Can someone helpme with my problem? Thanks

I am following the remstering how-to reinstalling apt.

I follow the 5 steps listed. I chroot and mount proc outside of X and then type "startx". I get through the setup routine with the server and mouse settings and then I am kicked out to a command prompt.

The error I get is:

xinit: no such file or directory (errno 2): no program named "/root/.xinitrc" in path.

I am guessing that I have left something out but I am not sure what.

Sorry clivesay! I don't exactly understand what you mean. Usually you remaster from within x in a terminal. That is what I do. Please explain a little more explicit how you do it. I have just tried to remaster the new 0.7 version and it works great! That together with the new function mydsl (funny that is what I call my remaster isos; mydsl.iso) is perfect. Very good work!!!

Have fun everybody,

Thanks, meo

I guess my question then is can you run all of the remastering commands from a terminal inside X and then save the changes made to the current running X session?

I am asking this because a remaster I did of another distro required me to chroot outside of X and then startx to get into the X environment for remaster.

Thanks

Chris

As I understand it you can do just that. Run all the commands from the shell to make your remaster. Then just burn it and you're done!

Have fun,

I just want to drop a few lines from my new remaster of the 0.7 version of DSL. It is really marvellous what can be done to this distro and still fit on a business-card cd of 50 MB. I love the new mydsl function. The only things I put into my remasters are some nice themes for fluxbox and xmms. There is still room for a bunch of study projects that I have going on. It all still fits on a 50 MB cd. Isn\t it amazing. Finally I want to mention that usually a usb-zip drive comes up as sda4 and a usb-drive, for example a thumb-drive, comes up as sda1. An easy way to check this is to use the mount app and look what partitions it recognize. That\s all for now!

Have fun out there,
meo
