Remastering modules is all fine and well, and you can do this just as you can with a compressed KNOPPIX image. However, laziness is seen as a virtue in Morphix-land: one command is all it should take to (re)build a module.
-A look at a module generator</p><p>MMaker is a tool under development at the moment, but is quite simple in nature. Using a so-called template, an xml file with all the information about the module you want to build, you can auto-build a Morphix module:</p><pre class="literallayout">mmaker mytemplate.xml mymodule.mod</pre><p>What MMaker does when you execute this command is debootstrap a new debian filesystem using the details in the template, set up the necessary mainmodule directories and installs all packages specified in the template, while using apt to handle any dependancies. Afterwards it compresses the whole bunch into a fresh new module, ready to be added to a Morphix Live CD in the usual manner.</p><p>As you might have guessed, the template is the key to all of this.

+build, but really useful to change the whole impression of
+the cd.</p><p>We make the mini-module using one of the morphix-tools
+make-mini, along with isomorph to add the MiniModule to the
