I am not for sure but it may have something to do with the fact that dsl uses busybox instead of the gnu core utilities. (If someone could confirm/deny this I would appreciate it.) You could try installing the following extension to install the gnu core utilities from here:

make sure the partition has been mounted as root.

Code Sample

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1

If you have copied everything to 'source' then just chroot in

Code Sample

chroot source/

Good luck

My guess is that your source/knoppix directory was empty.

I use chroot for remastering. Normally I'll create a /home/dsl/sources directory (because I have enough memory) and copy /KNOPPIX into it. I become root with sudo su and then run the following script to create the directories:

Code Sample

#!/bin/bash
mkdir source
mkdir newcd
mkdir newcd/KNOPPIX
cp -Rp /cdrom/boot newcd
cp -Rp /cdrom/lost+found newcd
cp -p /cdrom/index.html newcd
cp -Rp /KNOPPIX source

Copy any files you need (dpkg.dsl or whatever) into the source/KNOPPIX directory so you can reach them after the chroot command.

Then (still as root) I'll run chroot /source/KNOPPIX and that works for me. When you're done, type <CNTRL>D or type exit to exit the chroot.
