DSL Tips and Tricks :: mkmydsl problem in dsl 3.2

Quote

When boot finsihed, I install extensions (from answer no. 4) from myDSL extension browser (without root previledges) > Local files. Then I point to /dev/hdb1.

This is where the issue is. As the program states you must have booted with an autoscanned mydsl directory or have specified it, with a mydsl=xyz. In other words the system must boot into a working system with all extension loaded at boot time.

If you manually load extensions from the extension browser, there is no way the script would know from where, possibly many, locations, your extensions were loaded.

The mkmydsl is a simple remaster not a full remaster. As such it does not remaster a post installed/configured system. However with a little creativity much is possible.

Let me clear it, so in the boot prompt I have to enter:

Code Sample

mydsl=/dev/hdb1

Where /dev/hdb1 is the place where mydsl directory exist and contains all of mydsl apps.
Am I right?
Thank you Roberts.
May I give suggestion. It would be better and interesting if you allow user to review the source for the cd before mkmydsl make the iso, before knoppix became an image. So user can edit boot logo, boot message, fixing faulty mkmydsl script (line 159 ;) ).
Anyway thank you. Sorry for posting this at this section.

That is not the intention of mkmydsl - see roberts' previous post (last line).

Sorry again. When I boot using" mydsl=hdb1" (where hdb1 is the place of mydsl directory) will the mydsl apps inside it appear in mydsl rightclick menu? or I have to install it? Just make sure. Because, infact, it was not automatically added, gnu-utils, dsl-dpkg, alsadebs, enigma.uci.
Mr. Roberts, I still have this problem.

Code Sample

Enter the worrking directory.(EXAMPLE: /mnt/iso/): /mnt/hdb9
Enter optional boot time options:
Copying DSL image for remastering... Done.
umount: /cdrom2: not mounted
Checking for myDSL apps... Creating mydsl iso... mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory 'KNOPPIX'!
Done.
If you have booted 'toram' or otherwise have access to a cdwriter, then...
Do you wish to proceed to burning the CD ? (y/..) n

What should I do, my Live CD located on cdrom1. boot using "dsl alsa toram mydsl=hdb1 dma"

When in the current mydsl directory, they are loaded upon boot (you can see it in the boot messages). I think if in .../optional they are in the menu.
