Remastering remastering

[technosaurus]

no- just that I didn't really want to release something with only limited functionality... I made a test iso and could not install anything from it, so I hacked the remasterpup2 script so that it could at least generate a new pupXXXsfs and iso so that users had a way to install their favorite puplet from the disk without having to download again...of course I could have just done it the easy way and install each puplet in its own directory but there are at least 2 of those already and it is really easy to "remaster" those by just
editing the boot menu
replacing the files
deleting boot.cat
then using dir2iso (<--available on the forum - isomaster has problems reported but I think not deleting boot.cat before remastering is the issue)

The problem with that method is that each puplet contains about 95MB of the same files so that 10 puplets would have ~1GB of duplicate files. For instance Puppy 4.1.2 ~97MB or so & Macpup ~98MB etc... thus 7 puplets would almost fill a CD but each puplet only has about 5MB difference so just to do a rough calculation (700-100)/5=120 small puplets. Obviously some puplets are much larger & many of those won't make it into the cd version at a minimum, but now that there is a script to dynamically load sfs modules I will probably include some of the major sfs files as well (you can load an sfs by just dragging it to the script)
