Other Help Topics :: ReMastering HOWTO for DSL



Yep that's just the same, i did exactly like you, i've forgotten to say that I first copied the file.
Thanks fort all ;)
ByeBye!

If i were to *gasp* want to modify the kernel, where would i find the source for this distribution? I cannot seem to locate it in any of the download locations, but need to make some modifications for a project I am working on.
The quickest way to get the sources is to grab the knoppix 5-17-2004 CD.
DSL is made from this knoppix build, and the disk includes everything you'll need.

Once you remaster a CD, if you use the "Copy to Hard Drive" option in the tools menu, will it copy all of your changes or no? If it did, I'd remaster a CD here and now.
Verlorenrivets!

Frankly I don't know! But what I do know is that it works beautifully remastering the most recent versions of DSL just in the RAM. There is no hard-drive space needed as long as you have at least 256 MB of RAM and deletes the source-dir before making the final iso-file. I'm posting this from my remaster of the 0.8.4 version of DSL. Here comes the whole RAM-Remaster-HOWTO again:

RAM-Remastering HOWTO for Damn Small Linux

Change the keyboard-layout (unless you have a us keyboard)

$sudo loadkeys se-latin1   (I have a swedish keyboard-layout)
$startx

Mount the partition where you have stored the files you want to add

$sudo su
#mount -rw /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2   (Here I have stored files I want to add)

Make the directories needed

#mkdir source
#mkdir newcd
#mkdir newcd/KNOPPIX

Copy necessary files to directory /newcd

#cp -Rp /cdrom/boot newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/lost+found newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/index.html newcd
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda2/Dokument newcd

Copy the sources to the right directory

#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* source
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/.bash_profile source

Go through and copy wanted things to source

#cp -Rp /mnt/hda2/backgrounds source/etc/skel/.fluxbox
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda2/styles/* source/usr/share/fluxbox/styles
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda2/Skins/* source/etc/skel/.xmms/Skins

Create the custom compressed image file:

#mkisofs -R source | create_compressed_fs - 65536 >
newcd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

Then I had to remove the source-dir to gain space and make it work

Create the iso-file as follows:

#mkisofs -no-pad -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b
boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -o mydsl.iso newcd

Copy the iso-file to the partition where you have your favourite cd-burning program

#cp mydsl.iso /mnt/hda1    (Here I have my favourite cd-burning program)

DSL is really an amazing distro. I am constantly surprised by the new versions that keep on coming. I sometimes think that there is nothing that can make it better. But the developers are performning a wonderful work! Thank you for the best distro out there and keep up the good work!

Have fun everybody,
