lupu-510.sfs not found and

[Rilla927]

Have you done this before and it worked? How can you change the file when it's in a ISO image...... ahh yes, I forgot the ISO would have to be extracted, changed and then re-burn to another ISO.

Hi Rilla927 !
It is about renaming a file before the .extension (.sfs) .

I don`t think renaming the .iso would automatically rename parts of its content.

I don`t know if you need additional .iso support for your burning OS for looking inside a .iso to rename a file inside of it.

[Rilla927]

I still don't understand how you can rename a file when it's part of a iso image, which is one file. Make me understand.

I installed Lucid Puppy 5.1 and everything went good
I'm using the live cd. At the end when I was going to shut down it asked where to save the file
This is a desktop. I never had a chance to save

I think I`ve no .rar support.
I understand:
You`re running Vista with C:\ and D:\ and burned the Puppy.iso to a RW CD ?
The content on the CD is no .iso anymore :

Then Puppy started to create a pupsave-abc.2fs file on one of the windows formatted C:\ or D:\ partitions ?
Or did you create a linux ext2 formatted partition using `gparted` ?
Don`t forget to add a swap partition !
Better to start with an empty harddrive IMHO.
At my Macpup install I once downloaded an .iso and after mounting the storage disk I can click on the .iso icon and the filemanager runs up and shows its' content :

So theoretically I`ve the option to rename the files in there
The settings for looking at some pupsave-files are perhaps at
the /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG file.
my frugal 430.sfs Bootconfig file is empty but there is an /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG file inside the pupsave-abc.2fs logical-virtual-volume-file and this is its' content:
PREVUNIONRECORD='pupsave-new2fs.2fs pup-430.sfs zp430305.sfs'
LASTUNIONRECORD='pupsave-new2fs.2fs pup-430.sfs zp430305.sfs'

[Rilla927]

Oh okay, now I understand. I didn't know when the iso was burnt it then became regular files.

I asked if you have done this yourself?

Where do I find this file LUPU-510.SFS? I'm using a Live CD.

[Karl Godt]

The key is the difference between "LUPU-510.SFS" and "LUPU_510.SFS".

I don`t know 510 exactly but Windows presents the letters differently at CD/DVD and USB/Thumbdrive.
While linux and windows-usbthumb use small letters and a "-" , the CDdrive at win uses big letters and "_"; it`s like translating a-z to A_Z .
All my *pup* show off like PUP_431.SFS at win CDdrive but at linux and win usb it`s pup-431.sfs . So the only difference would be the "-_" shift .

The content of 501 CD at win:
BOOT.CAT,BOOT.MSG,desktop.ini,HELP.MSG,INITRD.GZ,ISOLINUX.BIN,ISOLINUX.CFG,
LOGO.16,LUPU_501.SFS,VMLINUZ
and at Macpup_Opera2 frugal :
boot.cat help.msg isolinux.bin logo.16 vmlinuz
boot.msg initrd.gz isolinux.cfg lupu-501.sfs

.msg are textfiles that can be opened with notepad++ (google for it)

Where do I find this file LUPU-510.SFS? I'm using a Live CD.

CD of course and if there is an uncomplete install : somewhere at the hardrive(s).

I've been having the same problem trying to run both puppy 5.1 and 5.2 on a macbook pro (intel, 4gb ram). I noticed after reading this thread that my mac (running OS X) lists the contents of the .iso file with a pup_510.sfs rather than a pup-510.sfs. The thing is, I copied the iso over to a puppy I had running on an old PC and burned the CD from there. My macbook pro won't boot from this CD, giving the pup_510.sfs not found error, but and old dell optiplex desktop will boot from the same CD. It's very odd!

I hadn't noticed the - to _ shift before - i'll try editing the filename and reburning.

[Dogface]

Just an update - I've tried reburning and made sure the - is not replaced by a _ . It seems that the lupu-510.sfs file is named correctly in both the iso and when the error message comes up. I still can't boot a macbook pro with this disk, but every other pc I have tried it works fine. Does anyone have any ideas?

[greenstar53]

This is what I did for a similar thing for Puppy 5.2 although I do not know how much help it will be, it is worth a try.

One way around it is to put lupu_520.sfs on a usb flash drive. It should find the file on the flash drive after it looks around for awhile. However this does not explain how this happened assuming it is on the CD and named correctly. Also if you are trying to do this on a newer Macbook Pro, I bet it will just start saying "Boot partition not found" instead, at least that is what mine does.

" can't access tty; job control turned off "

often happens when any other hardware...except a mouse

is plugged into a port at bootup.

Seems to scramble it.

Today's example >> Netgear usb wireless key.

Plug it in afterwards.

I wouldn't doubt some printers do this as well.
