remaster knoppix in windows

I haven't tried this myself but it would be interesting to see how it goes. Just follow the normal remastering instructions. I just hope you've got a lot of RAM!

Take care,

Adam

Sure you can. It's my preferred mastering environment actually, because I can test how it boots without burning a CD and restarting my computer every time.

Tecnical level linux newbie.
I'm trying to make a new knoppix cd for self and a friend.

I downloaded an english iso image file from Knoppix for the Jan 20 03 version. I downloaded Nero. (also tried CD Mate) per the Burning Faq.

The file is 698 MB Knoppix_v3.1-3003-01-20-en .

My CD-r size is 657MB The disk label says 650MB.

The burner software with a blank CD-r disk generates an error message,
"Not enought room ..."

How is this done. Does linnux record more than 650 on a disk?
Is there a way to do it in windows (running XP home).

Additional notes:
I have debian installed on a second partition and have an october version of knoppix I can use, also.
I have read the faq for burning knoppix from linux, if I have to do this I will need to redownload the knoppix file into a linux partition? or can I mount the
xp file from debian across partitions?

You need some bigger CD-Rs, the 700mb/80 minute size.

I think it should be possible to create the iso image in vmware. But then you have to burn the image somewhere else, for burning is afaik not supported by vmware.
I use vmware since V1.0? and with every new release I've tried burning again.
They say it should be possible in raw cd mode, but I didn't succed until now.
e.g. nero seems working - but after burning I don't find anything on the cd.

Plus the suspend feature is a boon. A lot of the time I need to stop in the middle of remastering and its a pain to have to come out of the chroot and then go back in again when I want to continue. This way you hit suspend, shut down your PC, come back and hit resume and everything pops back exactly as you left it (even in the middle of dpkg updates!). Unfortunately everything comes at a price and VMWare ain't cheap. For what you get with it though I think its good value.

You can't burn from vmware. So what? That doesn't matter!. After finishing my iso, I ftp it to Windows, and from Windows I am testing it ... using another VM!

VMware rules!
