Hi again!
That was nice to hear mark_internet! The methods of remastering DSL is aumenting. I just did a remaster of DSL 1.3 and I thought I had posted this procedure before but I did a backtrack a few weeks ago and I couldn't find it. Since it is very easy and I've done it the last months using DSL-embedded I thought I'd share it with Y'all so here it comes. Get your DSL-embedded up and running and then do the following:
Mount the partition containing what you want to add
#mount -rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
Create the directories needed
#mkdir source newcd newcd/KNOPPIX
Copy the sources to the right directory
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* source
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/.bash_profile source
Copy the things you want to add to the source directory
(I usually just add some styles and backgrounds I want to have)
#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
Copy the KNOPPIX file found in the newcd directory to where you want it. All you have to do then is to replace the original KNOPPIX file with your own custom made. This way there is no need to make an iso-file and burn it etc. So I guess it's the easiest way of making a remaster manually. Hope this is of any help to someone!
Have fun,
meo
