Discuss away.
Kanotix is so close to knoppix that any information for knoppix is also relevant to kanotix & visa versa. There are regular users of this forum who actually use kanotix, some have made remasters. |

Unfortunately you cannot use the knoppix remaster program for remastering the kanotix cd. I tried once, before I could find any info on it. I too would like to know how to do this. I think you have to do the manual style of remastering with Kanotix. I haven't had the time to give it a try. I want to add the Windows password reset program at boot that comes on the Austrumi live cd.

With the help of the normal documentation, the knoppix script, the german forum at Kanotix (with help of babel fish translator) and a few days of research and testing ... I finally got it to work
Will post the details later. I was attempting to make a cd less than 185mb and boot it off my USB drive with the actual kanotix iso file in it. Works! About 10 sec after booting, I can take the cd out and it continues to run off my USB. Full features of the original ISO. Kanotix is really wonderful |

| Grubby Issue :? |

Hello all,
I too am using Kanotix (kernel 2.6.9-kanotix8 fix2) in preference to Knoppix (3-7) as it has better hw support. Also I would like to remaster soon but waiting for ALL kde packages to go 3.3.2 version onwards (nearly there!). Will be attempting soon... Now, to my point. As Kanotix uses Grub, can anyone tell if the following would be correct:- Copy from live cd :- /cdrom/boot/grub (folders/directories)** to /mnt/hdxx/knx/source/master/KNOPPIX/ Before remastering, change your boot preferences in grub menu txt file when copied to .../master/KNOPPIX. ** note: /cdrom folder is empty in chroot (source copy) when viewing (ie Konqueror). Asking in advance, Winslayer. |

The two scripts I include here are cut down versions of what I'm using to make ParallelKnoppix, starting with Kanotix Easter edition. The full versions will be on the next release of PK, when it comes out.
The first copies the CD contents to HD. It needs to be run while you have Kanotix booted up. The second makes the ISO image, and can be run from Kanotix, or from your normal distro. You will need to edit the second script to specify the mount point of the partition to which you copied the source (in my case, "/misc", replace with whatever is appropriate). You need to have mksquashfs available to actually make the compressed filesystem. That won't be a problem if you do this while running Kanotix.
The second script follows:
