The only problem that I now have with PupRescue is:

Thanks a lot for the help given. Now, I am able to edit initrd.gz without problem, but, following instructions on Part B of, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57380 did not produce the effect I was expecting (a quicker shut down). I inserted the recommended line (PUPMODE=12) below esac and shut down a few times, but couldn't perceive any improvement in shut down times. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or I need to do something else. I'm revising my steps again to see if I made a mistake. Thanks again for your help.

PS:
After revising, I found the line esac a number of times in the init script. Now I'm confused where I should insert the PUPMODE=12 statement.

After some additional experimenting I found out that apparently, PupRescue precise boots with a fresh initrd.gz file. I can modify the file, but after shut down and start up, the modifications to initrd.gz are gone.

Thanks for answering. Yes, I followed the instructions as the image shows. I even ran the script again to verify that the line I inserted was there. My init script has esac following with blank lines in the following:
line 317 ;;
line 318 esac
line 319 (blank)

line 875 ;;
line 876 esac
line 877 (blank)

line 921 *) RDSH="yes" ;;
line 922 esac
line 923 (blank)

line 1887 ;;
line 1888 esac
line 1889 (blank)

Thanks.

The thread that you gave me talks about a utility called PupSaveConfig. Do you think this utility would help me, at least, to decide to save or not to save at shut down? Will it work with PupRescue_Precise? Thanks.

pupsaveconfig 'save or not' : that seems already included in Precise rescue, that's a good thing. Pupsaveconfig works everywhere, excepted.. ?.
I use v. 2.2.2, not 2.2.5.
BOOT USB : I get a boot process to replace Puprescue one from another Precise distro. It works (now).

I use a dedicated iso directory to test isos. I just copy each iso into it's own directory inside the iso directory and unarchive it. I then make the appropriate adjustment to menu.lst and voila!. The puprescue- precise iso works fine and can be booted from grub4dos, no problems.
However, when I tried this with puprescue.2.5.iso I got an Error 15 File not found message. Has anybody done a frugal install of the puprescue.2.5 iso successfully?

Hi

[wimpy]

@CatDude Thanks for the reply. I'm using grub4dos and all I do is add the following to menu.lst for each distro that I am testing
