[chicago-lisp] Thoughts on functional and syntax free languages

[Yacin Nadji]

It's pretty easy to alter a Knoppix filesystem, I actually did it for a 
research thing at my school. What you want to look for is Knoppix 
Remastering, (see: 
http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Knoppix_Remastering_Howto). I wrote some 
scripts to help me easily re-master multiple times, and there are 
apparently people working on making the process more automated as well.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
