USB booting :: Modifying files in /KNOPPIX after USB install?

I've got a USB install that I've put quite a bit of work into customizing, but now I'd like to modify some files in the /KNOPPIX dir and find the partition is mounted read-only. What is the best way to change files in this directory?

Boot with the

dsl frugal

boot command, which should already be enabled by default.

Then try manipulating files using Emelfm as Superuser

Unfortunately, that doesn't do me any good. The entire filesystem is mounted as read-only:

Code Sample

bash-2.05b# mount
/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /cdrom type vfat (rw)
/dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)
/ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=168540k,size=163932k)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0666)

The /KNOPPIX mount is mounted as ro (read only).

No, your USB device is now mounted as read-write:

/dev/sda1 on /cdrom type vfat (rw)

However, the KNOPPIX filesystem is read only because it is stored in a Compressed ISO or "cloop" format and cannot be written to in the traditional sense.

However, it is possible to remaster a cloop image file if you have the patience to follow the steps.
