Hi,
I appologize if my questions have been answerd before
or if they stem from lack of linux savy :)
I have been looking everywhere for a lead and couldn't find the answer...
I have bee trying to remaster a CD using custom directory
structres.
The remaster process works great thanks to the instructions provided in the FAQ.
But I have 2 problems:
1. After remastering and booting, directories like /var which are mapped to /ramdisk/var (which is writable), contain symlinks to /Knoppix/Var (which is not writable).
I have noticed that all the executable files inside /var become symlinks to /Knoppix/var/ and other files don't change.
When I look at my original source directory the executable files are there, they are not symlinks !!!
My question is how do I control which directories point
to the ramdisk and how do I prevent Knoppix from
replacing my executables with symlinks to the non writable CD.
2. I need to add directories to the remastered root
and have them writable.
I was thinking of adding symlinks.
Where should I add the symlinks ?
Is the /KNOPPIX/knoppix.sh the right place to do that ?
Thank you for your help
