I have been having fun remastering Knoppix to create a portable development environment for a particular project. I removed some software and installed lots of new software I need and all works well.

Most of the process is black magic to me and I am using the excellent knoppix-remaster script which works a charm.

I want to put a symbolic link in the root directory (/) - but this hasn't worked for me.

I chroot into the remaster system and creating the link I require. I then go through the create compressed file system and create iso steps, but when I boot my new system, the link I created is missing from /

Can anyone tell me how to include a symbolic link in the root directory of my re-mastered Knoppix?
