I noticed that the apps I checked (dillo and a naim) were compiled for i386. I need to compile the programs I'm adding for i386 (on my i686). Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I'm searching now, but I figured someone here could tell me or point me in the right direction.

I just want to mention that I have made a remaster of the 0.7.1 version and it works very well. I have added 10 themes for fluxbox and some docs that I want to have at hand at all times ("wherever I lay my hat is my home"). The new functions makes it very easy to take with you the extensions you like wherever you go! Thanks for a really good work!

Have fun everyone,

I want to add my script to /etc/ppp/peers on a remastered cd. So am I right to add it to the /source directory as "/mnt/hda3/source/etc/ppp/peers/myscript" per the example given in this forum?

Dear rlwrenn it seems to be just the right way to get your script where you want it, so give it a shot and I think it will all turn out well!

Have fun guys,

I just completed a remaster of DSL 0.7.3 and I had to make some changes to make it work. Here is the complete procedure i use:

Remastering HOWTO for Damn Small Linux

Change the keyboard-layout (unless you have a us-keyboard)

$sudo loadkeys se-latin1
$startx

Format the partition with the ext2 filesystem

$sudo mke2fs /dev/hda3

Become root and mount the right partition

$sudo su
#mount -rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
#mount -rw /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3

Make the directories needed

#mkdir /mnt/hda3/source
#mkdir /mnt/hda3/newcd
#mkdir /mnt/hda3/newcd/KNOPPIX

Copy necessary files to directory /newcd

#cp -Rp /cdrom/autorun.bat /mnt/hda3/newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/autorun.inf /mnt/hda3/newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/index.html /mnt/hda3/newcd

Copy files to directory /newcd/KNOPPIX

#cp -Rp /cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.cat /mnt/hda3/newcd/KNOPPIX
#cp -Rp /cdrom/KNOPPIX/boot.img /mnt/hda3/newcd/KNOPPIX

Copy the sources to the right directory

#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hda3/source
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/.bash_profile /mnt/hda3/source

Go through and copy wanted things to /mnt/hda3/source

#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/Docs/* /mnt/hda3/source/home/dsl
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/styles/* /mnt/hda3/source/usr/share/fluxbox/styles

Create the custom compressed image file:

#mkisofs -R /mnt/hda3/source | create_compressed_fs - 65536 >
/mnt/hda3/newcd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

Create the iso-file as follows:

#cd /mnt/hda3
#mkisofs -r -J -b KNOPPIX/boot.img -c KNOPPIX/boot.cat -o mydsl.iso newcd

Copy the iso-file to the first partition on your harddrive

#cp /mnt/hda3/mydsl.iso /mnt/hda1

This way it works like a charm. I also want to take the opportunity to thank you guys that work constantly with DSL for such a fine work. There are so few people that want to make good things for others today without getting paid for it. So keep up your excellent work!

Have fun everybody,
meo
