Hi,
I remastered Knoppix using the Knoppix Remastering Howto. The process appeared to go well with no errors. However, when I boot the CD, Knoppix begins to run but fails:
Creating directories and symlinks on ramdisk...Done.
Starting init process.
INIT: version 2.78-knoppix booting
Running from HD, checking filesystem
Activating swap...
Checking root filesystem...
fsck 1.34-WIP (21-May-2003)
fsck.ext2: Is a directory while trying to open /
/:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem... etc, etc.
Changes to my remaster: I only removed packages I didn't want.
Questions:
1) Should Knoppix be trying to run from my harddrive?
2) Even so... Since my hardrive is ext3 should it be using fsck.ext2?
3) How can I fix this so that Knoppix boots as it does on the stock iso.
BTW - I am working from the 7-26 release.
Basically I want Knoppix to run just like the stock distro with less packages. I don't want to use one of the existing remasters because I'd really like to learn to do this for myself. Anyone have some advice on where I went wrong?
One last thing...
The Knoppix Remastering Howto was very straightforward until I got to:
"first do some cleanup : remove .bash_history files, tmp files etc"
Although I am familiar with Linux enough to install and use it, I am not familiar enough to know what tmp files to remove and what files to consider as etcetera. Would someone be so kind as to clarify this a bit?
Thanks in advance,
--Paul
