Thanks for the info.

Actually, I have never attempted a remaster before and my first attempt will be the similar task of adding a few files to the existing iso, no chroot, etc.

In a few weeks when I have more time available I will give it a try.

Sorry, something I forgot to include in the above;

Don't forget to copy over the .bash_profile from /KNOPPIX (onto your
new /mnt/hda8/source), it's easily missed in a general `cp'ing of the
files.....

As for sticking other things on, it's dead easy now with your script to
see what libraries are also imported when you apt-get some utilities live...
anything that isn't a symbolic link has to go onto your remastering...
no more hunting around. Just check the file list on the Debian site, copy
the files (forget the documentation), and everything new in /usr/lib ('cept
the apt stuff), after a live apt-get with your script and then your new
remastering stays small, damn small.....

Thanks again.

Basic newb query:
I am keen to try the manual install scripts for Rox-filer and Opera (supplied by Chbagger01) and the Synaptic one too.
I can't seem to be able to paste the text from the posts into Nano. I am using Control+C to copy from within Dillo but Control+V doesn't paste the text in. What am I doing wrong please - is there another paste command?

For the 0.6.+ synaptic script Delboy....at

arthur.ph.man.ac.uk/~pc/dsl.html

I've got a copy of cbagger01's script and you can just `save link as'
(and then follow the rest of the chmod and renaming instructions)

Try using the Linux cut and paste functionality:

Go to the first program and highlight all of the text that you wish to copy.
Then go to the second program and press the middle mouse button to Paste in your text.

If you have a 3 button mouse, the middle mouse button is obvious.
If you have a scroll whell mouse, if you push DOWN on the wheel, it will act as a middle mouse button click.
If you have a two button mouse and "3 button emulation" is on, push down on your left and right buttons AT THE SAME TIME to simulate the pressing of the middle button.

Good Luck.
