dslremaster!
Finally I have come around to adress the issue brought up by you. If you make a remaster as outlined below there should be no problems:
Remastering HOWTO for Damn Small Linux
Mount the partition where you have stored the files you want to add
#mount -rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 (Here I have stored files I want to add)
Make the directories needed
#mkdir source newcd newcd/KNOPPIX
Copy necessary files to directory /newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/boot newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/lost+found newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/index.html newcd
Copy the sources to the right directory
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* source
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/.bash_profile source
Go through and copy wanted things to source
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/backgrounds source/etc/skel/.fluxbox
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/styles/* source/usr/share/fluxbox/styles
Create the custom compressed image file:
#mkisofs -R source | create_compressed_fs - 65536 >
newcd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
Remove the source-dir to gain space and make it work
Create the iso-file as follows:
#mkisofs -no-pad -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b
boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -o mydsl.iso newcd
Copy the iso-file to the partition where you have your favourite cd-burning program
#cp mydsl.iso /mnt/hda1 (Here I have my favourite cd-burning program)
It is true that the "backgrounds" directory doesn't exist at the start but doing like this it will be a part of the final compressed image. I followed this procedure last night and I am posting this from the result of that ramaster.
When it comes to using apt-get that is a totally different story. I wrote a HOWTO at the beginning of this thread. It can be found at the first page most probably. I hope that can help you out. Speaking about myself I only do smaller remasters, say up to 210 MB (including an optional directory), so needless to say I don't do my remasters using apt-get. Hope these words are of any use to you.
Have fun Y'all,
meo
