operating systems

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

"Fluppy has 2 remaster apps. One for cd remaster and one (based on dougals script) for full installs." more info
