Can multiple Puppies be burned onto one CD-RW? (SOLVED)
Can multiple Puppies be burned onto one CD-RW? (SOLVED)
I would like to burn Puppy Linux 4.3.1 and its two retro versions, plus Classic Pup 2.14x, onto a single CD-RW.
(It has 700 MB of space, so why not?)
Can this be done in such a way to allow each Puppy to be booted individually?
If so, how?
(and would the CD-RW be burned "closed" or "open"?)
Thank you.

Maybe not as simple as just burning a cd but I've used the technique in this threadDewbie wrote:I would like to burn Puppy Linux 4.3.1 and its two retro versions, plus Classic Pup 2.14x, onto a single CD-RW.

to make a few multi-version cd's.
HTH.
Hello,
To unpack the tarball, simply click on it in Rox!!
It will open in XArchive, and then click extract..It will ask you if you mean all files? click yes, it will ask you where to unpack to...That is it..
If you have further questions about how to use it, post them here..
Also, I would recommend using a cd-r rather than a cd-rw...

Hello,
No, I have just had reader problems with them, and since linux burns "open ended" and you can repeatedly add data to a standard cd-r the only advantage to them is if you need to "blank" them.. which in this application, would never be necessary...But they will work fine....just use a new one if you can or blank it really good...
I recently made a 2/3/4/5 Puppy cd...
214.x top5 w/ metacity
3.01 Icepup, my icewm release..(kinda too cute..lol)
4.0 Buddapup 4 "Dingo" with E-17
5.11 "Lupen" with E-16
plus a few extras including Tinycore...
Eye candy disc
I`m putting Ripple on the next one, ummm...Compiz/Beryl with Cairo dock..
I must have 10 of these things, I cant stop..LOL
Be forewarned... Highly addictive

OK, tarball is unpacked.
One look at the readme.txt instructions, and...uh-oh!
If I was a programmer I would probably understand this, but I'm not, so I don't:
(like what you did three posts above)
Once again, thanks!

Can you please break this down into simple steps?0. Start your distro
1. Unpack makecddvdmultiboot.tar.gz in any place on you harddisk.
Keep and no change directory structure of this pack. You can change the names
2. Put the three-files (or four-files) vmlinuz, initrd.gz, pup_xxx.sfs in it's own directory (and/or devx_...sfs if exist). Browse to see the structure of dvd directory.
3. Read and modify all "menu.lst" to satisfy your options. You also must to modify the "menu.lst" in the subdir /boot/grub - It's important stuff
4. After all, move in dvd_boot directory, at this place you will see an script named "dvd_iso". Run this script, your multiboot CD/DVD will be created.
(like what you did three posts above)
Once again, thanks!
Hello,
I`ll do ya one better..
Rather than go into editing menu.lst files and grub.....
I did it for you...
Attached is a new tarball, customized just for you..
Inside the DVD source directory you will find folders for the Puppies you mentioned in your post, ie 431/431r1/431r2/214x
the readme has been edited for you as well, on how to mount ISO`s etc..
Put the necessary files in their respective folders, run the script, and `viola
Multipup cd..
PS dont worry that it says DVD, it works the same with a CD...
But a DVD will hold like 3 dozen Puppies...
Wish I had a DVD burner LOL...

EDIT: My sincere apologies to the first 16 d/l`ers of this file...There was an error in the menu for 431r2 which prevents it from booting...
I fixed that, and added a bootsplash, courtesy of CatDude...

Hi all
For anyone wishing to use a fancy GRUB boot screen (not limited to 14 colours or whatever it is that GRUB splashimages use),
i have attached below, a suitable replacement for this file: /dvd_boot/dvdsource/boot/grub/stage2_eltorito
You could then download or make your own message file (you can find some in this thread: Message files for the GRUB gfxmenu )
Once you have downloaded and uncompressed one, put the message file in the grub directory: /dvd_boot/dvdsource/boot/grub
from this:
to something like this:
just replace YOURMESSAGEFILE with the actual name of your chosen message file,
for example:
Hope this helps

- NOTE:
It may be advisable to use a message file of 800x600,
just in case you ever need to use your custom DVD/CD on a machine/monitor combo that cannot handle a higher resolution.
On the other hand, if that situation is never likely to occur,
then i recommend the larger 1024x768 files.
from this:
Code: Select all
#splashimage=/boot/grub/picture.xpm.gz
Code: Select all
gfxmenu (cd)/boot/grub/YOURMESSAGEFILE
for example:
Code: Select all
gfxmenu (cd)/boot/grub/pup-pup
Hope this helps

Can multiple Puppies be burned onto one CD-RW?
To Dewble
Answer is YES
And this tar package may be help you?
This is the same pack that you 'd downloaded (May be this is from me long long time ago!)
Untar this pack "make_multi_boot_cd_dvd.tar.gz". Please read the readme.txt.
Good time

Hello,
@vanchutr, Yes, It is the same tarball, as I got it from you years ago, and it has worked well for me.. In this case the instructions and structure are a bit above the user, Dewbie`s, skill level...(Editing Grub menus and stuff)..As such, I simplified it a bit for his needs and did the editing for him...
I hope you dont mind if I update it a bit for the newer Puppies, remove the DSL stuff, (Knoppix...confusing boot codes.), make it Puppy only, and expand the readme for more newbie friendliness??
CatDude, I will definately check out your edited stage2 eltorito and add a boot splash as well..

Hello,
@vanchutr,
Ah my friend, it is your package, and I have learned from you by using it...
I am just going to "newbie" it up a bit...
I wish I knew enough C to make a gui so that user input could build the dir structure and grub files in advance.. That would be slick...
I could do it in bash, but not as cleanly...and it would be huge....and ugly..
I`m no programmer....
(Although, my first program for Puppy, PupTV, was (to my amazement) included in an official release, and has spawned many "children", some included in the current Puppy... )
I just put ideas and (smarter than me) people together, and Puppy does the rest...

Create separate directory for each version, copy three files (vmlinuz, initrd.gz,pup-???)in corresponding directory then use "psubdir" boot parameter.
Example (for isolinux):
label puppy1
kernel /puppy1/vmlinuz
append initrd=/puppy1/initrd.gz pmedia=cd psubdir=puppy1
label puppy2
kernel /puppy2/vmlinuz
append initrd=/puppy2/initrd.gz pmedia=cd psubdir=puppy2
etc....
Example (for isolinux):
label puppy1
kernel /puppy1/vmlinuz
append initrd=/puppy1/initrd.gz pmedia=cd psubdir=puppy1
label puppy2
kernel /puppy2/vmlinuz
append initrd=/puppy2/initrd.gz pmedia=cd psubdir=puppy2
etc....
SUUM CUIQUE.
Hello,
All the grub params are preset for the 4 versions the OP asked for..
All he need do is copy the 3 (4 for 214x) files from each ISO to the folder with the same name, and run the included script.
CatDude,
Very nice graphic example!!
A visual representation of the readme I included...
Dewbie....you can do this....it is easier than it seems...
Copy the 3 (4 for 214x) files into each folder and run the script....
Viola....
***214x has a zdrv file to copy as well, the others do not....****

Additional information from puppyluvr via pm:
The bold portion is in reference to the GUI that puppyluvr released later in this thread.The original tarball I made you was very "generic"...By that I mean you could link any ISO into any one of the folders, and the result would boot...But the menu would still remain fixed...r1 and r2 were just designations based on your posted Pups...They are not specific to any Puppy or kernel, just grub names...It was a very basic and raw package...No matter what you put in them, it will boot the same, but the grub menu will remain fixed...and the 214x thing...The gui won't run on 214x < top 5...But you can put any 2 series and above, into the ISO...
