I'm using BionicDog , 7.5 .
I use the third option from the boot menu .
There doesn't appear to be the usual sfs save file as found in other puppies
also when I use the save option at the end of a session I notice that the
available space is decreasing faster than expected.
So are multiple save files being created or does the space even out once
the save is complete.
Can I use a save file, from a previous installation of BionicDog , with a fresh installation of BionicDog.
On a different note , do I need to use xrandr to set a 1080p resolution.
BionicDog save file
What does this third option say?I use the third option from the boot menu .
Is it something like boot RAM only or RAM only no save?
If yes.
you are booting not using a save.
So each time you shutdown it asks if you want to make a save.
You have probably made several different saves.
But because you keep booting RAM only, it never looks for them, to use them.
That is what you are seeing using up space.
When you boot, select the first option, which should be normal boot. It will use any save it finds. The save is where Puppy frugal install saves settings, added software, etc......
That RAM only or RAM no save, boot entry, is so you can boot not using a save.
Has nothing to do with running in RAM or not running in RAM.
Puppy frugal install, always runs in ram, no matter how you boot it.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Sorry, I do not use Bionicdog.
So, I am not going to try and help you.
Some Bionicdog user will come along.
Good luck.

Check your grub4dos or grub-legacy menu entry. The correct one should be of the following kind:
With the above menu entry the savedir should be loaded at every boot. The dir /casper/changes can grow very fast depending on the software you install because they are not stripped as in puppy.
Code: Select all
title BionicDog32 (sdb1)
uuid xxxyyyzzz
kernel /casper/vmlinuz noauto from=/ changes=/casper/
initrd /casper/initrd1.xz-

Hi edmont, see here for boot -code examples
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fredx ... -codes.txt
Looks like you are using save-folder
Using save-file is possible also, but needs to be created (CreateSave from Menu), then you can use grub4dos entry something like this (if changes.dat is in "casper" directory)
(e.g. remove man and doc files (and I think also unneeded locale files).
Note also that only updating the package lists (apt-get update or 'Reload' from Synaptic) takes more then 100MB of space in save storage and of course depending on which packages you install it can grow a lot more.

Yes indeed , no BionicDog version 7.5 exists, hopefully not being confused with BionicPup, its really something elseITSMERSH wrote:There is just no BionicDog in version 7.5.I'm using BionicDog , 7.5 .

I'm a bit surprised (to avoid saying
) of this statement.I like BionicDog!
Even if it's not a Puppy!
It's the only one that is able to recognize my Phonic Helix Board 24 MKII to record multiple tracks simultaneously in Ardour 5.
I wish, BionicPup (or any else current Puppy) could do that!
And it runs with very low resource hunger also on a Samsung N150 Netbook being able to do music e.g. Qtractor and Qsynth!
I wish also, I just could build my own version of it!

Yes thanks. I know about the remaster.fredx181 wrote:Thanks Rainer, good to hear !
I may misunderstand what you mean, but you can easily build your own by configuring everything as you like and then do a remaster (I'd recommend to use "Quick remaster").I wish also, I just could build my own version of it!

I meant it to build / create one the way you do.
changes
When I was first attempting to save the session changes I happened to create
a file changes.dat in directory /mnt/sdb1/casper ; I also , in a later session , created a file named changes2.dat . The latter file is the larger .
There's also a file titled 01-filesystem.squashfs , in the same directory .
I'm not certain if this is an alterable file.
When I'm using Puppy Linux I don't tend to trim the fat anyway.
