hi,

i would like to make a dvd which contains my customizations, in the spirit of kyle rankin's "Remaster Knoppix without Remastering"

his article was written in the era if 5.1 and i have been unsuccessful in finding a way to do this with the 6.x series.

what i have tried is using the "persistent" feature to install to a usb stick, and then try to move the resulting "knoppix-data.img" file to the KNOPPIX folder of the cd and use it from there. but when i then try to boot with this image unionfs fails.

i get:

Code:
Using /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/knoppix-data.img
mount: mounting unionfs on /UNIONFS failed: Invalid argument
/init: line 693: /bin/mount: not found
/init: exec: line 742: /sbin/init: not found
i am guessing that this might be because it wants the knoppix-data.img file to reside on a writable media, but i am not sure....

so, have we lost the ability to "remaster without remastering" or is there a smarter way to get persistent changes onto a dvd/cd without going through the "official" remastering process?

sincerely,
proctor
