From an earlier post.

I've had great success in successively updating my Knoppix 7.0.2 DVD-size LiveUSB
using the process of stacking successive compressed images mentioned by Klaus K in
the link noted in my Post #1....

.
This is not to take away from heretofore 'standard' re-mastering procedure(s) but to
highlight a subtle refinement in using Knoppix that accomplishes much of what one hopes to

Thanks, klaus2008. This helps a lot.

I still am confused over man mkisofs and the die.net version of mkisofs(8). For example, the B option seems to be quite different. Is there really much...
