Problem of creating liveCD

**carfield** · 04-17-2005, 05:49 PM

I follow the guide at http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Remaster..._Install_HowTo to remaster from HDD install. However, once I burn the CD and try to boot the machine, while KDE starting, it ask me to login as the user I've created and there are many permission deny message. Most are skipable except:

Could not start ksmserver. Check your installion.

How can I make the liveCD behave like knoppix that there is only default knoppix user in the system which /home directory is at writable RAM disk?

carfield,
At the end of last year I followed this same guide you mentioned and was not able to suceed, although I have done it twice, paying very careful attention to the details. So I decided to do it my own way and came up with a procedure that really worked and which I automated by means of a shell script . It is posted at this same room, at http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18222. Maybe you should give it a try.
Cheers.

Sorry nelsongs, it don't work... the iso produced is not bootable, even worst is that it corrupt the HDD boot sector... I guess the cause is that I run the script at root, and it should be run at some other folder... right?

carfield,
For this script to run smoothly you have to do it as a normal user, not root or one of the alikes such as su or sudo. On the first versions it was exactly the opposite, you had to run it as su or sudo, but as a large number of people who were trying it was having some kind of trouble running it as su or sudo, I found out one small routine from Klaus Knopper inside the Beatrix distro which could allow someone to run it as normal user. This routine was adapted by mark_jones, a friend of mine and who also works in this script along with me.
Anyway, if you´d like, please download the new version of it, which is available at http://www.ngsys.eti.br/remasters/kn...ster_en-1.2.sh. This is an updated version, which fix some minor bugs presented in the previous one and which also includes the possibility of burning the iso image directly from it.
Hope hear from you soon,
Best regards.
