Nice work Pizzaqsgood! I like the Pizzapup a lot. It serves as a great base for customizing my own distro.
I did have some dificulties with CD burning...probably mostly due to my lack of experience. My difficulties were in tracking down dependencies for most of the burning applications.
Does anyone have Bashburn working with it yet...I have an ATAPI all-in-one cd/dvd burner combo drive? I think it will work if I can get the drive location correct :-/ I think Bashburn would be a great utility for EC107.
I also had some trouble getting the remaster scripts to work. I wanted to make my own iso with just my apps on it, but had little success.
For the most part though, with some setup, I got everything to work nicely.
I used OSS Sound, Installed Java (2x larger than EC107), connected to my wireless network, installed AMAYA, installed Wink, installed the Flock browser, installed flash, and ran Thinkfree Office and Meebo from desktop links. Everything worked great...my own customized Puppy!
I was able to mount usr_more.sfs and run Open Office from /mnt/home as well as connect to my home network with LinNeighborhood.
Super Job! Once I get cd burning sorted out, I will be all set!
THANKS

i have BashBurn running in Puppy 1.0.7 ... screenshotDoes anyone have Bashburn working with it yet
i haven't used it much ... it seems to create a temporary iso file like Graveman does ... i prefer to pipe mkisofs to cdrecord so i don't need the space to store a temporary 700 meg file, so i wrote my own script to burn data cds
one thing ... BashBurn uses setterm -clear to clear the rxvt screen, which Puppy does not have, so i wrote a script called setterm which i put in my-applications/bin
#!/bin/sh
[ "$1" = "-clear" ] && clear
i have a BashBurn 1.6 dotpup package on my dotpups page ... i haven't upgraded it to 1.7 yet

Great to hear your close to the finish line, I just dnld it, ~2 min. at ~755 KBS, smokin!
I'll look at it quickly to see what's been done, but I think I've got a good idea already.
Looks to be a great start for building Puppy versions geared toward special purposes.
As you said... to strip it more just wouldn't produce a much smaller Puppy.
Hopefully Puppy 2 won't change the whole ball game for everyone & the projects they're working on.

Emptycrust boots up fine on my PC box. Although it fails on my old laptop: 'Poor man's install' using the regular 4 x files in C:\ dos partition on the hard disk and boot floppy method. Using both 'wakepup' and 'boot2pup' I get a "kernel panic" message and it freezes.
However, the same laptop / method and full Puppy version 1.7 files boots up fine to the Gui using the latest 'Wakepup' floppy. I wonder what has changed in Empty crust?

I haven't used wakepup or any of the poor-man things lately (I find livecd + usr_cram.fs on HD sufficient), but I think those need the correct ramdisk size. That is what changed in Empty Crust. According to Leon, 16169 is enough. The RC iso uses 16194. I know the instructions above are for Grub, but the general idea applies to any bootloader. Particularily ramdisk_size=16169 is what you need an equivelant for. I can't tell you where the actual stuff to edit is, though. In the floppy somewhere.Leon wrote:1. Solving problems at booting Empty Crust from Win98SE using Grub
I was increasing the number of ramdisk_size step by step and found this ramdisk_size to boot properly:
root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=16169
Here is my menu.lst:
default 0
timeout 0
title Puppy-1.0.7e
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram ramdisk_size=16169 PFILE=pupMINI-none-262144
initrd (hd0,0)/boot/image.gz
boot
Come to think of it, this is the same problem that happened to me way back when when I couldn't get Pizzapup to boot poor-man style on my sister's computer. I eventually just gave here a cd instead.
Glad to hear Empty Crust has been largely bugfree. I'm going to edit burniso2cd and make that background (unless people want this one), then do some final testing tonight. First I need to finish catching up on posts, though. I've written four essays this week, and started on a fifth (though this one's with a partner, so it's not so bad). Poetry, witches, Cromwell, the 30 Years War, and now The Importance of Being Earnest. It never ends. Not even when I graduate. I'll still have at least four years to go.... I guess I'll just have to think in terms of "feel the burn"

sorry it isn't, and it has a serious bug (perhaps puppy has it also)!Pizzasgood wrote: Glad to hear Empty Crust has been largely bugfree.
the rc.reboot script get never executet at reboot AND at shutdown, i'm having now corrupted filesystems.
the file is never in the /tmp/ direcotory and i'm seeing on sgutdown/reboot the messager,
BUMMER: can't find /tmp/rc.reboot
also it does not use my fstab, i createdt two entrys one for swap and one for my big homedrive on /home/
and none of them gets mounted on boot.
i testet this with many crust installs, allways the same
i have now corrupted filesystems

Well that isn't good
Hmmm.... Well, for the fstab stuff, does that work for you in a normal Puppy? The last time I checked, fstab wasn't persistant. Unless you have an hd install.
I only use livecd, though. I just put a script in rc.local to add entries to it and mount them.
I know nothing about swap, though. I do have a swap partition for Vector, but I don't know if Puppy uses it or not. I've never told it to though. I should look into that.
I'm going to take a look at the rc.reboot problem, then. If nothing else, it will force me to burn a couple extra isos, which will make sure my patched burniso2cd works.
Hopefully these are just crusty problems and not part of the mainline.

Fstab is not editable.
I gave you a link for a tool for automatic mount/unmount some days ago: http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?p=35173#35173

i'm aware about this tool, but i have a harddiskinstall..
my ftsab is writable, and the entryes also persists after reboot, but the entries are not used why ever...
i think the problem with the reboot script is because the tmp folder gets deleted/cleaned after the rc.reboot file is copied to it, as far as i saw in the init scripts... this is perhaps a race-condition or something...
there is never a rc.reboot in the tmp folder in a hdinstall
perhaps im to stupid but i tell it too you like it is/ like i see it

try to add these lines to
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwmpoweroff
and
/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwmreboot
after the part where X was killed
But I did not try it yet.

Huh. I thought I put the tabbed Dillo into Empty Crust. But this is the normal Dillo. The burniso2cd script worked, though. I also came up with an, uh, interesting background last night. It's amazing what a sleep deprived brain using Gimp can do. 128*128, and tileable. I think it was 4k. I'm going to maybe make another with fewer colors too. But first, I'm going to get Tabbed Dillo back. I've been using it with those essays I've been writing all week, and those tabs were handy.
Pizzasgood, can you post a HowTo of what optimisations you made exactly to get your EmptyCrust?
This would be good as a guide for those doing similar things & also help to see where introduced bugs (if any) came from...
e.g. my list is available at:

Thanks a lot,

Sure. That was my plan anyways, so I wouldn't have to have people asking me if I removed this or that. There's already a list of what was removed for the RC in the directory with the iso and checksum. Once I get done with the final, I'll update it if necissary, and write up what else I did.
