Sorry if I am repeating a question already asked its just that this thread is a tad long .

I have set up DSL in RAM at the moment and have downloaded packages that I need to run uucp. However from the remastering thread it looks as through the areas that are copied do not included the directories that these packages go to for example uucp creates a folder under /etc log files under /var and will install binaries under one of the bin folders.

Please help on how I can achieve this. Also I need to make sure that the X resolution will also work as I will be running these on TFT screens and to get this working at the moment I am having to type dsl vga=788 as I will get a Sync error from the TFT screen relating to resolution 1280x1024.

{edited} - I have tried to follow the re-install ap-get remastering and after editing /etc/apt/sources.list as advised I cannot download postfix or sendmail , I need one of these for uucp to install

Regards

Ignore my previous post as I think I understand that if a program is to be included in the remastered CD then its directories etc are copied to the source dir.

However I have tried 2 methods of remastering but I have had problems with both .One is the mydsl option on the menu and the other is the one listed here on page 11 as I have the latest DSL.

Forget the MyDSl for now as I think I know why, however using this guide I did as it suggested and then found all areas for postfix and uucp copied these to the source dir but on boot up I got a problem when I chose to run toram. It errored reporting a missing filesystem.

Any ideas?

Hello guys!

Sorry I can't help you casio but perhaps someone else can and will. I just wanted to drop a line mentioning that I have made a remaster of DSL-Embedded 2.0RC1 and it works just fine. The only problem I ran in to was that I had to make a new backup tar-ball from scratch. It took a while but now it works just fine.

Have fun Y'all,
meo

Hello again!

I just made a remaster of the real thing, DSL 2.0, and it works like a charm. Unfortunately I don't have time to experiment with a apt-get remaster, so if anyone feels inclined to help out in this it would be very appreciated.

Have fun,
meo
