Hello,

I have been trying to remaster KNOPPIX V3.3, so I created a dir named ISOLINUX and put all relevant files:



/ (root)
|
+ ISOLINUX
| |
| - isolinux.bin
| |
| - isolinux.cfg
| |
| - boot.msg
| |
| - F2
| |
| - german.kdb
| |
| - miniroot.gz
| |
| - vmlinuz
+



Then I made the filesystem with mkisofs -o knoppix.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .

After probing all devices it says cannot find KNOPPIX filesystem and drop me to a very limiter shell.
This is the screen, if anyone know the problem please help me

I don't know how to help you with that error, but I can give you some advice. Knoppix 3.3 is old http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=knoppix and may not be your best choice to remaster. Many programs were upgraded & many security holes were plugged from 3.3 2004/02/16 to Knoppix 3.8.2 2005/05/12. I would recommend that you remaster Knoppix 3.8.2 and not Knoppix 3.9 since it has a filesystem bug.

It sounds like you are following the wiki document http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Knoppix_Remastering_Howto. I wrote a HOWTO document about remastering called HOWTO: Remaster the easy way using menu based scripts (http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13867). There is also an alternative method here http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18222.

I hope this helps.
James

Thanks for the help, I didn't use the correct parameters in mkisofs, now it works fine
