The only problem that I now have with PupRescue is:
Quote:
Is there a way to accelerate the shut down process? It takes awful long time when the system is saving to the flash drive.

I tried the solutions as per:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57380
Part A didn't work for me.
Part B:
I haven't been able to open initrd.gz for editing following the instructions delineated. Need additional advice on how to do it. Followed the instructions booting from my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop, but wasn't able to open said file for editing. Thanks.

L18L:

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. Confused I'm revising my steps again to see if I made a mistake. Thanks again for your help.
wp

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.

I would take "esac followed by blanc line ... " around line 911

Did you follow the instruction (see image) which is saving the change?

L18L:

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.

Subject description: Boot on usb : Fail with Grub.		  
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?

I assume you mean PupRescue_2.5.iso
if so, then the answer to your question is Yes

The following stanza works for me using Legacy Grub:
Code:
# Linux bootable partition config begins
  title PupRescue 2.5 (on sda11)
  rootnoverify (hd0,10)
  kernel /pr25/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pdev1=sda11 psubdir=pr25
  initrd /pr25/initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends

@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
Code:

title distro
  find --set-root --ignore-floppies
  kernel /iso/distro/vmlinuz   psubdir=iso/distro pmedia=atahd pfix=fsck
  initrd /iso/distro/initrd.gz

Works so far for all distros, except that puprescue_2.5.iso.

OK, once again you refer to the ISO as: puprescue_2.5.iso
yet the actual name of the one i have here is: PupRescue_2.5.iso
Where did you get this thing from Question
Did you check the md5sum when you downloaded the file Question

Here is the md5sum of the ISO that i have here: 624765761faa77868800d7969b23de39 PupRescue_2.5.iso
and the 3 files of interest inside of that ISO are these:
    bf18f3fa38e4f19f3ae74fec6b081a1e initrd.gz
    6a83667442e5840d68a7b92988749693 PupRescue_2.5.sfs
    51adeb52099a1a89bb1c2e5f98e48245 vmlinuz


Do your files match these Question

Any chance you could provide a copy of your actual menu.lst
and a screeny showing the files in the subdir where they reside, it may help
