Unless you need to modify the boot files, there's no manual work to be done there. The master diretory will be the one you eventually turn into a disk image for burning. I didn't keep an original directory around, but it would contain the untouched source operating system files, in case you wanted to start over again from scratch, which I have had to do.Īs I explained earlier, I was unable to use the cloop utilities (included in DSL) to extract the compressed portion of the CD, so I resorted to straight copying from a boot from CD. After setting up a host operating system, create a directory structure like: I gave general details on setting up a remastering environment through Virtual PC in a previous post. I'm not clear on why they didn't just make use of apt here.

Systems like rpm or myDSL that require me to hunt down a package online and explicitly download and install it myself are not worth my time. My personal preference is for apt for package management. This is vaguely billed as the way to adapt DSL, but it has little to do with and no explanation for the process. There is a component of DSL called myDSL that is supposedly an easy way to extend the operating system, by dropping a myDSL package into the correct folder, etc. There is an unfortunate lack of links from the DSL site to what precisely remastering entails while the OS allows you to burn itself to a CD after futzing around, this option requires using cdrecord, which I wasn't going to do through a virtual machine, very likely a recipe for coasters. of Waterloo was invaluable and is essentially the framework I'll end up repeating, with some riffs, in particular, for remastering DSL while using DSL as the host OS.
