need help add to /opt in remaster

<< < (2/2)

tinypoodle:
You could have mentioned that from the start...
Forget about comparing checksums then.

katzohki:
I apologize. I really did try my best to include all information about the project, but I still missed that detail.

I do have more information though. In the .iso, under /boot the core.gz is a different file size than the standard build. That, I think, is expected because that is where the packed files are stored. Examining it with 7zip however, shows a "Data error in 'boot\core.gz'. File is broken" error.

Edit: There's more...
With the working version that I remastered to have bash and nano, there is only a boot/core.gz/core file, but with the build downloaded from the site (TinyCore-current) there is /boot/core.gz/core.cpio with all the /bin /dev /etc /opt (etc) directories that you would expect.

tinypoodle:
Have you excluded that to be more of a 7z issue of treating cpio  archives with a filename ending in *.cpio different than without?

katzohki:
I don't know about 7zip. I tried renaming it a few different ways and it either caused a kernel panic or a "/boot/core.gz not found" error.

But anyway... I think I solved my own question. What I did was load up a new instance of TinyCore-current and then make changes to the /opt folder like I needed. Then I saved as mybackup.tgz and when remastering via ezremaster choose this archive where it asks for it. That worked, but I ended up having to boot my script later from /root/.profile, so I backed up that file instead.

So thanks for the help guys!
