Knoppix; What's the gist of it.

I have a couple of Rescue Disks I was experimenting with and someone suggested that I use Knoppix instead. I have the newest version of it and it seems more like an Emergency O.S than anything else.

JABLICATOR(1)						      General Commands Manual						     JABLICATOR(1)

NAME

       jablicator - Share package collection choice across machines

SYNOPSIS

       jablicator [--root <path>]

DESCRIPTION

       jablicator  generates  an  "apt-get"-able  package.  The package itself is empty. However it has a dependency for every non-required Debian
       package that is on the machine. This program will create and populate two directories dists and pool in your  working  directory.  You  can
       then move them to a web accessible location.

       This utility is designed to reduce software distribution and maintenance costs by reducing redundant system administration.  For example, I
       have spent a lot of time finding and vetting image processing software from Debian's large package collection. With this utility, my  image
       processing colleague down the hall can easily benefit from the fruit of my labor.

       There are many replication techniques in Debian. This one has the advantage of using the apt and dpkg infrastructure. A disadvantage is the
       possibility of packages changing out from under you in the Debian distribution (especially in testing or unstable). That means that  jabli-
       cator output can grow stale over time if it is not regenerated.

SECURITY

       The  packages produced by this program contain a lot of information, including a list of the Debian packages installed on the machine and a
       listing of apt-get sources. Some system administrators consider sharing such information a security risk.

FILES

       /etc/apt/sources.list

OPTIONS

       --root <path>
	      Being able to pull in package selections from another install can be helpful, in the cases of a non-functional  system,  or  reading
	      from  a  hard  drive install under Knoppix. In other words, source from a root filesystem that is not mounted at the root. This is a
	      rare situation and most users should not use this option.

SEE ALSO

       dpkg(8) apt-get(8).
