Hi,
First off I want to say I love Knoppix. I'm a NetAdmin and it has saved me a few times. I have incorporated it into my disaster recovery plan.
I want to remaster it to be able to add and remove some programs specific to my needs.
I have been successful in pairing down Knoppix but I haven't been able to get my new iso to boot.
I am using an existing Linux (RedHat 7.3) system that has EXT3 partitions.
Here is the process I used to remaster. Maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong:
- I started using the KnoppixRemasteringHowTo from www.knoppix.net.
- I am able to get to point of chroot to do my customizations
- The customizing:
run apt-get update
run apt-get install aptitude
run aptitude to remove programs - I didn't add any at this point
once my selections are made I use the download option to do it's thing
I notice that sysinit seems to get upgraded as does LILO
The LILO part of the upgrade asks if I want to make new configs - I say no
- after aptitude does it's thing I continue with the RemasterFAQ
- I am able to make the iso with no problem
The problem now is it won't boot.
I get the message that it wants the root password to enter the maintenance mode. This happens during the AutoMount part of the boot up. (I can post the exact message - it's quite long) It seems like it fails trying to fsck an EXT2 partition.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Once I get my "NetAdmin" version of Knoppix working I will gladly upload it for everyone to get.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Sheldon
