Now I am trying to do the same with grml64-small, which proves to be quite a challenge. I am no longer able to mount the file with the root filing system... squashfs doesn't recognise it even though the name suggests its a squashfs filing system in a file (live/grml64-small.squashfs).
I had the same problem but figured out, that grml 2008.11 uses a new patched version of squashfs with lzma support. I had to build this stuff by hand for CentOS: http://www.squashfs-lzma.org/
Maybe someone should put an hint on this on a prominent position to the website!
http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=remastering http://grml.org/grml-live/#current_state
I hope that's prominent enough, if not please suggest where it could be mentioned as well.
Then I was able to do "unsquashfs" the image to a directory.
Only the repackaging still troubles me a bit as the resulting image is significant bigger than the original :(
grml-live does the magic. Check out: http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=tree;f=etc/grml/fai/config/scripts/GR... and especially: http://git.grml.org/?p=grml-live.git;a=tree;f=etc/grml/fai/grml;hb=HEAD
