Since everyone seems to have a different way to remaster, here's my 2 euro cents. The three scripts below are taken from the ParallelKnoppìx CD. They use Xdialogs. The first copies the CD contents to HD. The second gets a CHROOT environment going, and the third creates the ISO image. I have used cute little devils to mark the beginning and end of each.
