Other Help Topics :: Can't remaster dsl 0.8.2



(I think I posted this somewhere the other day)

Here is what I use to remaster DSL 0.8.2
---
First:
mkisofs -R /mnt/hdb5/KNOPPIX | create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /mnt/hdb5/NewCD/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
---
Then, when that is finished, takes several minutes, CD to NewCD, and make the iso:
mkisofs -o RR_0.2.5_B009.iso -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -l -R /mnt/hdb5/NewCD
---
put these commands all on one line, in a root terminal.
In the making the iso one, that is a lower case "L" in "-l -R".
---
I use these repeatedly, as I make changes to the master, which as you
can see is in /mnt/hdb5.
I also have one in hdb6, and if I go to far, and have to start over, then
I copy the last best one into a partition with:
(mount /cdrom first), then:
cp -Rp /KNOPPIX /mnt/hdb6
That will take a short while, several minutes on my box.

Swapping back and forth with two partitions lets you copy the good stuff ofver to the new one that you are working on. Sometimes you might have a nice file somewhere that you want to use again. With me, it
usually ends up being /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu
