Remastering KNOPPIX adding KNOPPIX[n] overlay's to iso file



Hello Knoppix Colleagues! I am using KNOPPIX 8.2 live USB and it works perfectly :-) !

I'd like to put these modifications (KNOPPIX2 overlay file) inside the iso. But in the end, it boots in virtualbox and qemu only...when I put it in a USB stick it is not booting (I use the dd command).

Can you help me checking if I've missed something?

1) To extract the iso I did:

#mkdir /mnt/iso
#mount -o KNOPPIX-8.2-DVD.iso /mnt/iso
root@Microknoppix:/media/sda4# cp -r /mnt/iso/* /media/sda4/knx/master

2) to add the overlay content:

copied KNOPPIX2 to /media/sda4/knx/master/KNOPPIX/

3) Create new Knoppix ISO

# ref: http://knoppix.net/wiki3/index.php?title=Knoppix_Remastering_Howto, script 4.

genisoimage -l -r -J -V "KNOPPIX" \
  -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
  -boot-info-table -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat \
  -o /media/sda4/knx/custom.iso /media/sda4/knx/master

4) testing it

Runs only in virtualbox and qemu. not running when recorded to a usb (with dd command). To run in a computer I need to use other knoppix live USB and during boot, indicate using cheatcodes to boot from this custom iso file...
