HI
i suppose that using ubuntu linux is ok for you
1 - download the file below : dreambox_scripts.zip
there are 5 files
2 - make a directory
for example mkdir dreambox
3 - put the 5 files in folder dreambox
make chmod 755 for all those 5 files
4- put the image in the same folder (dreambox)
for example pli-jade2-original.img
5- go to the directory dreambox ( cd dreambox)
type this command :
./undreamboxfs pli-jade2-original.img pli-orig
after execution we have a new folder called pli-orig
6 - make your changes (add languages, skins , delete plugins , add plugins, etc...)
of course the changes must be done in the new folder created (pli-orig).
7- after that when finished , you must repack your image by typing this command :
./mkdreamboxfs pli-orig new-pli.img
8 - Thats all, you have your new image.(new-pli.img)

REMARK : if you do only this , you will not have the bootlogo
then what must me done?
you copy and paste the file "bild" included in /root/platform/kernel in /bin
after that edit the file rcS included in /etc/init.d
after the line
/etc/init.d/init1
add the following line
/bin/showlogo /bin/bild

and thats all
i hope i explained

The above is not very clear to me. You really mean the image must be bigger, but not too big??

[hemispherical1]

THE SAME SIZE AS THE ORIGINAL IMAGE OR LESS

i.e. no larger than the original image, same size or smaller.

This has helped me very much, in fact so much that I've created a script to do the work for you. (except all the image modifications ofcourse =P) Just make sure that there's a valid imagefile called dbimage.img in the script's directory and it'll unpack it by executing UNPACK.

Make modifications and run PACK.

Done! Imagefile saved to new-image.img

There's a README file inside with better instructions... I hope this helps anyone!

Please let me know if it works for you or not...

[yzckq]

thx, it's works fine under ubuntu

but i find it can't unpack pli maxvar.

Is there a way to do it ?

[hemispherical1]

C&P from unpack and repack pli image

I'm not an expert, but I would guess that max-var image's change in partiton layout / size causes the unimg script to not find the squashfs it expects at "OFFSET1=1179648". It "might" work if you discovered the proper offset. The same change would probably be needed to the mkimgscript to compress the image again...

This refers to a different set of scripts, but the idea should still apply...

Ps. If you want to play, try an OFFSET of 1048576 for max-var, no guarantees of course...

It worked perfectly under ubuntu 9. Thank you!
