Hi all!

I have an image file of the Backtrack 3 distro on my hard drive:
Although, it doesn't ship with an application I use in a daily base (say 'custom_app'). Is it possible to unmount (extract) the original image like this:

then, to add my 'custom_app' inside /mnt/iso/backtrack_ummounted/bin and wrap it into a backtrack-custom.iso again??

What would be the command for that, and would my PC boot up correctly?
It's time consuming to copy this app every time from my flash drive. :/

Thanks in advance!

yea
but, you gotta decompress the filesystem
does bt3 use squashfs, cloop or what?

is bt3 based off slax or which?

As of version 3 it changed from knoppix to slax as the parent distribution.

Right, I kinda understood what u said
Let me see if I'm getting it.

I ran the command above:

The result: only 2 folders extracted called /mnt/iso/BT3 and /iso/mnt/boot.
Particularly, inside /mnt/iso/BT3/base there are some .lzm files named bin.lzm, changes.lzm, usr.lzm, etc.lzm, home.lzm, etc.

So, I'm thinking the .iso was only partially decompressed and I need to decompress those .lzm so I can see the final filesystem format as it should be (considering Linux Filesystem Hierarchy: /bin, /usr, /etc and so on...).

So, how can I do that?

Ow, and Slack uses squashfs, cause when I issued dmesg I could see an input that says:

* loading squashfs utilities.

Hope to be getting close to my answer.

Thanks

use the tools provided in linux live scripts
I believe bt3 was made using lls
http://www.linux-live.org/

you gotta use the lzm2dir (lzm 2 directory)
to decompress the .lzm's

and dir2lzm to sew them back up

thers lots of goodies in there
