If you get it working, send me a private message with the steps you took. I'd like to take another shot at remastering, but the developers don't want users to do it, so it's difficult to find up-to-date information. There's still a how-to in the wiki, but it's confusing (maybe on purpose?).

Vinnie, let me rephrase my statement before we create a fuss: They don't encourage users to do it, and they don't help them if they do it anyway. If you manage to do it on your own, it's fine.

Two things:
1. mzilikazi's advice to apt-get kanotix-toolkit looks very promising. You should download it and analyze the scripts. At least I will do so over the weekend.
2. When you chroot, do you have internet access to apt-get update && apt-get install?

2. When you chroot, do you have internet access to apt-get update && apt-get install?

And - before a misleading myth is started here - nobody here will stop you re-mastering, Kanotix is open source after all. However, you should understand why we don't encourage and support it:

1) Re-mastering a fine tuned Linux distribution is definitely not trivial, and this is specially true for Kanotix. If other distributions encourage you to do so - that's fine. However, most howtos I have seen on the net are not complete or even false, and will not work with Kanotix.

2) Kano & team are very careful with selecting and configuring a stable combination of drivers, kernel and applications. If some driver or application is not included by default, there is almost always a very good reason.

3) We strive hard with a growing team of volunteers to give fast and high class support in our FAQ, the Manuals, this Forum and the IRC. That's hard enough with stock Kanotix - but would become impossible if people expect us to support their re-mastering adventures.

4) If you finally managed to successfully create your personal re-master, the only person profiting is you. If you instead contribute and share possible improvements with us and work with us on integrating them into Kanotix, you are giving something back to the Kanotix community. That way you might help making Kanotix better - and not just your personal re-master. After all, that's the core of free and open source software - right?

5) If you have commercial needs for a re-mastered Kanotix (and those usually are the only situations where a re-master really is the best solution to a problem), you should contact Kano directly.

Greetings,
Chris

Unfortunately, the iso file of Easter-RC4 already has 670 megabytes, so there isn't much space left on the cd. You could nevertheless try to create config.tbz and home.img files with the live cd and place them in the root directory of the new iso file, then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add cheat codes "home=scan myconfig=scan". I haven't tried it myself, but this may give you the "one cd solution" that you're looking for.
