I've removed Perl and the ISO image has been 300 MB,its good.
Hello,
I'm trying to make a slim remastered version of Knoppix 6.2. I need to have only few features,such as Dosemu and few others. I don't need the graphic part at all,Dosemu should works on the Command Line Interface. Although I've removed many packages such as Java and OpenOffice, the ISO image created is too big,it is almost 600 MB. I would like to reduce it to about 300 MB. If I remove the wrong packages,the system will not work properly. Can you explain how to make a safe streamlining ? These are the commands I give to make the iso :
rm -rf /mnt/linux/knx/source/KNOPPIX/.rr_moved
mkisofs -R -U -V "KNOPPIX.net filesystem" -publisher "KNOPPIX www.knoppix.net" \
-hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -no-bak -pad /mnt/linux/knx/source/KNOPPIX \
| nice -5 /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /mnt/linux/knx/master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
cd /mnt/linux/knx/master
find -type f -not -name sha1sums -not -name boot.cat -not -name isolinux.bin \
-exec sha1sum '{}' \; > KNOPPIX/sha1sums
mkisofs -pad -l -r -J -v -V "KNOPPIX" -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat \
-hide-rr-moved -o /mnt/linux/knx/knoppix.iso /mnt/linux/knx/master

Are you getting rid of all the gui applications?
If so, shouldn't you start with a non-graphic system?
I know I should do it, but I know that all roads lead to Rome,too
One road would be better than many.
Are you really sure ? Someone said :
Die Slowly
He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routes every day,
who never changes pace,
who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,
who does not speak and does not experience,
dies slowly.
He or she who shuns passion,
who prefers black on white,
dotting ones "it’s" rather than a bundle of emotions, the kind that make your eyes glimmer,
that turn a yawn into a smile,
that make the heart pound in the face of mistakes and feelings,
dies slowly.
He or she who does not turn things topsy-turvy,
who is unhappy at work,
who does not risk certainty for uncertainty,
to thus follow a dream,
those who do not forego sound advice at least once in their lives,
die slowly.
He who does not travel, who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
she who does not find grace in herself,
dies slowly.
He who slowly destroys his own self-esteem,
who does not allow himself to be helped,
who spends days on end complaining about his own bad luck, about the rain that never stops,
dies slowly.
He or she who abandon a project before starting it, who fail to ask questions on subjects he doesn't know, he or she who don't reply when they are asked something they do know,
die slowly.
Let's try and avoid death in small doses,
reminding oneself that being alive requires an effort far greater than the simple fact of breathing.
Only a burning patience will lead
to the attainment of a splendid happiness.
Pablo Neruda.
Pablo would die slowly trying all the roads to Rome.
He would do better to consult a map and choose just one from just a few.
Does Pablo have a brother, Sancho?
And, what does
dotting ones "it’s"
mean, anyway?
Very nice poetry and so true
Pablo supposed to does not have a complete map of the roads
