10 AristotlePagaltzis 1 !! [Ext3] FileSystem~s
5 StuartYeates 2
10 AristotlePagaltzis 3 [Knoppix] 3.1 creates [Ext3] FileSystem~s with an extra option which fsck(8) on [Debian] [Woody] does not support. This prevents [Woody] from booting. You can fix this by issuing <tt>tune2fs -O ^dir_index ''device''</tt> after creating the FileSystem.

10 AristotlePagaltzis 5 !! Swapping
1 MattBrown 6
10 AristotlePagaltzis 7 [Knoppix] should automagically find an existing swap [Partition] on boot and use it. This will make the whole system much faster (remember that it has no real disk, only RamDisk by default). Alternatively you can set up a file called <tt>swapfile</tt> in the root directory of any non-[NTFS] partition and [Knoppix] will use that as a swap file.

17 !! Remastering 4.0 Notes:
18
19 * If chrooting into the new customisation fails with many "bash: /dev/null: Permission denied" errors, the problem is that the partition you're working in has been mounted with the wrong args in the host, you need the ... -o dev ... option. This has changed from the 3.x series.
12 StuartYeates 20
21 * If the CD image is much larger than you expected, the problem is likely to be that you've forgotten to "umount /proc" before you leave the chroot, and so the image contains random chunks of RAM.
