659 <p>We have made some more design-decisions. Due to lack of time we changed our goal
660 from creating a distribution from scratch/source based to building a distribution
661 based on debian/knoppix. We don't want to reinvent the wheel

663 infrastructure and improve things we don't like that much.</p>
