If the resize script doesn't work and you're stuck, here's a simple way to
extend your pupsave file:
Open xcalc or other calculator.
Calculate the number of Mg's you need as 32 x A x 1024
32 is 32 Mg's, A is the multiple of 32 Mg's you need, and 1024 is the number
of single bytes.
Example : 32 x 6 x 1024. Result : 196608, i.e. 192 Mg's.
Now open your editor. You insert that number in the following file, like so:
- # 1 -- Example for new pups, after Puppy 5.7 series:
As you can see, the 2nd line has to have the path and the name of the pupsave.KILOBIG=196608
PUPSAVEFILEX=/slacko-6.0_beta/slackosave-21juin2014.2fs
Another example, to make it clear:
The name of this file has to be pupsaveresizenew.txt.KILOBIG=32768
PUPSAVEFILEX=/vividpup-6.5/vividsave-cl150319.2fs
#2 -- Example for Puppy versions 5.7 and earlier: simply type the result in
your editor and save it as file pupsaveresize.txt.196608
the number in the file at reboot and boost the size of your pupsave
accordingly.
I hope this helps.
