Depending on the purpose of your script, it might server your purpose to use one of the many startup files that are natively writeable and can be easily be restore via the backup method..

/opt/bootlocal.sh - non X system scripts
.bash_profile - non X user scripts
.xinitrc - user X scripts

You can also include a knoppix.sh script in the KNOPPIX directory (needs only a rebuild of the ISO), which will run before the /etc/init.d/dsl-config script.

Here are some details about using Ultra ISO....

If you have windows - almost any version - UltraISO is easy. Download UltraISO from CNET. The free version of UISO will handle any ISO up to 300MB which is excellent for DSL.

To edit a DSL ISO image, get the image file onto a FAT 16 or FAT 32 [[pre-XP Windows drive formats.]] hard drive partition.

Then run UltraISO [[under Windows of course]] and tell UISO to "open" the ISO file. You will see all the components of files within the ISO as is if the ISO were just another folder. You edit this "folder" almost like any other [[but only with UISO]]. the you "save as ISO" your new edited image.

You can burn ISO images really easily using K3B under KNOPPIX Linux.

Anshik, one more point. mikshaw mentions the KNOPPIX.SH script and you mention init3.

I tried to learn a little about the KNOPPIX system and found it very arcane. In particular the most critical script - KNOPPIX.SH i believe [[ Correction: LINUXRC is script i looked at]] - is erased upon boot up for God knows what reason. I managed to get a copy of this script - forgot how; maybe found a copy on th Net - but editing the main script requires more than just opening the ISO image.
