The Feather method is slightly different. You are doing some copying that I don't have to do.

The important thing is that we both end up with a new liveCD! Now I know how to remaster DSL too!

Glad I could help.

Take care

Chris

Geez, clacker, lighten up, it's not like I singled you out or something.
I'm ready to help anyone who is willing to help themselves first by doing a very basic search of the forum for an answer.

But I have no time for someone that jumps in demanding an answer when their problem has been addressed many times already. I'm not saying you did.
Granted, remastering 0.8.0 is different in some respects but it's not that different and it's not a whole new ball game.

To me the main attraction of Linux is the ability to get into the system and find out why something does'nt work and make the damn thing work.
I don't recall seeing anyone called stupid or incompetent in this forum, as a matter of fact I've gone after people who give a smart ass answer to someone with a problem or joke about it instead of trying to help.

Actually my reply had little to do with you or your post, it was for those that like to grab a free system then bitch and whine because it does'nt work like the OS they're used to. The key word here is FREE, how can someone assume someone else should give of their time to provide an excellent OS and then complain because it is'nt exactly what they want. It does'nt have GCC, it does'nt have make or a GUI for this or that. And it don't have Winmodem drivers.

I hope this is'nt taken as arrogance, it's not meant to be, I'm a newbie myself.
Then again, I am arrogant enough to not give a rat's ass how it's taken.But when I have a problem, I search first then ask. And whenever possible I try to give back to the community.

Roadie, Wow, First off, I do search the forums, and many posts I make are somewhat helpful, why you would post someting such as the last 2 posts of yours(in this topic) were unnecessary, people do "help" themselves, even if they didn't you could Help them, then make your comment about searching the forum,

As you can read, Remastering DSL 8.0 is not a well known topic. k thanks.

Thank you everyone who made an effort, and John, Wow...you can smile at me, thats it?! Just Playin. Clive, I espically thank you for all the help, and i'm glad this is now out and will soon be well known

I had a problem booting from a CD after using

#mkisofs -no-pad -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 ...

but changing the -boot-load-size from 4 to 32 solved it
