ok, this is what i did:
from my dsl hd-install:
1. inserted and mounted a dsl cd
2. found the knoppix file
3. did a grep on the mydsl-install file to find out how it mounted uci extensions.
4. did this to the knoppix fs
5. mkdir /remaster/
6. cp -R * /remaster/
7. copied dsl-dpkg.dsl to the home dir in the remaster directory
8. did an mydsl-install on it (note: mydsl-load does not work without x running for some reason.
9. chroot /remaster/
10. dpkg -l
11. noted down the names on unneccessary packages
12. did dpkg --purge on these (removes conf files as well as other stuff)
13. i plan to install LAMP on it
note: i had to remove x in order to make the required space avaliable for LAMP, i will hopefully add an easy to use console admin program.
i am going to compile apache, mysql and php myself and cut them down as much as possible without losing functionability.
i am going to remove some of the couple of different shells dsl has, as we only really need bash.
i am removing perl for the time being although if possible i will install it again if there is space.
see my previous posts for details of my plans (note: am no longer using X or tcl as there is no space, all utilities will be written as shell scripts or compiled c applications (will make source avaliable).
i am removing pcmcia and wlan support as i don't see anyone being likely to run a webserver from a laptop or over wavelan.
i am having trouble removing fluxbox and a couple of other apps, they seem to have dodgy pre-remove scripts, maybe i can fix them? has anyone had any luck removing fluxbox from their remasters?
once i have everything installed i will make the knoppix file and test, then remove more stuff to save space if neccessary (will remove documentation when i install the applications).
also: i plan to add various tutorials on php and mysql.
i may decide to remove vim as we have nano and nano is much easier to use.
i intend to keep sshd, although i might have to replace it with a cut and locked down telnetd.
feel free to post opinions.
