Remaster From HD Install

**bongski55** · 09-06-2003, 11:28 AM

I now have a Knoppix hd installation which I have tweaked to my liking. I installed and uninstalled software,changed the looks,etc.
What should I do in order to make a knoppix live cd from my hd installation?

I do have an idea since I already have done successful remasters before. What I want to know are:
1. how to make a new boot.img file(see related post).
2.should I transfer the whole root partition for remasterring and making iso?
3.if so what is the maximum size of the partition in order to woirk as a single cd iso?

sorry to be short.
mount -o loop boot.img /your_mount_point ;look at syslinux.cfg
modify add what you like to modify it/

Once you have a partition working as you like,my simplest way is to boot
from a cd_knoppix into textmode then make iso of your partition,then compress.This way you don't have to transfer anywhere (save disk space).
You don't have to care about the partition size,since it only "iso" the
stored file structure,not the empty space of the partition..Just care about at the end to have final iso below 725Mb for 700Mb_cd

It is not that simple. You have to put in the new vmlinuz file and a modified miniroot.gz.
The miniroot is the most difficult part.
