Step by step - Remaster Knoppix 7.0.5 CD w/ Virtualbox 4.2 from Oracle

[Werner P. Schulz]

I've some notes to your "Step by step" and I hope you'll not discouraged by this.

To remaster Knoppix is not easy, especially with the chroot method. The preferred way nowadays is to use a flash disk installation of Knoppix and adapt all as you need it within this installation. For Knoppix CD version you need an USB stick with minimal size of 4GB, for DVD version minimal size 8GB. If you only want to install the latest VirtualBox version, then remaster with chroot method is an overkill.

If you have a flash disk installation, you can use the following instructions.

• The download-links used here are only as an example. Visit http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/ and select the latest versions by yourself!

Download both files
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtu...heezy_i386.deb
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtu...0.vbox-extpack
as you did it and save them to '/home/knoppix/Desktop'. Open a terminal and type:

su
aptitude purge virtualbox?
cd /home/knoppix/Desktop
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.12-84980~Debian~wheezy_i386.deb

• For CD version only: you'll get error messages because dependencies problems; therefore

aptitude update
aptitude install virtualbox-4.2

Now go on within the terminal:

usermod -a -G vboxusers knoppix
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
virtualbox

The GUI of Virtualbox opens. Select "Files => Preferences => Extensions => the icon 'Add packages'" and install
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.12-84980.vbox-extpack.

Close the GUI. Now you can start with "System Tools => Oracle VM VirtualBox" the new installed version.
