I have hit a little bit of a problem with the remaster that I did as I only managed to fully tested it yesterday. The /etc/uucp area of the system is coming up as read-only even though I ran it to ram. I do not recal it being read-only when I used to have to down load uucp everytime via apt-get before hand.

Is it something that I have done on the remastering?

casio, I don't think it's anything you did.  I've run into things similar to this as well.  When you downloaded uucp from apt-get, it created the directory in RAM so things worked.  Then when you remastered the directory became a symbolic link to the CD to save space.

There is a script that is run to make the system writeable called /etc/init.d/mkwriteable that you can modify to add directories and files you want in RAM.  Check and see if the /etc/uucp directory in your remaster is a symbolic link (does it show up in light blue when you run ls /etc/uucp or with an "l" at the start of its line when you run ls -l /etc/uucp).

If it is a link, what I've done is to remove the link and copy the directory from /KNOPPIX.  If that works then you can modify your remaster's mkwriteable script to include those commands.

Once I have cracked what I want to do I am thinking of writing a script to do this. However I understand that when doing the chroot command the Ctrl+D needs to be done afterwards to come out of this. How would I enter this into the script?

I believe the control D key links to the exit command.  Try using that in your script, although I don't know if that will terminate your script as well.
