Adding own folders to iso

[wjp79]

Hello people,

I am experiencing some issues creating an remastered iso.
I created some folder /A /B ?C etc in root level for future mount points.

When I run the kn-remaster script and build the iso, the folders are not in the iso.
To copy the folders to the remaster folder I added the following lines like this.

$RSCMD /A $OKR
$RSCMD /B $OKR
etc

The folder is now correctly copied to the remaster folder, but when I build and boot the iso, the folders still dont exist.

What am I missing here?

Greets,

WJP

I'll test it in the evening with the part "Build new ISO from remastered Knoppix" of the kn-remaster script.

But by the way, if you need additional mountpoints, create them within '/mnt' and not in the root-directory.

In your special case insert a line within "fknrsync()"

$RSCMD /mnt $OKR --exclude=/mnt/... and exclude all the subdirectories within '/mnt' you will not have in the new ISO.

Thank you for looking into this.

About the mointpoints.
I use other scripts that mount hdd drives on /C , /D , /E etc.
But they also call other scripts locates on /oke.

So I need the option to put folders on root.

I could change the scripts, but I thought putting the folders on the ISO was easier.

I still work on it :-)
I've found, no empty directories appear within the remastered ISO, wether '/A, /B ..' nor '/mnt/A, /mnt/B..', and I don't know why.

[Werner P. Schulz]

No I've it; it is a problem with the UNIONFS and not with the kn-remaster script. If you want mountpoints within the new ISO, you can establish these as '/opt/A', '/opt/B' and so on.
Mountpoints at '/A', '/mnt/A' and so on doesn't work.
