6, knoppix.sh has to be in the same directory as KNOPPIX and knoppix-data.img. If you're running from CD or DVD, you can't have a knoppix.sh any more than you can have a knoppix-data.img.
Since the knoppix_home= cheat code allows you to put knoppix-data.img somewhere else so that you can have a persistent store even when running from CD or DVD, it seems only fair that you can put knoppix.sh there too and expect it to work. This is what the final patch implements.
In my small LiveUSB world, may I ignore these four new creations for the moment?
Yes is the short answer. The long answer is almost as complex as the instructions for filling in a tax return form.
If you don't want to use the cheat code, then don't apply the patches.
If you want to use the cheat code and have not already used the original patch in the post that started this thread, then use these patches and not the original.
If you have already applied the original patch and don't want to try squashed knoppix, then stay as you are.
If you applied the original patch you might still want to try the patch for knoppix.sh but that does not involve remastering.

BTW I can now remaster my USB install without fuss or additional real estate. I'll write up how when I've fewer distractions.
