help remastering

i am stuck here:

1. Now you can "chroot" into the copied KNOPPIX:

*
o chroot /mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX

If you get a whole lot of /dev/null permission denied errors, you should do the following. This can happen if you save your Knoppix configure data to the same partition that you are using here, AND if you start with Knoppix with knoppix home=scan.

Check your mount status if you met the problem: mount /dev/hdaX on /mnt/hdaX type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev) (replace X with your partiton number ) where "nodev" means that you are not accessible on mounted filesystem and you can not access /dev/null. And some scripts get output redirect to /dev/null... To solve this you should mount the target partition before you do chroot like this:

^d # control+d will exit the chroot
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

You should then see:

mount /dev/hda1 on /mnt/hda1 type ext3 (rw)

If the /dev/null warnings persist then before the chroot do :

mkdir /mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
mount --bind /KNOPPIX /mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX
mount --bind /dev /mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX/dev

Better to reboot your box or you have to umount /mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX/dev and rm /mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX before building the CD image or your /dev directory on the CD will be messed up! then you can carry on and chroot.


* You are now chrooted. "/" is actually "/mnt/hda1/knx/source/KNOPPIX"
* To use the internet you need to mount proc mount -t proc /proc proc

i cannot do the proc thing. and once i chrooted, i cannot ping.

please help!

Did you edited resolv.conf or copied from the working source?
Check out this link I just posted:

I do not use the wiki HOWTO remaster guide as I have found (the mounting of proc, cp resolv.conf, the big mkisofs command) too long and too annoying. I have created my own HOWTO: Remaster the easy way using menu based scripts & I just updated it today.
I hope this helps.
