 Before running the remastering script, make sure you have installed:
 - e2fsprogs-devel
 - cloop utils and cloop
+- dpkg and make-kpkg
 
+NOTE: If you're running the remastering script on a non-debian machine,
+you can obtain the dpkg and make-kpkg sources from:
+http://packages.debian.org
+Search for the packages and download the source tarballs. You should
+be able to install dpkg and make-kpkg from the sources on most of
+the popular Linux distributions.
+There are also some non-debian distros who have dpkg packages available
+(Gentoo is one of those. You can install dpkg, simply by typing
+emerge dpkg)

 For remastering a KNOPPIX 5.x based LiveCD, make sure you are using
 gcc 4.

 1.) Mount an existing KNOPPIX ISO to /mnt/knoppix
 2.) Execute the remastering script:
 ./create_livecd.sh -s /mnt/knoppix/ -t /tmp/osadl -k /usr/src/linux-2.6.16-rt8 \
--u unionfs-1.1.3 -c cloop-2.04 -o -g skeletons/osadl/graphics/ -p skeletons/osadl/rootfs
+-u unionfs-1.1.3 -c cloop-2.05 -o -g skeletons/osadl/graphics/ -p skeletons/osadl/rootfs
 
 (For the current version it is strongly recommended to supply absolute pathnames!)
 
+When supplying a kernel source tree, the script uses
+./kernel_configs/config-knoppix
+as kernel config by default. If you don't want to use the default, you can use
+the -C option to tell the script, which configuration file to use.
+You can call create_livecd.sh -h to get a description of all supported parameters.
+
+NOTE: For KNOPPIX versions >=5.1 you need to supply a path to an aufs source tree,
+because unionfs has been replaced by aufs in recent KNOPPIX versions.

 3.) When the script has finished, /tmp/osadl should look like this:
