Be VERY careful with syntax - tar creates an archive and ADDS files or directories to that archive -
Use of compression utilities along with tar complicates further !
If just compression is wanted tar is not Req'd - any compressed files/folders may be archived as one - added/removed later.
It is strongly advised > create a temporary folder, copy non-essential files there & then play with variations of the CLI &
varied parameters to see results.
It will also be noted - the order of parameters is important !
Single files or directories may be added (concatenated) or pulled out of the archives.
READ the man files carefully

tar xvzf backup.tar.gz

tar cvzf backup.tar.gz home/ usr/ opt/
the file is somewhat broken and the mashine cannot boot -...and i cannot listen to christmas songz.

Small update, now has support for the new mime database(Puppy-2.13), and also the old mime structure for xFileMount. It works for Puppy-2.xx and Puppy 1.xx, older versions I don't know
(icons not included
)
Supported files: *.3fs; *.2fs; *.iso; *.sfs; *.squashfs; *.sqfs; *.fs;*.img
sunburnt, with the new mime database it is possible to add mime types for filenames such as: initrd, initrd.gz, image, image.gz. But, Is it safe to do it?
And about the icons I'll release a new Icon Theme for Puppy-2.13/ROX-Filer-2.5 tomorrow.

wow; I see no problem with adding specific files as mime types,
the image files aren't executable anyway, so it shouldn't matter.
As I see it, if clicking on a file in ROX doesn't have anyother purpose,
then setting a mime type for the file should be okay.
lederlunge; I missed your post (I don't know why I wasn't emailed).
I'm not sure just what your trying to do, or what your saying has happened.

Well, I'll make an optional dotpup for those types later.

Really NICE. I like 'em better than the first ones... & I liked them!
wow; What app(s) & methods are you using to make these icons?

The original idea comes from
mattahan and you can download the real Icon Set at his website. I only did some small modifications with Gimp and made the DotPup. Actually, I just made icons for types like .pet; .pup; .3fs; .2fs; .img; .fs and .sfs.
MIME Types rev 2.1 for xFileMount

Updated again, now covering all the file types supported for xFileMount (types like image.gz, initrd only for Puppy-2.13 and up):
*.fs; *.sfs; *.squashfs; *.sqfs *.2fs; *.3fs; *.iso; *.img; image; image.gz; initrd; initrd.gz; initrd* and initrd*.gz
Requires: sunburnt's xFileMount.pup
Also, PupGant icon theme was updated to show icons for all those new types.

Does this mean anything to anyone?:
Code: Select all
# xfilemount zdrv_216.sfs
##### FILE = /mnt/hdb5/zdrv_216.sfs
##### EXT.X = sfs
##### FileType = Squash
##### TYPE = squashfs
##### MntPt = /mnt/-mnt-hdb5-zdrv_216.sfs
mount: Mounting /mnt/hdb5/zdrv_216.sfs on /mnt/-mnt-hdb5-zdrv_216.sfs failed: Invalid argument
gzip: compressed data not written to a terminal. Use -f to force compression.
For help, type: gzip -h
It's working fine for ext2 files, but not sfs

I & others have noticed that it doesn't work on the newer Puppy-2.x.x SFS files.
Others have said that it did work for them... I'm not sure why this is so.
The mount command is failing for some reason & I can't find out what it is.

Will this mounter mount my Nexus 7 tablet or do I need something else? Running Puppy 5.2.8

Hi rmcellig; I assume a Nexus 7 tablet is USB connect and the media card in it shows up.?
Plug it in and it should pop up a drive icon at the lower left of your desktop.

It is a USB connection but there is no icon that shows up. My other regular USB drives work fine. I made sure that the Nexus is not asleep. Works fine in Xubuntu 13.10. I'm running puppy 5.2.8 (005). Anything else I should try?
Thanks for getting back to me!

You could try running [Menu] > [Filesystem] > [Pmount] and see if that sees it.
Here`s a fix that explains Ubu. setup. I assume the same setup is needed for Puppy.

Thanks Sunburnt! I'll see if that works.
