thanks! that looks like an excellent approach, and one that i missed while reading the init script.
as i reported on the thread http://www.knoppix.net/forum/threads...nt-disk-images i have been successful now with this approach using the knoppix-data.img data files (after mounting the image and "tarring" the contents), but only after removing the "dot-wh-dot" entries first. apparently this approach to the dot-wh-dot entries is not the best way forward however (see above mentioned thread).
while tinkering with this myself i came up with a different approach, which has some benefits and some drawbacks as compared to the "update*.tar.gz" approach:
one drawback to my approach is that it requires a hacked init script (inside minirt.gz).
but once this is in place, the knoppix-data.img files can be used on read-only media without modification.
i have done only basic testing of this patch, but so far it seems to work as prescribed. perhaps someone more knowledgeable will see some problems i have missed. but in case it seems useful to anyone, here are the modifications i made:
sincerely,
proctor
