How to remaster Puppy Linux manually

• copy the existing file system to a working directory, e.g.:

  mkdir /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem

  cp -a  /initrd/pup_ro2/* /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem

• (optional, but recommended) modify the contents of the working directory to one's requirements by inspecting the contents of the pup_save file, either /initrd/pup_rw for pupmode 12 or /initrd/pup_ro1 for pupmode 13; and then copy from there the directories /root, /usr and /var:

  cat /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE

• create the SFS file of the modified file system, e.g.:

  mkdir /mnt/home/puppylivediscbuild

  cd /mnt/home

  mksquashfs puppyfilesystem puppylivediscbuild/puppy-remastered.sfs -noappend

• (optional) copy any necessary files to /mnt/home/puppylivediscbuild from the original optical disc and create the ISO file:

  cd /mnt/home

  mkisofs -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -D -l -R -v -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o "puppy_remaster.iso" puppylivediscbuild

• (optional) livedvd write (burn) the ISO file to optical disc
