I'm copying knoppix from the CD onto the hard drive, according to the remastering Howto,
but I'm getting error messages from the terminal.
It says "cp: cannot create symbolic link '/mnt/....blahblahblah/blah' : Operation not permitted."
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
i'm not trying to install it to my hard drive. I am remastering it. To do that, I copied the CD to my Hard drive.
I think you may need to be root.Originally Posted by beajedi
I am root when I do it, that's the thing.
So theres something wrong when it cannot create symbolic links when I copy to the hard drive?
In addition, it also says "failed to preserve ownership" and "cannot create special file"
You are using a linux filesystem to copy to? Not fat32 or something?Originally Posted by beajedi
yes, its a linux filesystem as well. The thing is that a lot of files do get copied, but a whole mess of them come up with the error.
Symbolic link errors aside, I can't chroot to my mnt/hda2/KNOPPIX directory.
it goes "chroot: /bin/bash: No such file or directory"
But I can chroot to /KNOPPIX
what's up wit dat?
what copy command did you use ?
cp -dRp
I usually use rsync -a or tar for bulk copy.
I followed the Remaster HOWTO (available on this website)
As root, I typed this in:
"cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hda2/knx/source/knoppix/"
Didn't know cp would recreate symbolic links... Maybe I'm too stuck in UNIX. Normally I'd have to tar it then untar to location I want..
From what I've always known tar will recreate the links, cp will convert the links to files.
Again I'm more UNIX than Linux...
