Ok I am having issues. I can not figure otu where i am messing up.

I am working on building my owen os based on TheeMahns work. But i tried to get my network connection into the virtual environment. I get errors. Right after these lines :

mount -t squashfs -o loop mnt/casper/filesystem.squashfs squashfs
cp -a squashfs/* edit/

I add the following:
cp /etc/resolv.conf edit/etc

error cp can not make regular files......this is the eroor i have been getting. I am wondering if it is do to being at su level????

I get cp cant create regular files. If any one can point me in the correct direction I would greatly appreciate it. I am learning a lot from doing this project. Thank You to the Ultimate Team!!!!

Agree with Pam, need the exact error message you are getting. Also, since I have been messing with building my own, figured I would toss my two cents in and maybe will add up to a nickel! Now, if you are following TheeMahn's script to the letter, can just continue on as it says. If you are going to deviate and want to keep track of many files, may want to use Ubuntu Builder. I have been using that on all the builds I have made since I can easily go into synaptic and insure I have installed different files, really helps out. See, TheeMahn has been building for a very long time! Very brilliant and smart, also many many more years and education, dedication and sheer ingenuity with all this! That is why I say if you follow his to the letter, you are sure not to have a problem or issue. Just if you do on your own add different programs, games, etc may be benfiicial to do what I am saying! Of course all is just advice. Hopefully, will get the entire error message to us and we'll figure what is going wrong and do our best to help! Is an awesome adventure building these OS's and everyone learns greatly from doing them! Will wish you the very best in all this also!!

Ok guys i have this one solved. The actual issue was caused by being logged in as root (super user). i retried the same command but only only as sudo and it copied just fine. Can some one please mark this post solved? Thank you.

BBOSAK2143 I agree TheeMahn is a genious when it comes to this stuff. He is the one that insired me to embark on this journey of enlightenment so to speak. Plus i find it challanging and fulfilling to create something of my own. I have been reading a lot of TheeMahns projects i have been learning from those.

You said you use ubuntu builder..... interesting. I have checked out some of your distros as well they are very nice keep up the good work!!!
