Verlorenrivets!
Frankly I don't know! But what I do know is that it works beautifully remastering the most recent versions of DSL just in the RAM. There is no hard-drive space needed as long as you have at least 256 MB of RAM and deletes the source-dir before making the final iso-file. I'm posting this from my remaster of the 0.8.4 version of DSL. Here comes the whole RAM-Remaster-HOWTO again:
RAM-Remastering HOWTO for Damn Small Linux
Change the keyboard-layout (unless you have a us keyboard)
$sudo loadkeys se-latin1 (I have a swedish keyboard-layout)
$startx
Mount the partition where you have stored the files you want to add
$sudo su
#mount -rw /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 (Here I have stored files I want to add)
Make the directories needed
#mkdir source
#mkdir newcd
#mkdir newcd/KNOPPIX
Copy necessary files to directory /newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/boot newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/lost+found newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/index.html newcd
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda2/Dokument newcd
Copy the sources to the right directory
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* source
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/.bash_profile source
Go through and copy wanted things to source
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda2/backgrounds source/etc/skel/.fluxbox
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda2/styles/* source/usr/share/fluxbox/styles
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda2/Skins/* source/etc/skel/.xmms/Skins
Create the custom compressed image file:
#mkisofs -R source | create_compressed_fs - 65536 >
newcd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
Then I had to remove the source-dir to gain space and make it work
Create the iso-file as follows:
#mkisofs -no-pad -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b
boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -o mydsl.iso newcd
Copy the iso-file to the partition where you have your favourite cd-burning program
#cp mydsl.iso /mnt/hda1 (Here I have my favourite cd-burning program)
DSL is really an amazing distro. I am constantly surprised by the new versions that keep on coming. I sometimes think that there is nothing that can make it better. But the developers are performning a wonderful work! Thank you for the best distro out there and keep up the good work!
Have fun everybody,
