Hi again johncc!

My internet connection works fine after chrooting so I can install emacs with apt-get as explained.

Have fun remastering and compiling,
meo

Oh, I see! Do you have any idea why chrooting would block the internet connection to just the chrooted session (other xterms, browsers, etc, network still continues to work)? Then when I exit the chroot it works again.

Also, what did you mean by this: "To make the internet connection work right off the bat I now make the whole remastering process in RAM." Looks to me like you're still using /mnt/hda1?

Thanks!
John

Also, in the original procedure what was the purpose of

#mount --bind /dev /mnt/hda3/KNOPPIX/dev
#mount -t proc /proc proc

??

Thank you!
John

Hi again johncc!

Well what I mean is that i do the whole remastering process in the RAM memory. As seen in the HOWTO there is no reference to using a harddrive for the remaster. I only keep files I want to add on hda1 and I used to copy the iso-file to hda1 because there I had my favourite cd-burning program. Now I have k3b in my remaster so the last step is unnecessary for me. And frankly I usually just make a remaster of the KNOPPIX-file now as I use a USB-Drive (Sandisk Titanium 2 GB) to run DSL. That giver me plenty of room for files I want to keep. I have tried to make a remaster in another partition (a long time ago) and then I had problems with the internetconnection. But since I've done the whole thing in the RAM-memory there haven't been any problems of that kind. When it comes to the mount proc part it is clearly stated that I had not tried that type of remastering so I can't tell you so much about it. The last HOWTO is the way I do things and it always works as long as I don't make any typos. I hope this post makes it clear how the Remastering HOWTO is supposed to work.

Keep on having fun with DSL,
meo

Hello Meo,

I sed the method above to add the amsn.dsl and xine.dsl to my latest remaster. Everything seemed to go smooth, except when I rebooted from the new cd the amsn and xine icons on the desktop were not there. the programs were still located in the mydsl menu and run perfectly. do you have any Ideas in regards to the missing Icons?
