Remastering - The easy way
Hi guys,
greetings from UKUUG, which did end yesterday.
I have been quite busy and you can see the result here:
http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2004/knoppix.shtml
Update:
To use this script do:
(For /mnt/hda7/remaster you can provide any path, where your remaster lies or should lie; you can even leave it blank and select the path with the file-selector)
The program then guides you through the process of remastering:
First it checks the available memory size and if there is not enough, it'll ask if you want to create a swapfile or exit.
Next it'll ask if you want to do a new remaster or choose an old one.
If you do a new remaster, all files are copied with a nice progress bar.
(You always can later find the ISO in $REMASTER_CHOOSE_DIR/KNOPPIX.build/Knoppix.Master/KNOPPIX-CUSTOM.iso.)
Then you are in the main menu:
- Choose chroot to work in the your remaster as normal.
- Choose Create Compressed FS do make te Compressed Filesystem (you do not need to bother about manual cleanup, Klaus' scripts do that and much more automatically)
- Choose Create ISO
Finished.
You can also find a menu item to edit options, quit the program or load a sort file.
A sample sort file is provided in $REMASTER_CHOICE/KNOPPIX.build/mkisofs.sort.sample.
All Questions answered, aay?

Fabian,
You are the man! I truly thank you for being one of Knoppix's best contributors. I also extend thanks to Ian Naylor for his remastering scripts. I look forward to trying this stuff out. Of course you know there may be one negative result from all this: expect a lot more Knoppix spin offs to be hitting ftp mirrors in the future

BTW, is there any documentation on this script? I guess I should just download it and have a look at it. I'd love to hear more about what is planed for this.

It will not out of the box.
You would need to replace the mkisofs Code with the old code from Knoppix.mkcompressed.
Why do you need it to work with so old versions?

Been waiting for this 14 months
As Fabian asked Vick, why so old versions? Well, I'm amazed for what the progress of Knoppix has been, but I primarily use a Toshiba laptop, which as many postings in this site confirm, many of them stopped working with Knoppix after 2003-06-06. That was the last fine working version for my machine. In all that have followed, the hard disk cannot be mounted, even if fdisk reports the partitions without problem. The computer works ok with Debian and Mandrake, but THEY ARE NOT KNOPPIX . So, when I want to have fun with newer Knoppixes I sadly have to use another machine.
So I am also waiting eagerly for you to return home and hand us those "old" scripts for those such "old" Knoppixes.
BTW: wouldn't you have an idea what this problem of mounting the hard disk might be? What changed so deeply between 2003-06-06 and the following versions? Kudzu HW detection?
I have resorted to customizing my 06-06 with whatever I like of what is added to newer Knoppix, but I feel I might be missing some (or much) of the fun in newer versions!
Thx.
