I tested on precise 5.4.90 and it worked perfectly right away.

Is this a script that one can edit so it does not ask so many questions
it wants to move files and deal with save file and so on.

I need it to load the sfs and not make me go into dialogs all the time Smile

I don't have a save file so all these questions are only annoying Sorry

Now I am using sfs-exec in Slacko despite it does not work properly
for slacko. Would be better to be able to use the built in sfs on fly
but a version that are less nosy all the time.

nooby; Did you try sfs_load --help to get the CLI list for use without the GUI.?

shinobar; I just needed an SFS loader for the first time for AppPkg development.

It works great except for what seems to be a Puppy messup of both the dirs. /lib/i386-linux-gnu and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
They are links to the parent dir. and sfs_load can`t union dirs. on them. I doubt any union can be done on this type of setup.

Is there a work around fix for what appears to be a Puppy hack.?

( I`m guessing apps. must be modified to work, meaning they`ll only work in Puppy. )

# Suggestion for sfs_load: Why limit it to SFS files,?

# Please also make it load ext2, ext3, and ext4 image files as well.!

And of course add "Load RO" and "Load RW". ( Separate buttons is good. )
Have the buttons disabled when a SFS file is selected to be loaded.
If the image file`s mounted RW and unioned RO, then the normal Save file is the union`s only RW.
Then changes to the image file can be made through it`s mount point.
This will allow new app. package development ( SFS and AppPkg ) to be done quite easily.

Hi.

To use sfs_load from command line use option --cli. I do use this inside the RunScripts from LazY Puppy's SFS P.L.U.S. to get the SFS loaded without the GUI.

Full command I do use:

Thanks for sharing that way to do sfs load.
I should test it ASAP but just now I am into other things.
I make a bookmark here so I can find it again. Thanks

Works good to load a dpup_devx_007.sfs into a ram boot of a dpup-005.sfs without annoying anything about wrong version and whatsoever . Has some much text about what and what not recommended is, but that is personal taste .

Nevertheless ( latest /root/Downloads/sfs_load-1.9.6-2.pet ) :
Dragged the _devx_ into the input box of the gui and got this later :
Seems some '\n' jumped into the $VARS and copying failed (crappy mrxvt, encoding or LANG mismatches possible ?)

Have not investigated the above further, but while running a Puppy with unionfs.ko instead of aufs.ko
I figured to mount devx with that line :

I use frugal precise 5.5 with light-encrypted precisesave.

simargl; Perhaps the branch is in use so it can`t be removed.

Try unmounting it and see if you get the usual error: Device or resource busy
