I built a script that should enable you to remaster a grml from the live cd like this:
[...]
Unfortunately, the build CD does not boot and drops me into busybox. But I guess this is only a bug in the mkisofs line, since the filesystem layout looks fine for me. And it is quite time consuming to test it within grml-small and installing mksquashfs and mkisofs after every reboot.
mika: can you look if you find the bug? and if you found it, can you include it into next grml? It is very useful to be able to remaster grml on virtually any PC without having to repartition anything first.
Just tested it: the problem is that when using your script the filenames on the ISO are limited to 8 characters, resulting in a "/live/grml.squ"-file instead of "/live/grml.squashfs". :) So the fix is as easy as adding "-l -r -J" to the mkisofs cmdline.
Now we should just add some more error handling to the script (make the script re-executable when building fails, check for tools/RAM/...), then we could already ship it with the upcoming release. I really love the script! YMMD :)
