Tazlito writeiso problem with /media/cdrom

Hello everybody.

I'm new to slitaz, so be patient if my questions are a bit naive.

I have installed slitaz on my hard disk and tried to create an iso image.

Following the documentation instructions, I mounted the original slitaz .iso to

/media/cdrom with the command:

#mount -o loop slitaz-rolling-core-5in1.iso /media/cdrom

I checked, and the files are there. Then I ran:

#tazlito writeiso lzma

Tazlito created the correct rootfs.gz file in /home/slitaz/distro/rootcd/boot, but the iso is just 32kb, and I got the following error messages:

Keeping current locale/keymap settings...                                                                                  [ Done ]

It seems to me tazlito does not recognize the files mounted on /media/cdrom.

Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Hi amc252,

Seems to me that Tazlito cannot manage multi rootfs ISOs, maybe you should use slitaz-rolling-core.iso or slitaz-rolling-core64.iso.

Hi @Ceel

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried again mounting slitaz-rolling-core64.iso but, unfortunately, got the same result.

Re: Tazlito writeiso problem with /media/cdrom

Just for curiosity, I repeated the process using an older 5.0 iso, slitaz-core-rc2.iso.

This time, everything went fine and tazlito recognized the mounted iso on /media/cdrom, thus producing a bootable iso image.

Baffling.

Of course, I'd like to make it work on the latest rolling iso.
