SCRIPT

Setup The Environment

• As required at the beginning of a script (UNIX), a Hash Bang

#!/bin/bash

• Script Variables: (More info see: BASH Variables)

SOURCEDIR=`pwd`/source/KNOPPIX
MASTERDIR=`pwd`/master
ARCH=i386 
DEBIAN_RELEASE=sid
DEBIAN_MIRROR=http://http.us.debian.org/debian

• Another Variable, specific Knoppix packages & Kernel modules:

KNOPPIX_PACKAGES="\
  ash-knoppix-26 \
  hwsetup \
  hwdata-knoppix \
  cloop-module \
  linux-image-2.6.17 \
  loop-aes-module-2.6.17 \
  madwifi-modules-2.6.17 \
  ndiswrapper-modules-2.6.17 \
  ndiswrapper-utils \
  rt2x00-modules-2.6.17 \
  unionfs-knoppix-modules-2.6.17 \
  zr364xx-modules-2.6.17 \
  zydas-modules-2.6.17 \
  linux-image-2.6.17 \
  linux-kernel-headers-knoppix \

  rebuildfstab-knoppix \
  network-setup-knoppix \
  usleep-knoppix \
  netcardconfig-knoppix \
  kudzu-knoppix-dev \
  automount-knoppix"

Now setup the environment, make directories, run the debootstrap command and then change root:

mkdir -p ${SOURCEDIR}
mkdir -p ${SOURCEDIR}/knxfiles

debootstrap --arch ${ARCH} ${DEBIAN_RELEASE} ${SOURCEDIR} ${DEBIAN_MIRROR}
cd /KNOPPIX/usr/src/ &&
cp -Rp \
  Makefile \
  kernel.conf \
  knoppix-kernel.README \
  knoppix-kernel.patch \
  linux \
  linux-2.6.17 \
  ${SOURCEDIR}/usr/src/.

cd ${SOURCEDIR}/knxfiles &&
for PACKAGE in ${KNOPPIX_PACKAGES};
{
  dpkg-repack ${PACKAGE}
};

chroot ${SOURCEDIR} \
  /usr/bin/env -i \
  HOME=/root \
  TERM=$TERM \
  PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
  PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin \
  /bin/bash --login

Within chroot

• Install Dependencies required for Knoppix

useradd -m knoppix
echo 'deb-src http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org ./' >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo 'deb http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org ./' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update
cd /knxfiles &&
  dpkg -i * &&
  cd / && rm -rf /knxfiles
apt-get clean

exit

Exit Chroot & Finalize

Prep startup rc startup scripts, inittab

cd ${SOURCEDIR}/etc &&
  rm -rf rc* &&
  cd /KNOPPIX/etc && 
  cp -ax inittab rc* ${SOURCEDIR}/etc/.
umount ${SOURCEDIR}/proc

Build The CD

• Make the compressed KNOPPIX CLOOP file

mkisofs \
-R \
-U \
-V "Knoppix" \
-publisher "rjenniss" \
-hide-rr-moved \
-cache-inodes \
-no-bak \
-pad ${SOURCEDIR} | \
nice -5 /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs - 65536 >  ${MASTERDIR}/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

• Create the knoppix.iso file

mkdir -p ${MASTERDIR}/KNOPPIX
cd /cdrom && find . -size -10000k -type f -exec cp -p --parents '{}' ${MASTERDIR} \;
mkisofs \
-pad \
-l \
-r \ 
-J \ 
-v \ 
-V "KNOPPIX" \
-no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table \ 
-b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c boot/isolinux/boot.cat \
-hide-rr-moved \ 
-o knoppix.iso ${MASTERDIR}
