LiveCD/USB HELP

@luther:

I don't think you have to sort the files.

I think it would be a good idea to create a new directory 'knx402' on an HDD. In that directory create a subdirectory 'master'.
Copy the directory KNOPPIX and its subdirectories from the DVD to the 'master' directory.

In a terminal change to the 'knx402' directory and remove the file master/KNOPPIX/isolinux/boot.cat
Use the program genisoimage to create a bootable ISO image.

genisoimage -l -r -J -V "KNOPPIX"  -b KNOPPIX/isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4  -boot-info-table -c KNOPPIX/isolinux/boot.cat  -o ./knx402.iso ./master

Burn the new ISO image on a CD-R and try it out.

I hope that helps.

Dear klaus2008:

I have a functional LiveUSB KNOPPIX 7.0.3, created from the CD footprint. If you could provide more details on mounting the HDD (sda1) and the complete path to the 'knx402' directory on it, would be helpful, since my background is bloated windows.

I would like to do everything from the Knoppix 7.0.3 root, so Standards are kept. Would this be your preferred syntax, to burn the new ISO:

cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 speed=1 /dev/sda1/knx402/knx402.iso

THX 4 HLP!

Dear klaus2008: The 'boot catalog' directory is a requirement, that is missing:

 knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo genisoimage -l -r -J -V "KNOPPIX"  -b KNOPPIX/isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -c KNOPPIX/isolinux/boot.cat -o ./knx402.iso /media/sda1/knx402/master 
 I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) genisoimage: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory 'KNOPPIX/isolinux' ! 
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$

Can this error flag dialog be rectified? Please verify the above genisoimage syntax . . . Yours, luther
