grml, yeah, good choice. > what other files and directories can I leave out of the squashfs to > make the whole thing a bit smaller? >From my personal archive: A 'clean-up' script called 'remaster-clean' will be included with this how-to. It is based on the original script by Klaus Knopper but modifications by several users have been incorporated as well as comments to help the neophyte understand what it is doing. It does not restore all config files to default values nor does it remove /home/knoppix. I have set it up this way because it leaves the HD install which I am using as a source intact after making the remaster. WARNING: This script has been successfully tested but as usual there are no guarantees it will work on your system. It should give slightly smaller file size than the basic cleanup outlined above since it removed expanded manpage files, etc. but be prepared for possible problems. retrieved from http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Remaster_From_Hd_Install_HowTo less than a year ago. check out the rest there. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sf.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sf.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
