Hi,
I would like to remaster my knoppix distribution using my debian server.
This involves not booting the KNOPPIX CD . I would like to know how to mount the knoppix boot image in order to be able to copy it in my source dir ?

I think you could-
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/test
cp -R /mnt/test/* /to/wherever
Another thing to be aware of is that you MUST have the same version of cloop-utils on the box that does the remastering as on the CD being remastered.

Yeah, you'll have to boot up the Knoppix version you want to remaster, and copy extract_compressed_fs and create_compressed_fs from /usr/bin and copy those two files to your remaster-box. Or you could try and download those files offline.
Once you have extract_compressed_fs, copy all the files from the mounted Knoppix cd in your remaster box and run ./extract_compressed_fs ./$BIG_KNOPPIX_FILE > $big_knoppix_iso_uncompressed.iso
Then mount $big_knoppix_iso_uncompressed.iso with -o loop and copy the files to a directory.
Then your done.
Good luck,
