Hello-

I've searched the forums and I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I have a HD install of DSL. I've acquired all the apps I want and tweaked Fluxbox to my liking. At this point I would like to remaster DSL so I can have all of my apps, setting, etc on my own live CD. I don't care about size.
How do I go about doing this? I figure that this CD would also serve as a system backup should I ever need to reinstall DSL. Thanks for any help.

You have probably seen < Meo's remaster post >

There is a part where the Knoppix is mounted:

#mount --bind /dev /mnt/hda3/KNOPPIX/dev

When you have it mounted just copy your directories to it and see if it works. When I did a remaster I only copied a few icons and backgrounds into /etc and they show up. I don't know if that will work for you.
