Hi,
After several days of trying to create a bootable Knoppix CD from the
downloaded .iso, I think with xcdroast I am finally almost there. All
except for this error:
Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660.
mkisofs 1.15a39 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Writing: Initial Padbock Start Block 0
Done with: Initial Padbock Block(s) 16

Writing: Eltorito Volume Descriptor Start Block 17
mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image 'boot.img' !
boot.img is in the same directory as the source Knoppix image, as
recommended by the 'Boot options' tab's mouseover hottip message:
-rw-r--r-- 1 kenneth kenneth 733675520 Dec 10 23:26
KNOPPIX_V3.1-10-09-2002b-EN.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 kenneth kenneth 2048 Dec 11 17:07 boot.cat
-rw-r--r-- 1 kenneth kenneth 1474560 Dec 11 17:05 boot.img
I put it & boot.cat there by mounting the .iso and copying them from the
CD with
dd if=/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img of=./boot.img
dd if=/cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.cat of=./boot.cat
I have logging set to verbose & this is what it reports when I push the
'Master to image file' button on the 'Create session/image' tab:

"/=/home/kenneth/temp/KNOPPIX_V3.1-10-09-2002b-EN.iso"
the directory /home/kenneth/temp/xcdroast is where I set it to store its
temporary files.
I found this page which indicates 'boot.img' must be on the source
filesystem, but the source I'm using is already an .iso so I'm not sure
how I can achieve that:
http://www.linuxmanagers.org/pipermail/linuxmanagers/2002-September/000695.html
I tried copying boot.img to both / & ~temp/xcdroast
I tried using the one directly off the source .iso mounted as /cdrom
I'm running sid with:
xcdroast 0.98alpha10
mkisofs 1.15a39 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Where else should I be putting the
'boot.img'?
Thanks in advance,
kenneth
