Basically you set everything up inside one directory. (Using either Wine or Crossover Office). There must be a file called "wrapper" inside that launches the application. Finally you create the cmg with
mkcramfs /the/directory/with/the/wrapper/in/it ~/Desktop/my.cmg
and there you have your cmg.
The step-by-step-instructions would be multiple pages, but I have both apps you mention running fine from cmg.

this sounds very interesting, but i am a little confused and would like to get a few more details in setting this up...Originally Posted by probono
in the past i have always installed crossover office and Office 2000 in a persistent home directory. the main directory is the .cxoffice directory. is this the one that I should run mkcramfs against to make my .cmg file?
thanks in advance,

I did find this link:
http://klik.atekon.de/docs/?page=Com...ation%20Images
Not a lot more additional information, but a couple of helpful bits of direction.
do people think it would be worthwhile to create a howto for this? Anyone interested in working together through this thread to put together some documentation?
Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to write a full howto, but essentially you need to "repackage" cxoffice so that it uses everything from inside the cmg instead of ~/.cxoffice and /opt

Hey PB,
That sounds like a good lead. Wouldn't that be essentially the cxoffice directory then?
Any chance we could look at the wrapper you are using for Office 2000? That is the cmg I would like to work on developing first, unless you have a simpler package that you would recommend we start with.
thanks!

okay, here is what i have so far... not pretty, and not klikable, but functional. After installing Crossover Office and Office 2000, I saved the following directories to a spare partition (on hda3):
/home/knoppix/cxoffice
/home/knoppix/.cxoffice
/home/knoppix/.kde/appnk
Then when I reboot from live CD (currently running Kanotix 2005-02) I setup Crossover Office wth the following script.
#***crossover office***
ln -s /mnt/hda3/.cxoffice /home/knoppix/.cxoffice
ln -s /mnt/hda3/cxoffice /home/knoppix/cxoffice
cp -Pr /mnt/hda3/applnk/* /home/knoppix/.kde/share/applnk
cp "/mnt/hda3/applnk/Windows Applications/Programs/Internet Explorer.desktop" /home/knoppix/Desktop
cp "/mnt/hda3/applnk/Windows Applications/Programs/Microsoft Outlook.desktop" /home/knoppix/Desktop
#***end crossover office setup***
Anyone have any suggestions on creating a CMG and wrapper from this particular scenario? Not absolutely necessary, as I have what I want (the ability to run Crossover Office / Office 2000 from a live CD without a persistent home directory using the KDE menu), but I would like the ability to make the applications a little more portable.
