Thanks everyone for a great (albiet, long) thread about DSL remastering.
I was also having the same deal with the 'knoppix file system not found' message, been reading around here a little bit, and read something about not being able to compile the file system on a FAT32 HD.
So, does this mean if I only have 128 MB RAM and only one HD partition (and that has window$ on it) that I won't be able to add anything to DSL unless I want it to run off the HD?

Is this 1 line?

Why does newcd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX break off after >?

Do I press enter after '>'?

Jason!

You have the possibility to make a remaster off a zip-drive or a usb-drive. I have done it. If you look a little further in this thread you will find that. But I think though that you must have a swap-partition to make it work.

lala!

Yes everything in the quote should be on one line. The break is there just because the whole command won't fit on one line.

Have fun Y'all out there wherever You are,

meo,

I noticed that on your post on page 32 (April 26,2005 9:21)

Quote

#mkisofs –R /mnt/hda3/source | create_compressed_fs 65536 >

There seems to be a "-" ,missing between the "create_compressed_fs" and "65536" entries.

That was just a typo right? Didn't see any correction after that post and all your previous remaster howto's seem to have it in there.

Been making updated Windows-side "autoplay" menu / DSL side boot cd remasters. Going just fine. I like to add in GFTP instead of the original ftp program included. Seems to work better on our network for logins and server filestructure display as well as the usual background image tweaks and a customized verision of the html file that Dillo displays at desktop.

Appreciate all the work you are putting in! You are doing a wonderful job keeping us learning and using DSL.
