After booting from remastered CD the disk just booted from is not shown within any of the file manager applications (only occurs when choosing copy to ram option).
Historic posts show a work round by manually ejecting the CD using the 'eject' command from the shell. When using this method any new CD inserted into the drive is not registered so does not show in the file manager.
To fix the problem one of the lines in the 'linuxrc' script (found in the '/usr/share/mylivecd' directory) needs to be moved.
In the extract below I have highlighted the line that need to be moved with '##### Move this line from here --->'
and shown the new location with '####### <------ To this new position ######'
Extract of the relevant portion of the file shown below for clarity:
else
## Yes, we got it!
# do we want copy2ram?
toram=`grep -iq copy2ram /proc/cmdline && echo 1`
if [ -n "$toram" ]; then
RAMDIR="/initrd/livecd.ram"
mkdir -p $RAMDIR
# make sure we have enough room for the image
IMAGESIZE=`ls -l $MNTCDROM/livecd.sqfs | awk '{print $5+1000000}'`
mount -t tmpfs -o "size=$IMAGESIZE" tmpfs $RAMDIR
if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then
# copy the livecd.sqfs image to a tmpfs directory to be used as the new MNTCDROM
echo -n
echo -n " Copying to memory, please stand by..."
cp -R $MNTCDROM/livecd.sqfs $RAMDIR
if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then
printok
# free the boot device
umount $MNTLIVECD
##### Move this line from here ---> umount $MNTCDROM
# and use our new directory as the new MNTLIVECD
`losetup -d $DEVLOOP 2>&1 >/dev/null`
losetup $DEVLOOP $RAMDIR/livecd.sqfs
mount -r -t squashfs $DEVLOOP $MNTLIVECD
rm -rf /initrd/sbin/halt.local
umount $MNTCDROM ####### <------ To this new position ######
else
`umount $RAMDIR 2>&1 >/dev/null`
echo -n "copy 2 ram was unsuccesfull"
printfail
fi
else
`umount $RAMDIR 2>&1 >/dev/null`
echo -n "the iso is larger than the available ram"
printfail
fi
fi
(The version control identifier of the script amended is '$Id: linuxrc.in,v 0.9.0 2010/02/24 03:33:00 texstar Exp $', if the version of the script you have is different your mileage may vary).
Make the change then remaster your CD. Now when booted of the newly remastered CD when you open a file manager the CD is shown and can be ejected using the GUI. Any new CD inserted is also registered and shows within the file manager.
