yep.  I'm guessing it would be about 52mb =o)
Apparently the script couldn't find the KNOPPIX and boot files
You might want to do a little research on what the script does so you can fix it.  Personally my only rebuilds have been manual, but it was very simple....Mount the ISO, copy the contents to a writeable directory, add mydsl apps and maybe a backup.tar.gz to the root of that directory, and then use mkisofs to rebuild the iso.  I can't say offhand what the commad is, but just about any thread in these forums concerning remastering will probably include it.
Am I correct in assuming that the .dsl files will end up in the same folder as the the KNOPPIX and isolinux folders when using the script? It looks as if the script only includes my .dsl files in the ISO.

I'll have another go at it tonight when I get home. This is fun stuff!

Yes, the mydsl packages would be in the same folder as the KNOPPIX and boot directories, so that when the CD is burned the packages will be in the root of the CD.  You can also create a directory called "optional" in that same spot, and put in mydsl apps that you don't want loaded automatically.  Instead they will be displayed in the fluxbox menu under "install optional packages" or something similar to that.
The assumption with mkmydsl is that the script has access to the livecd or to the Internet so that it can completely rebuild the iso with all files.
Minor update:

Things are going well for me, and I'm closing in fast on being able to replace my Win2K/iTunes box with a DSL/XMMS box instead.

I do have one minor issue: I can't seem to get my root password to follow over to my new DSL image when using mkmydsl.

I place my /etc/shadow file in the same folder as the .dsl extensions I need, but when booting up the new CD, the password that worked with the "old" setup, doesn't work with the new.

Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong??

Sincerely,
Thomas

ps. and one more thing: If I place my .xinitrc and bootlocal.sh files in the same folder as the .dsl extensions when using mkmydsl, will they be "copied" into the new ISO?
