Other Help Topics :: HOWTO Remaster DSL From An Existing HD Install

The ls command only verifies that you passed a valid HD installation directory to the findfiles command. The recursive search is actually done by the find command.

how does one accomplish this cd remastering from an existing hd install with a 1.0.1 version of DSL? the directory structure of the cd looks quite different

I have not yet downloaded version 1.x of DSL, so I am unable to comment on that at this time.

BIG thanks to noclobber for this how to on the 1.1!!!

I have followed it closely but I seem to get a problem starting the xserver...it stops at startup (after getting so close...) with the error:
cp: cannot stat 'KNOPPIX/.bash_profile' : No such file or directory

then when i type 'startx' i get:
xauth: creating new authoring file //.Xauthority

and then:
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no program named "//.xinitrc" in PATH

any hints???

hi,

I just followed the very clear and great remastering steps from noclobber again to make sure i was doing everything right...i still get a xinit problem (although i ahve solved my PATH problem....

i get :
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2) : unable to connect to X server
xinit : No such process (errno 3) : Server error

it seems X isnt starting and I get left with a prompt which i cant sudo on...it replies (to sudo su):

Sorry, sudo must be setuid root.

I'm using DSL 1.1

so close......
