Hi,

I am using Koppix with the "home=/dev/hda4" Parameter. I changed a lot of stuff and everything works great. Only one thing made me "gone wild":

The home partition is always mounted with option "nodev"!
So when I tried to chroot to the KNOPPIX directory in my home, I am getting lots of Error messages, because the device /dev/null cannot be accessed.

The solution is really simple for me.

1) It is really simple to remount the device:
mount -o remount,dev /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4
2) I am using chroot /mnt/hda4/blablabla instead of /home/knoppix/blablabla! (Because the mount of /mnt/hda4 to /home/knoppix prevents the devices to work, too!)

Maybe this helps other too. And maybe somebody wants to add that to the remastering howto.

With kind regards,

Konrad
