Everything was looking good until it got to:
Applying patches and concatenating to filesys.knoppixpatch
rm: cannot remove "filesys.knoppixpatch" No such file or directory

After a while it continued the process and seemed to be going Ok until it got to the mkisofs which started and then came up with this error
Uh.Oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory "Knoppix"
Deleting: swapfile
swapoff: swapfile: Invalid argument
Deleting ISO Folder


I am a relative newbie at the command line side of Linux I have more used the GUI so I am a bit losted as what I should be doing. In writing this I was wondering if the patching script has something refering to Hda1 and that maybe where I am going wrong the only problem I have less than a Gig free on hda1.

Also no this sytem it took about 2.5 hours to go through the whole process does that sound normal?
The script doesn't depend on hda1. It does depend on a lot of hdd space.

If you can't find the boot catalog, it is likely the CD root filesystem has not been created. This may happen if the tar file which 'applypatch' creates is not bit perfect with the version of Knoppix the patch was created from. The current common patch set was created from an EN version of the disk. if you are starting from a DE version, you will need a patch file specifically for that. version.


The amount of time taken depends heavily on your hardware. If you have DMA set up ont he CD and hard drive, the process will be much quicjker than without.
