    how to add symbolic link to root

    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?

    I am also a new user for knoppix, so forgive me if I made wrong suggestion

    the /root in Knoppix is in ramdisk, and Knoppix doesn't copy file from /KNOPPIX/root ro /root .
    what you can do is create a script in /etc/init.d/myscript
    ln -s /etc/init.d/myscript /etc/rc5.d/S50myscript

    and put somthing like ln -s ... ... there.

    Ah so easy! Thanks for the mighty clue, my brain was fogged up from long hard day at the computer.
