I am not for sure but it may have something to do with the fact that dsl uses busybox instead of the gnu core utilities. (If someone could confirm/deny this I would appreciate it.) You could try installing the following extension to install the gnu core utilities from here:< http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub....m >

make sure the partition has been mounted as root.| Code Sample |
| mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 |
If you have copied everything to 'source' then just chroot in
| Code Sample |
| chroot source/ |
Good luck

My guess is that your source/knoppix directory was empty.I use chroot for remastering. Normally I'll create a /home/dsl/sources directory (because I have enough memory) and copy /KNOPPIX into it. I become root with sudo su and then run the following script to create the directories:
| Code Sample |
| #!/bin/bash mkdir source mkdir newcd mkdir newcd/KNOPPIX cp -Rp /cdrom/boot newcd cp -Rp /cdrom/lost+found newcd cp -p /cdrom/index.html newcd cp -Rp /KNOPPIX source |
Copy any files you need (dpkg.dsl or whatever) into the source/KNOPPIX directory so you can reach them after the chroot command.
Then (still as root) I'll run chroot /source/KNOPPIX and that works for me. When you're done, type <CNTRL>D or type exit to exit the chroot.

Linux filenames / directorynames are CaSe SeNsiTiVeDoes
source/KNOPPIX work for you?
Also, you can use the TAB key on you keyboard to automatically complete the file path, IE:
cd /mnt/s
and then press TAB and you get
cd /mnt/sda1
Press TAB again and you might get
cd /mnt/sda1/sources
If not, keep pressing the TAB key until the right directory appears. You can help the process by typing in the first few letters of your next directory name before you press TAB.

Just tried the suggested remaster method.when trying to do a simple:
| Code Sample |
cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/boot newcd cp: cannot create symbolic link 'newcd/boot/System.map': Operation not permitted |
Same when doing the rest of the copies
Seems like a permission issue?
I am root when doing this.

Just getting worse.Firstly I had the chroot issue (still unresolved).
2ndly I have the cp issue (with symbolic links not copying)
Now when I tried to create the source/KNOPPIX directory, it creates but when I check with an : ls command it showss up in lower case.
eg knoppix?
Help please....

OK, here we go. Quick Knoppix remastering howto.Spin up the DSL CD
Pick a partition to remaster from. I will choose sda1 as that is in your first post
| Code Sample |
| mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda1 |
now, as root, do the following commands
| Code Sample |
| mkdir /mnt/sda1/source |
| Code Sample |
| mkdir /mnt/sda1/newcd/KNOPPIX |
| Code Sample |
| cp -Rp /cdrom/boot /mnt/sda1/newcd |
Copy the FS over to /mnt/sda1/source
| Code Sample |
| cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/sda1/source |
| Code Sample |
| cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/.bash_profile /mnt/sda1/source |
Now your remaster environment is set.
Now these commands, as root
| Code Sample |
| cd /mnt/sda1 |
| Code Sample |
| chroot source |
Now you are in the remastering environment. when you are done type 'exit' at the command prompt.
There are many ways to remaster Knoppix and many other steps to utilize depending on what you're doing. This is a simple way to setup the environment and chroot into it.

Solved the permission, symlink and most importantly the chroot issue...Thanks to:
- Clacker
- Cbagger01
- Clivesay
for you info, which got me thinking about each step.
In particular the case sensitive statement.
Basically the solution is that you need to create an ext2 filesystem
I guess you guys may have already known this and it was just implied.
I had a dos fat filesystem
When i did a mk2efs on the filesystem and eveything started to copy fine.
This statement needs to be in the FAQ or Remastering doc....
The next step I will be asking is
- compiling new application in the environment.
- booting into the new environment to test
Anyone have any tips?
thanks
Simon
