Uncompressed format CD

**brainlessdumb** · 05-08-2003, 01:19 PM

Dear all,
I am customizing Knoppix and have reduced the file size to 640MB. Now I want to burn the CD without using the compression technique. Mainly because, I have a PI machine w/32MB RAM which takes a long time to start the WM.

Can anyone can tell me what command should I use so as not to use the Knoppix compression technique for CD?

Thanks.

you will have to modify the bootup sequence to use LOOPBACK instead of CLOOP. And when making the compressed iso file, you would leave out the make_compressed_fs part.

Hello,
Can you be a bit more verbose wrt cloop and loopback part? How exactly can I change the boot sequence?

I have searched the forum but have not been able to learn more.

About not using the compression, I hope you meant the command, create_compressed_fs and not make_compressed_fs .

Awaiting reply.

No, there will not be much info here. AFAIK, no-one has made a non-comressed knoppix, so you're on you're own with that one. And yes, i meant create_compressed_fs.

As for changing the boot sequence, you'll have to change the scripts in miniroot ( inside boot img ) to mount your knoppix iso with loopback not cloop.
