Other Help Topics :: dsl 4.2.5 remastering drives me crazy ;)
Hello guys
since 2 days im trying to remaster dsl 4.2.5 finally I got it, but i need further customizations.
First problem:
When I boot (options: lang=de toram desktop=fluxbox) from the dsl cd (normal iso with grub) i can't see the /cdrom/boot
I can see this after I do a right click on apps --> mount /mnt/auto/cdrom there is a boot directory
then I do the steps described by meo
but the problems going on...
the first time I do "mkisofs ..." I get a 0k KNOPPIX file...its totally empty...
ok I booted into xubuntu and mounted the partition where I've saved the files. Then I was able to create the correct KNOPPIX file. First time i forgot to unmount proc and the result was an 300MB KNOPPIX file (source was 131MB ) ok I could solve this.
The remastering process using the LiveCD seems impossible to me. Remastering works with the script, but not from "scratch".
ok finally I got it but it was really crappy...or I'm just too stupid
Now i have some questions...
1.) What can I do that the CD starts up with my boot options without the possibility for somebody to stop the boot process or altering the boot options.
2.) I need to start cups. I installed the files in the dsl package manually and it runs perfect in chroot ;). I even could connect to the webinterface after disabling cups on my xubuntu machine. But the problem is I can't add a printer connected via USB. I have no printer connected but I need to add the appropriate driver that i can boot up the livecd ready for this printer...I could install a printer on lpt1 or serial port whatever but no usb. I hope you understand my problem. This is a bit off topic but probably anybody knows this.
3.) I need to start up opera instead of dillo, because the build in Kioskmode of opera. Where is the appropriate config file to manage this?
I hope my english is understandable .
cu and thank you for your help1.) See the default boot options in [.../]boot/isolinux.cfg
2.) You're using the cups dsl package in xubuntu? Not sure what you're asking for.
3.) Comment/delete the dillo line and add in your own in /etc/skel/.xinitrchello and thank you for your answers...
I have mounted the partition where I saved the files for remastering and then chrooted into it from a shell in my xubuntu... then i started cups via "cuspsys start" and it was possible to connect to from my firefox on xubuntu to the cups admin interface at 127.0.0.1:631 for configuring the system...
I copied the needed ppd file(s) and wanted to install the printer but this was not possible because it is not possible to choose a usb device (only http, IPP, lpt, serial) for that printer... now I'm looking for a way to configure the printer manually....and tell it to use the usb device...I think when I connect the printer he will have a usb device
But i can't get such a printer at the moment...but there must be a way to preconfigure the the printer, so that it can be used...

The toram boot option loads the KNOPPIX file into ram. The original root partition is no longer a vital part of the system after this, so the partition is unmounted. This is a feature, not a problem =o)I thougt this too...
later at home I will check back if this only happens with the option toram or if this happens in general...
the sound of the cd drive annoyed me so that I chose this option :PNext Page...
