creating the iso image...

[frankp]

Well, the isolinux.bin file is in the appropriate location... anyone else have any suggestions?

Could I have something wrong with the command that I'm not seeing?

The remastering tutorial that you linked to in the original message appears to be oriented towards an earlier version of Knoppix. I think the problem comes from relatively small changes in "location" of stuff - perhaps that'll trigger an insight from someone else on the board who used both versions and remastered.

We are talking about the commands issued generating a specific error. So it has nothing to do with knoppix versions. As a matter of fact, you can manually create a few directories and copy a few files on to the relevant directories (including isolinux.bin ) and issue and commands, and such is what is needed to create a isoimage for any purposes not limited to knoppix only.

The tested result of mine gave no errors.

Well I finally got the file to build but now when I boot from the iso I created, I get the following error:

Compressed KNOPPIX image is broken: /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX on /dev/sr0 on /mnt-system type iso9660 (ro, relatime)

-----------------------
I've used all three of the command versions listed in the remastering howto on pages 14 and 15 (section "KNOPPIX Compressed Image") with no luck so far.

It's definitely building a compressed image of some kind but I have no idea how to tell what needs to be fixed. Any suggestions?
