Doing a re-master from a CD ?
Hello,
Is it possible to do re-mastering in reverse ?
That is, can I take a Knoppix 3.2 disk and copy the KNOPPIX file to the hard drive, convert it to an "iso" image and work from there ?
Downloading Knoppix iso at about 700MB with dialup is out of the question.
My only recource is to make an iso from the cd and work with it.
What I wan't to do is this: lower the volume when the female voice says
"Initiating startup". It just about blast me out of the chair!
Also, I have a dual boot system (Win ME).
I found the mixer file in /etc/aumixrc.
vol:79:79:R
This could be vol:40:40:R
But the file is marked as read only, and I can't modify it on the hard drive with GVIM. Using :w! doesn't work.
Any suggestions ?

Typical remastering is:
Boot the CD
Decompress the filesystem onto a HDD
Chroot into decompressed "source" filesystem
Make changes
Recompress and covert into ISO
Burn
Test
The standard method as described in the remastering guide requires more than 1GB of ram+swap and about 3GB of ext3 formatted space on a HDD.

Hi F2E,

Hi bankendbutje,
See if Sunil tomas site helps. http://gnubox.dyndns.org:8080/~sunil/knoppix.php
If I understand your question, You're asking, "How dows one start from a fully installed Debian linux system and convert it to Knoppix ?"
My guess, for example, if installed on hda6 (Mine is)
dd if=/dev/hda6 of=KNOPPIX
Then use mkisofs to include the other html pics and things.
when using mkisofs, there is a flag thats used.
mkisofs -R /mnt/hda6/KNOPPIX | create_compressed_fs - 65536 > (where you want the iso image).
Hope that gives you some insight.

You should also look at the knoppix.net documentation: http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/FaqCustomising
