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:

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...
