I remastered Knoppix dozens of times in the past, even creating or modifying scripts to make it easier. For my latest Rescue & Recovery Live CD though, I wanted to start with something lighter than Knoppix and add what I wanted,rather than remove what I didn’t. I based it on Ubuntu Live CD From Scratch:

I hate blaming things automatically on 64-bit systems, but to be honest, that’s the first thing I’d check.

Just wondering, I was using an AMD64 system. Wonder if that could be an issue. I am going to try this one next: I am going to try this one next - from system rescue disk

That’s odd. I’ve tried it twice now and it worked fine each time.

No luck – command stops at 93% complete at this step (twice now).

‘sudo mksquashfs ${WORK}/rootfs ${CD}/${FS_DIR}/filesystem.${FORMAT}’

It’s been that disgustingly easy to remaster a PCLinuxOS installation since 2003 thanks to the mklivecd project. Using the remasterme command is simple and now that the community has chipped in to make a GUI to remaster things, those afraid of the command line can now take part in the fun.

It’s good that Ubuntu is finally catching up though…albeit, 6 years late.
