booting remastered knoppix from HD
hi - is there a way to remaster knoppix and boot into my remastered version w/o burning my new knoppix?
-
Yes. You do this using a boot disk. The boot disk I created looks for the compressed filesystem in the root of each partition you have. The first one it finds it boots from.
Look at step 3 on this site: http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/view...ype=text/plain

Booting with VMWare
Another way is you do all your work under VMWare, like I do.
You can find a win or linux solution at http://www.vmware.com.
VMWare is able to emulate CD-Rom Drives, using ISO-Images.
So you can boot directly from an ISO-Image (up to 4GB Image Size).
-
The annoying thing about VMWare for this particular application is that each time you remaster, you need to re-create the cd image, as opposed to just booting right from the compressed filesyste.
The boot disk method saves a step.

I've tried the way of rneff. It work! It's very fast compared to work from CD.
But: I can't write to a config file to change something!
Is this because it's booting from an Image?
When I have to change something, must I reboot again with another Installation, change what I need and then reboot again with the boot disk?
I hope'd that with that way I can edit what I need without rebooting and rebooting, etc. .
Is there a way to booting from a KNOPPIX, change what I need without rebooting and after all is OK create an image?

I would boot Knoppix from cd to text mode, mount the partition that contains your remaster (uncompressed of course), chroot into it, get X windows working and make whatever changes you want. Then, make the compressed KNOPPIX, mkisofs and away you go.
-
Yes. What rickenbacherus described is what I do. Although with tho boot disk there is not reason to mkisofs. You can just boot the compressed image.
You do have to reboot each time you make changes. I cannot envision a way to test a live boot Cd without booting it.

How do you make a compressed image without using mkisofs?

I do most testing in a chroot jail and u can even startx and do anything but the actual boot process.There are ways to boot a knoppix iso witout burning it or even using the boot floppy but I have not done that yet.Kano just had someone doing it the other night on irc #knoppix because they didnt have a cdrom or a floppy drive working.It was something like putting miniroot.gz and vmlinuz on the partition along with the KNOPPIX directory copied out of a loop mounted iso and then edition /etc/lilo.conf then running /sbin/lilo and finally rebooting the system.

I've managed it a couple of times by following instructions found here:
http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/HdBasedHowTo
It's interesting, to say the least.
When I had 3 separate 2G partitions, an iso for 3.2 being on the first, I just downloaded 3.3 and followed the steps again for setting it up on /dev/hda2. After my CD burner quit being finnicky, I burned 3.3 and did a true knoppix-mode install on /dev/hda1. I've got the instructions copied just in case my burner fails me again.
