Hello. I'd like to put Knoppix on a rewritable CD so I'd be able to upgrade (and even change it) without wasting the CD -- but the image is too bug (700 Mb will fit on my CD-Rs, but not on my CD-RW disks).
So I thought I would mount the compressed image, chroot into it, and use dpkg to change it... But since it's an iso9660 filesystem, it cannot be mounted RW. So I tried this: # Mount the Knoppix iso as downloaded, on dir "work": sudo losetup /dev/loop0 `pwd`/KNOPPIX_V3.1-23-10-2002-EN.iso sudo mount /dev/loop0 work # Go to the cloop image inside "work/KNOPPIX", and mount # it on /mnt/cloop sudo modprobe cloop file=`pwd`/work/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX sudo mount -o r /dev/cloop /mnt/cloop And then I try to copy the whole tree from /mnt/cloop to some directory (./temp , for example), but the process usually goes to some point and then stalls, waiting for IO (ps shows a "D" flag for it). I've tried "cp -a" and "cp -dpRPv". So... Is there an easy way to do what I'm trying to do? it'd be nice to have a Debian-based-pocket-Linux-system! :-) Thanks!
