Thank you kindly Klaus.Hello JD and list, Some minor additions: On Thu, Jun 07, 2012 at 09:31:30AM -0700, JD wrote: [...]cd /ramdisk sudo mkisofs -R -U bin sbin usr lib var | create_compressed_fs -B 131072 -m - - > /tmp/KNOPPIX1^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^There are actually more useful options, but -R is required for keeping the Unix-type permissions, owner and group information intact, and I tries to keep commands short.Then create a new bootable DVD: mkisofs -pad -l -r -J \ -V "KNOPPIX" -A "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 DVD.iso DVD-directory^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Make sure that DVD-directory is fully writable (i.e. chmod -R ug+wX DVD-directory. If you copied from DVD using cp -a, permissions are usually set to read-only.Thanx a LOT Klaus. I am sure your elucidation will help many more users than just me. I am keeping your email for future reference.The remastering howto at knoppix.net recommends cleaning up especially the /var directory from temporary files and archive caches, which I left out in my description. But in order to keep the addon-images small, you should probably do these cleanups before mkisofs, directly in the live system. Regards -Klaus I assume that the resulting iso file will be bootable? |
