Stoneguy!
OK first things first. I would think that you can use a linux partition thar you already have. It should be in ext2 fs (linux native) but maybe it will work with ext3 to. When it comes to copying the mydsl.iso to hda1 yuo're quite right, it's to be able to use my cd-burning program on hda1 (windows). I haven't had any luck with burning under DSL so the easiest way is to copy it to hda1. About the modules I can just tell you what I do. I put modules I want to be able to load from the mydsl-menu in the root of the cd. Modules I want to have handy i put in the options directory. I personally prefer the uci files when available since they seem to consume less ram. OK hope this was of any help to you.
Here comes the new remaster HOWTO for the 0.8.2 DSL!
Remastering & Mkmydsl HOWTO for DSL
Change the keyboard-layout (unless you have a us keyboard)
$sudo loadkeys se-latin1 (I have a swedish keyboard-layout)
$startx
Format the partition with the ext2 filesystem
$sudo mke2fs /dev/hda3
Become root and mount the right partition
$sudo su
#mount -rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
#mount -rw /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3
Make the directories needed
#mkdir /mnt/hda3/source
#mkdir /mnt/hda3/newcd
#mkdir /mnt/hda3/newcd/KNOPPIX
Copy necessary files to directory /newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/boot /mnt/hda3/newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/lost+found /mnt/hda3/newcd
#cp -Rp /cdrom/index.html /mnt/hda3/newcd
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/Dokument /mnt/hda3/newcd (Docs I want on my disc)
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/optional /mnt/hda3/newcd (The ?optional? directory)
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/Bootload/* /mnt/hda3/newcd (Modules I want to load at boottime)
Copy the sources to the right directory
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hda3/source
#cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/.bash_profile /mnt/hda3/source
Go through and copy wanted things to /mnt/hda3/source
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/backgrounds/ /mnt/hda3/source/etc/skel/.fluxbox
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/styles/* /mnt/hda3/source/usr/share/fluxbox/styles
#cp -Rp /mnt/hda1/Skins/* /mnt/hda3/source/etc/skel/.xmms/Skins
Create the custom compressed image file:
#mkisofs -R /mnt/hda3/source | create_compressed_fs - 65536 >
/mnt/hda3/newcd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
Create the iso-file as follows:
#cd /mnt/hda3
#mkisofs -no-pad -l -r -J -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -b boot/isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/isolinux/boot.cat -hide-rr-moved -o mydsl.iso newcd
Copy the iso-file to the first partition on your harddrive
#cp /mnt/hda3/mydsl.iso /mnt/hda1
Finally just a note why I have made some changes. It just wasn't working to do the remaster the same way with the 0.8.2 version as the 0.8.1.1 version. I don't know why, i just work by the trial and error method and finally it worked.
Have fun everybody,
meo
