Anybody here ever do a "successful" DSL Re-master??
It seems no matter what "how-to" I follow, when I recompress the image and then try to boot, everything goes fine-then it can't start X 'cause it can't find the .xinitrc or something?
This my 5th attempt-I have used both CD's and USB to copy DSL to a partition, but something never seems to get copied or it's copied to the wrong place.... S0, has anybody here ever done it successfully?? |
Actually, can I mount the "KNOPPIX" shell script/image like an ISO somehow and uncompress the image to a folder instead of running the live cd/usb?
Can I use the KNOPPIX remastering guide or does DSL contain different files (example- ".bash_profile")? |
OK-I found this so that I can remaster without using the livecd.
( http://r4vi.org/index.html/?q=node/87 ) Problem-I get to this part- Code:
mount -o loop tmp.iso image Code:
mount: you must specify the Code:
cd remaster So what do I do? |
Hi,
By chance are you utilizing the 'Remastering Guide'? Code:
sample from guide; |
Actually no
But I will now. All I need to do is add some wallpapers, themes, Rox, and change the getting-started.hmtl Thanks, I'll try that now... |
OH-can I do this from ubuntu-8.04?
I have cloop-utils but not cloop-src Do I really need it? Can I do this from Feather/Knoppix?? |
OK-now I'm in Feather and when I enter mount -o loop tmp.iso the term says-
mount can't find /mnt/hda6/remaster/tmp.iso in etc/fstab /etc/mtab What now? How would I add it? As what? The "tmp.iso" is there at /mnt/hda6/remaster/tmp.iso |

OK_yeah I did that
But as with the others-it doesn't seem to copy ALL the files-like ".bash_profile" Or if it does where is it? This should be easy-I don't understand? |
you know it is a hidden file, right?

YEP-I got ROX on the show hidden files thing....BUT-why doesn't it copy ALL the files when you copy the iso??
How do I make sure all the files are just like in the original image?? Really-right now I'm just trying to extract the DSL image and then recompress that same virgin DSL image, I'm not adding anything yet... I'm just trying to see if I can recompress the image and it'll boot and run regular DSL. This is from another remaster how to- Code:
cp -Rp image/* source/KNOPPIX Where am I going wrong? |
OK-it worked-But now I'm trying to copy the remaster folder to my Ubuntu8.04 Desktop and keep getting errors-unable to copy /dev/such and such..why?
What's the terminal way-"cp -a /mnt/sda6/remaster/* /home/bz/Desktop"?? |
This is simply not working-Apparently when you try to copy everything from the iso or CD the hidden files, etc are not transferred.
I just did it again for likt the 10th time-I can never get to the part where I can add aps etc 'cause when I try to either startx or get an internet connection it says there are alot of files missing-mostly the "." files. What is the proper way to do this?? Nobody here-not even the Guru's , have ever remastered DSL successfully?? |
OK-instead of de-compressing the image(KNOPPIX), I instead did the mydsl-remaster on the CD.
BIG question-is there a way to add files/folders to the KNOPPIX compressed image without de-compressing it first? Like mounting an ISO or is it possible?? |
