DSL Embedded :: Custom DSL Distro?

I'd like to customize DSL for some embedded computers we have. I'm figuring I have two options.

1. Modify the scripts that build DSL
2. Modify one of the DSL images

I'm fine with option #2 as it seems pretty easy. I see there is the image on the distro "knoppix/knoppix", however it appears to be a shell script and cd image mix. Any tips on how I could mount that locally on a development computer? I tried removing the first couple lines then mounting on a loop back device, but it didn't work too well.

#1 would be cool too though. Can anyone point me to info on the build scripts for DSL?

Look in the "Other Help Topics" forum. There is a remastering howto there, probably on the first page.

It's a cloop image. If you compile cloop for your kernel then you can mount the file with:

Code Sample

modprobe cloop
mount -o loop=/dev/cloop0 /path/to/cloop/image /path/to/mnt/point
