Other Help Topics :: Can't remaster DSL

Forgive me for my English. Please, prompt as it is possible to keep completely adjustments of system. That is to adjust Ftp-server, monkey-webserver, and other services. Has for example tried to make remastering of clauses: HOWTO Remaster DSL From An Existing Hard Drive Installation, HOWTO Remaster DSL From An Existing HD Install, Remastering DSL, ReMastering HOWTO for DSL - and any of these descriptions has not helped, namely my order of actions:
1. Booting from CD-Live with parameter: dsl toram
2. Setting xvesa resolution, static IP adress, starting daemons webserver, ftpserver, and other.
#sudo su
#mount-rw/dev/hda1/mnt/hda1
#mount
/dev/hda1 on/mnt/hda1 type vfat (rw)
#mkdir/mnt/hda1/dsl
#mkdir-p/mnt/hda1/dsl/master/KNOPPIX #mkdir-p/mnt/hda1/dsl/source/KNOPPIX *cp-Rp/KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hda1/dsl/source/KNOPPIX
Gives out many mistakes, for example: cp: cannot create special file '/mnt/hda1/dsl/source/KNOPPIX/dev/ida/c1d6p1 ': Opperation not permitted

That I do not so??? Rescue!!!

P.S.
It will be a server a redirector log files + ftp download

You can not use a fat partition to remasters.
fat does not handle permisson info of the "linux" files.

however..
if you create a big file on the fat partition, format the file, and then mount it as a loopfilesystem. you can copy to this. and use the loopfs to remaster.

Code Sample

dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1M count=300

create a 300Mb file

Code Sample

mke2fs disk.img

formats the disk.img file for use as a loopfs.

Code Sample

mount disk.img /mnt/test -o loop

mounts the file as a loopfs on /mnt/test. then you can continue remastering from /mnt/test instead of /mnt/hda1.

Hmm... I've run into the same issue basically.
With all this talk about making a loop file on the HD, and formatting that to use it with linux, will it leave the rest of the files on the system alone, or will I need to worry about something else being deleted (that is, more worried than something being deleted under Window$)?

Oh, I should add I'm sorta familiar with loop files since I've run the floppy distro Basic Linux on a much older setup... just don't know that much about their full workings and such.
