I'm not totally sure any longer about Dameon Tools possibility for editing. I do however have an editor thats very good at preserving unix text file line breaks.

So if i decide to do this make mydsl cd remaster instead... will i have the ability to edit the isolinux.cfg file then, even though the OS has been started from CD?

Can i run that script in textmode, by the way? (The right-click commands can usually be found by reading through the .fluxbox/menu file)

edit: i have read this guide now, and am starting to understand the basic concept i believe.

Yes, it is a text-based script - I think you can just run "mkmydsl"

I've come a bit on the way, i've made my first iso ... yaaay! Hasnt burned it or tested it yet though. I only tried changing some parameters, concentrating on cheat codes.

However. I just thought of maybe trying that user-thing before i burn an image, too. Adding a user "jake" that is.
Now, i am following the guide i have linked to in my last message. The thing is, i do have a jake user set up right now in my DSL running from CD/memory. But if i look in the contents of /etc/shadow , under source.... (check the guide i am regfering to) ... there is no "jake". The shadow file ends with "dsl".

source is just a dir on a harddrive, just like newcd, where i am creating the iso

Wasnt that "source" dir made from the current KNOPPIX filesystem i have in memory?
Or how am i supposed to get the jake user in there?

(I mean, sure, if i look in the shadow file i have in memory now, sure enough there is a jake user, so i could take that file and copy it to source and make a new iso. But is a shadow and a passwd file all i need to set up a user? Dont i need to worry about homedirs and such too?)
