Many people here are adept at remastering the DSL iso to
include the .dsl's in the root of the cd.... I am not yet.....
I simply burn the iso image to a cdr in multisession format,
leaving the cd "open" for another session..
After the iso burn is complete, I burn another session with
the .dsl files added to the root directory..
Then, I can run completely from CD, with all my .dsl files
on the CD.. It burns so quickly to a cdrw, that it's easy to
make additions, and reburn as neccessary.
Seems like one could take a frugal install partition, unpack it,
modify some files on it, repack it back into the "knoppix" image,
and write an .iso image from it, including the bootcat/bootimg
files to make it bootable, with the correct command lines...
I've recently "dsl'ed" several games and I am working on a
few more for some "ham radio" packages. Logging, packet,
and so forth... Creating .dsl's makes it so easy to edit, modify,
and share with other DSL enthusiasts...
The "mydsl" package does not work from a HD install yet.
I'm sure "someone" is working on making it happen...
Since the .dsl files are simply directories and files
tarred and zipped, can you open them at /, and
permamently install them to a HD install ??
I have yet to try this myself., but I see groups of files in
3 or 4 directories that already exist on a HD install of DSL..
I bounce back and forth between a HD install, a frugal install
on a HD, and the liveCD, using the LiveCD to edit the root
of the frugal install ( it's read-only when you run from it. )
I always seem to "mess up" my HDinstall, by doing things
one probably shouldn't do to an OS like DSL... Once I have
things looking and running the way I like, running from the CD
is my fav.... Just boot from the disk, and it's all there, no matter
what computer I'm on !!!
