Apps :: Using MkMyDsl to add my own packages



You can use a liveCD as long as you have a mydsl directory already setup and working by using a mydsl=hdXY option or even an autodetected mydsl directory will work. The script will then use your existing extension collection to make the iso.

It is the mydsl directory that is different and required. Not frugal, my bad.

Be sure to use a Linux directory to store your iso. Windows partitons/drive will not work.

DSL is not static and therefore the Wiki, being user contributed docs, will always be behind current releases.

Ah, I think the program was trying to tell me that, but I didn't understand.  The script did say run mydsl=xxxx but I didn't know what that meant.

I found out the hard way that a pen drive with vfat didn't work, changes KNOPPIX to lowercase, and then you can't boot once you've written the ISO   :p

I've been using a pen drive with ext2 and extlinux instead of syslinux for a while now - seems to work fine.
