Hello

I have 2,5 GB iso file of my KNOPPIX. I remstered it (I remove some packages) and make KNOPPIX filesystem, iso later. That works, my KNOPPIX boot ok - no problems.

But now I got a big problem.

Here is all things I do:

(1) I am going to chroot
(2) I remove openoffice: apt-get remove --purge openoffice-de-en
(2) I remove true fonts for openoffice: apt-get remove --purge ttf-openoffice
(3) I install new openoffice: dpkg -i *.deb
(4) I edit (in chroot) dictionary.lst and adding my language
(5) I leve chroot and make a KNOPPIX filsystem (mkisofs), later iso.

Before those 5 operations my iso is 2,5 GB (and it's booting ok with no errors).

After those 5 operations my iso growns at about 200 MB (2.7 GB - full).

After those 5 operations I can't boot my rematstered Knoppix: Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem?

When I remove some packages it is ok, but when I add some packages and my iso is over 2.5 GB (orginal size) i got message error: Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem.

I didn't burn the iso file, I test it with qemu and VMVARE software.

I don't know what is wrong.

Thanks for any help.

The ISO file may be over 2 GB but NOT the KNOPPIX file! Please check that KNOPPIX is under 2048 MB because it is a maximum cloop image size.

If your KNOPPIX file is too big you must split it to two files as in Knoppix DVD. The way how two cloop images are regocnized is declared in linuxrc (inside minirt.gz).

I have not downloaded Knoppix DVD so I can't say how to remaster it. But I know that Fabian Franz's menu based scripts can't do that.
