Hi!
Yes I know that there is a xmms.dsl file but I would like to get some input on how to recuperate xmms by remastering. Any help is appreciated. Also I have e-mailed John with the suggestion to make blank 50 MB cd-r's available in the DSL-store. Here in Sweden it is impossible to buy that small cd-r's now. I guess that it is the same in many other countries. So I think it could generate some mony for the project. Just a thought!

Have fun Y'all,
meo

meo -

You could place the xmms.dsl file into the /home dir of your remaster environment. Then chroot into your remaster and load the .dsl from the commandline. after you are finished, ctrl-D out of the chroot environment. Just remember to remove the xmms.dsl from the /home. dir. I have done this many times.

I've read the past entries, but I'm still having trouble remastering DSL. So my situation is, I took version 0.8.4, and copied onto my HD (I'm running SuSE 9.1). Then I just add music files, so I don't waste a whole 700MB CD. I copied the music files into a directory, /music/. I made the iso with:
mkisofs -l -r -J -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -o dslc-0.8.4.iso .

Then I try it out. I get an error message saying,
"ISOLINUX 2.04 (Debian, 2003-06-06) isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry...

Boot failed: press a key to retry...
"

How can I fix this?
Thanks

Hi aqeq!

I'm sorry but with the information you give I can't tell what went wrong in your remaster. Perhaps if you give us some more details about what you actually did to remaster; as where you put the files etc, it would make it clearer. Anyway it works just fine to remaster the latest version of DSL. Personally I'm very glad that xmms made a reapperance in this version (0.9.1). Thank you guys!!!

Have fun out there,
meo
