How to Remaster Manually
- copy the existing file system to a working directory, e.g.:
mkdir /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem
cp -a /initrd/pup_ro2/* /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem
- 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.
- 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

"Unlike a frugal install, there is no need to remaster a full install to change what is there, it is changed, good or bad. There is no layering system used, so there is no initrd directory in the root of a full install. The remastering is only needed for convenience, if you plan on transfering the full install to another machine with a live CD."

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

"I do a manual remaster with my settings and whatever DEV tools I need and always run in pfix=ram mode."
