I have been able to get through all the kernel compile steps with no errors, the next step is to see if it will boot!
I do not think that I commented on this yet, I have been using ISOMASTER to rebuild the final ISO. You still need to manually build the KNOPPIX image with the OS and all the applications, but ISOMASTER is a convenient GUI way to repackage the KNOPPIX image into the ISO. I generate an ISO, and then test it in VMware to avoid burning CDs. A useful virtual machine to boot directly to an ISO image is available at vmwarez.com.
Thanks to everyone who posted remastering information (there is a lot of it), it has been a big help.I have run into new problems now. I have been able to generate ISOs with added applications. When generating the ISO, the mkisofs command always has been failing with a KILLED message. Why this is confusing, it that it would generate a KNOPPIX image, that when inserted into the ISO would work fine.
Last night I was experimenting with compiling kernel (still not really making changes yet, just learning) and now mkisofs fails with a KILLED message and the generated KNOPPIX image is zero bytes. I cannot find any logs with any information in them.
This does not make sense to me, does anyone have any suggestions for this?
EDIT: I am back, I can display the exact mkisofs command that I am using:
Have fun experimenting, meoHi meo, thanks for the reply. Actually, I did have a -R (uppercase) in there, I entered it wrong in the post. Do you have any suggestions? I am working through all my steps again tonight, trying to document them better.
