PeasyPDF v4.5 updated here.

Is this a different pen drive than the one you have working? Or did you resize it and add the ext4 partition?

I would make the fat32 partition much bigger (at least 2GB). Reformat it to get a clean partition and start over.

I just tested this in xubuntu and it worked correctly.

Are you opening the terminal in the location where the file bootlace.com exists?

Use the "ls" command to check.

@Lekium: Are you working in Puppy or in Windows? If you extract the .tar.gz in Puppy, you get an executable script. When you click on it, a terminal window opens with some yes/no questions. If you are doing this in Puppy, right-click on the script and select Properties. Are the three Exec boxes chec...

I had a quick look at your code. I think that you want to "escape" the $ sign. <action>open_filer \$DIR2</action> That will prevent the $DIR2 variable from being evaluated at the time the XML string is created, which is before the gtkdialog program actually runs. Instead the variable name ...

I made up an empty ext4 partition and Gparted reported that it was 3% used.

So your 7/386 GB is probably OK. It looks to me like sda7 is empty.

I have no idea where the data went.

Is Gparted still reporting 7GB of USED space on sda7?

While booting off the Live CD and with sda7 UNmounted, run:

Just to be sure, look in the folder /mnt/sda7.

Here is a tip for using repo2sfs (which regular users have probably already figured out). In general, the best way to use repo2sfs is in a CleanMode environment so you get the complete set of dependencies and your squashfs module is fully portable. But Master PDF Editor has a built-in scanning tool ...

Was sda7 mounted when you did the copy?

If you copied files into the UNmounted folder /mnt/sda7, they would actually go into your own filesystem and eventually fill up your savefile.

Updated 2020-06-26. See the main post.

There are new instructions here for making a squashfs module for Master PDF Editor.

Legacy GRUB Config 2019 updated here. The squashfs module has been slimmed down considerably.

This continues to be the most versatile GRUB bootloader app for pre-UEFI machines. Use it with the stetch-live-frugal-install tool.

When enrique started this thread, he wanted to discuss how Grub4Dos works in modern environments like GPT. Unfortunately, some community members cannot be bothered reading an entire thread before posting their own pearls of wisdom. So this thread has devolved into a tutorial on frugal installs. Peop...

It has puppy like users with a "run-as-user" script that runs things as the "puppy" user Fred's Dog builds have this mechanism but the Starter Kits do not. As you work through the various build scripts for apps like chromium, each one will have its own "run-as-guest" s...

I have used installed the newer kernel and It boots fine. Being a bit inexperienced with kernel upgrades, I have often experienced difficulties installing apps, as apt does not often find what I am looking for. Should I have a different expectation when working with sid? as far as just finding the ...

kindly link me to your wifi driver pack for the 5.6.0 kernel and a short note on setup.

Install it with right-click > install deb.

The Starter Kits are built with a stripped-down version of Fred's mklive script. I remove some of the apps that Fred puts into his Dogs and add some of my own.

To get multi-user, you need a login manager like slim. For details, ask in one of Fred's threads.

A lot has changed since the early days of ISObooter. It's been years since I even attempted to set up a big-boy Linux with persistence. Your best bet now is GRUB2 with a boot entry like this: menuentry "linuxmint-19.1-xfce-64bit" { set isopath="/linuxmint-19.1-xfce-64bit.iso" set...
