    I'd like to clarify again, that as long as the squashfs matches the CD tree I shouldn't have to recreate my rootfs. What I've been doing is when I want to make a new ISO just delete my old squashfs file in the CD tree and recreate the squashfs

    Its worked quite well, its ok everyone makes mistakes

    Thanks for your help!

    Re: How to make a live CD/DVD from your harddisk installation

    Sometimes when I build the CD and run it in QEMU or VirtualBox, I end up at the initramfs/busybox prompt.
    The /casper.log (in QEMU) reads:
    Code:
    Begin: Running /scripts/casper-premount ...
    Done.
    Done.
    mount: Mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument
    Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs

    I have not tested it on Intrepid. I don't plan to test it on Intrepid untill it is officially released. But you can refer to post number 143 on this thread on the modifications required to get this working under Intrepid.

    ok I figured it out on my own to discover that.. (funny enough) the package discover1 isn't in intrepid..

    so does this mean I use the package discover instead?

    Yes it should work fine with discover. Also note that you do not need to install the package linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) anymore as it is now part of the main kernel package in intrepid.

    Thanks for the reply, I wasn't sure about discover, I already did know about the linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) though.

    So linux-ubuntu-modules-$(uname -r) is only needed for the host system (gutsy or hardy), for creating any kind of LiveCD?

    and

    So linux-headers-(uname -r) is only needed for the host system (intrepid) for creating any kind of LiveCD?

    The reason why I was asking is because I'm making some scripts that I've made to make life easier and needed to know.

    If you're interested... they're a little crude but they do get the job done!

    They are required for both the host and the target (only in gutsy and hardy). They are required in the host to be able to create a squahsfs image. And they are required in the target to be able to mount the squashfs and the unionfs.

    linux-headers-(uname -r) is not really required. You can put it if you want it as part of your system though.

    Intersting idea. I thought about making a script for the whole procedure, but I decided against it because I thought chrooting and installing packages would be better done interactively to react to any problems that might arise. Also there is a script that does a similar thing to this guide called remastersys. You can check the link for the script in the first post in this thread.
