Problems making a Puplet with Woof

EDIT: having one's thread title change unexpectedly inspires much confusion, BTW.

Moderators do that to improve post searchability and clarity.

SUCCESS! Well, partially.

I used Woofy, built into Puplite 4.0. It's friendlier than the normal CD remaster tool, I have to say. I like it

I still have a little housetraining to do on this Puplet before I let it loose:
(1) JWM is a little messed up. The drives tray is the wrong size and the top tray that I wanted to keep disappeared. I think I can fix this just by copying over a few files.
(2) The boot menu (thank you, sc0ttman for making it so nice) and all the internal stuff still identifies it as Puplite 4.0. Not cool.
(3) The PMConky app is the wrong color (default white instead of green). Again, I think I can just copy over a file and fix this.

Any tips on fixing these would be appreciated.

Good, glad someone is making use of it!

Don't forget, Woofy edits the ISO file you give it, it does not copy any files over from your default install - so you have to edit the jwm setup files and pmconky.sh in the new filesystem being created, not on your own installation.

Tick the 'Edit filesystem' checkbox before you start remastering with Woofy - then Woofy will ask you to edit the contents of the new filesystem before it is created.

.. When asked, simply edit the relevant files, in the 'basedir' folder that pops up, before the new sfs is created.

About your specific problems:

I still have a little housetraining to do on this Puplet before I let it loose:
(1) JWM is a little messed up. The drives tray is the wrong size and the top tray that I wanted to keep disappeared. I think I can fix this just by copying over a few files.

To edit the drives tray, you must edit /usr/sbin/create_jwmrc_drives.sh, editing /root/.jwmrc-drives is not enough to make the changes permanent.

Also to make any other JWM changes *permanent*, you must edit /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc, not /root/.jwmrc

(2) The boot menu (thank you, sc0ttman for making it so nice) and all the internal stuff still identifies it as Puplite 4.0. Not cool.

Change the entry in /etc/DISTRO_SPECS that says DISTRO_NAME to whatever you want.

(3) The PMConky app is the wrong color (default white instead of green). Again, I think I can just copy over a file and fix this.

Again, don't forget to edit /usr/sbin/pmconky.sh..

Once you have edited the files in basedir, or copied your own files over to replace them, you can continue with the remaster and all will be fine.
