Re: Bootable Nmap virtual network CD

[David Pybus <david_pybus () yahoo co uk>]

knoppix-std hacked into something fancy would certainly be a neat plaything but
I agree with Fyodor that it should not be a priority. To add a little addional
interest it could be possible to chuck in a few other free operating systems,
i.e. enough to have an IP stacks and a couple of open ports but no more,
running under emulation. Naturally certain well known proprietary apps would be
out the window but there would be no reason why the Bochs emulator couldn't
included on the CD it is at http://bochs.sourceforge.net/. From memory
knoppix-std has a FAQ somewhere on how to modify the contents of the ISO and
then create a new ISO.
