    Remastering just got easier?

    Yes,

    since yesterday there is:

    It is still experimental and won't install X:

    Second: I won't take any warranty for any damage caused by this scripts. Use
    them with caution on your own risk.

    - Download all files in http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/debian/knoppify/
    - Extract the templates in the same dir
    - Make a new partition say /dev/hda8 (at least 6 GB should do), mount it to
    say mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8 and debootstrap a basic debian to it
    (debootstrap sarge /mnt/hda, run base-config

    - Change templates/ files to suit your needs (resolv.conf, fstab,
    sources.list)
    - Run ./knoppify.sh /mnt/hda8

    - Download master.iso from
    http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/debia...ase/master.iso

    - mount -o loop master.iso /mnt
    - mkdir /mnt/hda8/KNOPPIX.build/master
    - cp -a /mnt/* /mnt/hda8/KNOPPIX.build/master/
    - umount /mnt

    Now chroot into /mnt/hda8
    Do:

    /KNOPPIX.build/Knoppix-3.4.mkcompressed /KNOPPIX.build/master

    (this are in fact Klaus' scripts)

    The command will create /mnt/hda8/KNOPPIX.build/master.iso.

    To install X do:

    apt-get install x-window-system-core xsession-initscript-knoppix
    xsession-knoppix rxvt-beta locales twm

    useradd knoppix

    (remove passwords from /etc/shadow again, or leave it: your decision)

    Change /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45xsession to include:

    set -x
    set +e

    (You could also install the knoppix specific profile files)

    as first commands to turn off "quit on error" and turn on debugging which you
    can see in /home/knoppix/.xsession-errors.

    I did this sucessfully this night.

    We (me and Danix.cz developers) hope that we can create modules and scripts
    for X as well to make setup of your own basic live CD even easier.

    Also of course there are still scripts missing to create the miniroot.

    cu

    Fabian

    PS: To unknoppify the system for an installation or similar, just do:

    cp -af /etc/inittab.debian /etc/inittab

    done.
    Very worthwhile to read the entire thread:
    http://mailman.linuxtag.org/pipermai...ly/005534.html

    It's promising although I've not yet had a chance to try it myself. Please post with any results if you do.

    As a newbie, it seams to me a bit sketchy.
    I would love to have a detailed HOWTO with this topic (knoppix from scratch) so I could experiment building not remastering.
    The frustration is running high when gurus are chating Linux and newbies don't understand their slang...

    I have a fresh sarge installed and for the start I would like to decrypt:

    mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/hda8 and debootstrap a basic debian to it (debootstrap sarge /mnt/hda, run base-config
    Sarge doesn't have debootstrap, so how can I advance from here? The point is to knoppify whatever sarge, not to use the pre-knoppified master like sugested:

    I would appreciate any helpful comment.
