Other Help Topics :: ReMastering HOWTO for DSL



Hi!

I would like to thange the text that first shows after Uncompressing Linux....., ie Welcome DSL - Built Using Knoppix technology....
I've tried to modify the /etc/motd file, but nothing changes!
What should I do?

Thanks!

I think those messages might be coming from the boot.msg file, which gets called by isolinux.cfg.

/cdrom/boot/isolinux/boot.msg

try editing that file in the remaster.

Nope, i've just found that this message is in the minirt.gz file.
But no idea how to modify this one, i've tried to do it manually but then kernel can't mount root :angry:  ???
I've found this, but no idea on how to use it.

Thanks for your suggestion clacker!

WoW i thing i'm on the good way :
i did this :
gunzip minirt24.gz
mkdir minirt
mount -o loop -t ext2 minirt24 minirt
And i get the complete tree of the file in the dir minirt.
I'm now trying to find this funny text!

EDIT : now vi linuxrc!
Yess we got it!

EDIT 2 : yep that's all !
Then : umount minirt
rm -Rf minirt
< minirt24 gzip > minirt24.gz
rm minirt24 -f

And then remaster!!:
:;):

Look in linuxrc

I would have done:

Code Sample

cp /cdrom/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz .
gunzip minirt24.gz
sudo su
mount -o loop minirt24 /mnt/floppy
cd /mnt/floppy
scite linuxrc
#### make your changed to the text (it's after the echos)
umount /mnt/floppy
gzip minirt24
exit


then use that instead of the real one in your remaster
