When I run following command
# mkisofs -no-pad -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 32 -boot-info-table -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -o lpi101 /dsl/newcd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

I got the following error message
"mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot catalog directory 'boot/isolinux' "

Do you have a /newcd/boot/isolinux folder with the boot files?

yes

I am not sure if it matters or not, but I notice in your post that your iso name is lpi101 and not lpi101.iso.

Other than that, I am not sure why mkisofs is being uncooperative.

drx456, you need to change

/dsl/newcd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

to

/dsl/newcd

The way you had it, mkisofs is making an iso of the KNOPPIX directory, not the newcd directory which is what you wanted.

Here is what I use to remaster DSL 0.8.2
---
First:
mkisofs -R /mnt/hdb5/KNOPPIX | create_compressed_fs - 65536 > /mnt/hdb5/NewCD/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
---
Then, when that is finished, takes several minutes, CD to NewCD, and make the iso:
mkisofs -o RR_0.2.5_B009.iso -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -l -R /mnt/hdb5/NewCD
---
put these commands all on one line, in a root terminal.
In the making the iso one, that is a lower case "L" in "-l -R".
---
I use these repeatedly, as I make changes to the master, which as you
can see is in /mnt/hdb5.
I also have one in hdb6, and if I go to far, and have to start over, then
I copy the last best one into a partition with:
(mount /cdrom first), then:
cp -Rp /KNOPPIX /mnt/hdb6
That will take a short while, several minutes on my box.
---
Swapping back and forth with two partitions lets you copy the good stuff ofver to the new one that you are working on. Sometimes you might have a nice file somewhere that you want to use again. With me, it
usually ends up being /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu
