...alternatively, though not preferable, how do I pass the parameters for the keyboard, mouse, etc. so I'm not prompted and get all the way through to the desktop?

How to read PUP001 config file from CD?

I have a Puppy configuration the way I want it. The preferences (and additional files) are kept in the PUP001 file on the local HD. I'm trying to take this configuration, and burn it to a seperate, ultimate boot CD, from which I would have a choice to boot Puppy off this CD. I am trying to get Puppy...

Excellent I'll check it out.

As for the mis-filing, sorry, you're right. I must have read something under this forum in trying to find an answer and just click the new post icon. My bad.

As a moderator, feel free to move it to the correct location.

My first remastered LiveCD...failed. Whad I do wrong?

I followed AlienX procedure for remastering from a LiveCD. I have a machine, with no HD, 1GB of RAM. Everything appeared to create correctly. Two issues: 1) When I boot, I don't see the graphic boot screen...I only get the boot.msg 2) I get this message: Sorry, cannot start X. File /usr/X11R6/bin/x ...

One comment/suggestion about the script: how 'bout a completion message...so I know when it's done (instead of wondering if it's working in the background) or, better yet, return me back to the package manager so that I can select more to uninstall if I want.

Yeah...I ran that...still didn't work. I had to go edit the file under /root/.icewm/menu file, using the JWM menu file as a reference.

Interesting. Because I'm trying to remaster my own, doing everything in 1 GB RAM, I'm avoiding the reboot...since none of my changes will be preserved. I made alot of progress with my "St. Bernard Puppy" puplet last night. By goal is to have a small, "Recovery Console" that I can...

IceWM loses DotPup package installer off Start Menu

I install IceWM, and restart, Start / Setup / DotPup package installer is replaced with "DotPup Rox-app packages" and takes me to www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/DotPup website instead! To get back to the DotPup package installer, I have to go to Start / Window Manager, Jwm. But when I do that,...

How to Install IceWM

I'm installing the IceWM window manager, and the XP Theme for IceWM. After install, it says it should be in my IceWM menu. I don't have an IceWM menu.

Remastering LiveCD in RAM

I read somewhere about being able to remaster a LiveCD all in RAM if I had at least 1 GB. I'm trying to do this within VMWare...I've got a machine with 1 GB of RAM. How do I make this happen?

Also, I did read in this forum somewhere how you can turn a Slax module to a DotPup(?). So, this may make the above request even easier: QTPARTED: http://slax.linux-live.org/modules.php?category=other&id=298&name=QTParted PARTED: http://slax.linux-live.org/modules.php?category=system&id=...

St. Bernard Puppy - Creating a rescue Puppy :D

I'm trying to create my own Puppy, that has just the tools I need to backup/restore a drive/partition image and perhaps even scan/repair a vfat/FAT32 partition. This would make for a very small, fast, on-board "Recovery Console). A couple tools I'm needing, and struggling on figuring out how to...

How do I umount /mnt/home (to backup /dev/hda1)

I just recently discovered Puppy as I was looking for a way to have a free, open-source, Linux-based on-board imaging (backup/restore) solution, and found that I need something that can run completely from RAM...hence, I found this wonderful distro. So, I have a single drive, single parition (FAT32)...
