Knoppix 7.0.3 CD & DVD now on mirrors

[Capricorny]

Maybe it wasn't smart to install the 64-compatibility libs from unstable this time too, for the stripdeb.sh script crashed for some strange reason. Running the steps to strip libc6 (libc6_2.13-34_i386.deb) manually worked, though.

Install of multilibs from stable went quite fine, and I think this is the former unstable version, so it might just work

Update on qemu use: Just did a complete 7.0.3 DVD squashfs remastering, running cloop 7.0.3 in qemu using USB3-mounted external harddisk as workspace. Command as in above post, with -hdb /dev/sdb.

Times:

Set up workspace...............Thu Jul  5 13:35:35 UTC 2012
Copy live system...............Thu Jul  5 13:36:04 UTC 2012
Create squashfs...............Thu Jul  5 13:54:40 UTC 2012
Parallel mksquashfs: Using 1 processor
Loopcreate persistent...............Thu Jul  5 14:20:17 UTC 2012
Purge workspace...............Thu Jul  5 14:20:30 UTC 2012

So, doing the whole remastering business in a virtual machine, using external HDD, is perfectly fine, too.
