Revised version of Remastering HowTo

[Werner P. Schulz]

Specifically can't find this cpu choice now.

... look at this screenshot

guest x11 resolution not right,

You have to install GuestAdditions. Please read in VirtualBox manual> 4.2.1. Guest Additions for Windows

don't know how to export final iso to host,

First of all you have to copy the new ISO to the directory of isoimages from VirtualBox. Don't know how this looks like beneath Windows7 and how you can do it. Perhaps you need an USB-stick to make the copy from VirtualBox to the directory in Windows. With Linux it is all very easy to do

After this you can mount the new ISO in VirtualBox to start from it.

Own Rescue-CD with Knoppix (Knoppix V6.4.4 remaster)

[Werner P. Schulz]

don't know how to get current iso into iso9660 format

... this is only a warning, the ISO will work.

Can't figure out the 'shared folder' secret.

Please read in the manual "4.3 Shared Folders"

The idea of my way of remastering is
1. create an enviroment to work by the Debian like Installation of Knoppix (it is not a Installation of Debian!)

2. avoid problems by working in a not exactly defined enviroment (Gentoo, BSD, Windows an so on)

3. use scripts, which will do all the job for you and are well tested beneath the new Knoppix version

4. a separate enviroment dosn't disturb your productive OS

Of ourse, the other ways are using Remaster HowTo or simply use flash disk Installation with persistent memory.

My description is for experienced users; users who never worked with VirtualBox have problems. VirtualBox isn't a tool you can learn within a few minutes.

You will be amused to know that I just used my LiveCD, not an iso,
and told VirtualBox where my guest OS source was to be found.
A few snapshots later I had something like my LiveUSB up and
running, albeit with a few hardware emulation errors.
I didn't know that was the wrong way to go about things.

I'll stop troubling you with all my growing pains.
Thanks for getting me going on both VirtualBox & re-mastering.
