Compiled in Puppy 216

isomaster10_1x.pup is a complete version of the Isomaster version 1.0 program and was compiled on Puppy 108. It should work in both older and newer versions of Puppy. It includes a roxapp wrapper launch icon, the necessary icon files, and language translations.

Thanks, G2, that was pretty quick.

Edit: Mig21, recent member of this forum, is its author. Welcome!

thanks!

Just a note, this program creates an executable in /usr/local/bin called "isomaster" (it doesnt create a desktop shortcut).

Im going to use it to try and package some precompiled and zipped pup001 and pup_save.sfs files along with the bootable puppy cd. this way when I come to fix virused out doze machines I can just repartition, unzip the pup file to the root directory, reboot, run xorgwizard and I should have a working system already pre configured for a job. If for some reason the user fouls up the install later I should be able to talk them through re-installation on the phone.

Anything I should know about doing things this way?

Could it also be used to add the compiling .sfs to a Puppy iso, so I can compile when running Puppy from a multisession DVD in a computer with no hard drive?

the reason it puts the executable in /usr/local/bin and does not create an item in the menu or a desktop shortcut, is that this was an update for an older version that was already in Puppy 211 ... so it was already in the menu ... and i didn't register it with pupget, so that when Puppy upgrades from 211 to 212, it would (hopefully) automatically remove it and replace it with 212's version (which should be in ram, as opposed to on the hard drive)

Ive added a compressed pup001 file to a Puppy 1.09ce ISO, just mounted it and opened the zip file and its there!!! Theoretically so far so good. It seems this is tested for 1.xx series as well!

The pup file Ive used is from the puppy cybercafe project. This means we can set up a fully configured public open access computer from an old windows 98 machine with nothing but a cd in about ten minutes thanks to Puppy!

I suppose that it could be used for adding just about any file to a puppy ISO (theres certainly plenty of room left on a cd!). The openoffice .sfs would be a good option (hmm), as well as any other .sfs. It would just be a matter of booting the cd in memory and copying the files to the root directory, I believe there is a wine .sfs and a kde .sfs also?

Wieghing in at just 37k I think this little utility will make a fine addition to the stock puppy. I happen to recall from a long time ago that ISO editing programs like this one were extremely difficult to get hold of for doze.

Mig21 thank you for an excellent program.

you're most welcome. it's good to see i'm not the only one who has use for this program

cheers

Just tried the disk out at the cybercafe and it works great!!! Just posting from there now.

Good to hear, ecomoney!

I think this utility is going to be very useful for making archives of Puppy versions: along with the original iso, add devx_xxx.sfs and other files make for just that version. Collect them all on the same CD

Didnt someone make a "wild grubber pup" with "multiple personality boot loader" a while back? Did we ever hear back on how it was done?

I think Marksouth2000 is real big on Smart Boot Manager. Would it work?

updated package from 0.5 to 0.6

If BIOS does not support booting from USB (ESP if external)
No , SBM will not work.

A "work-around" may be if a BIOS is flashable to later standards.

Not a practical method to "script once > distribute, for all hardware" solution.
Sort of the same situation as E.G. > when the initrd Ram boot image & BIOS don't include support for Scsi devices .
A work-around install alternative then is Req'd.

But it's NOT an OS Loader; it's not a replacement for LILO or other OS Loaders. In other words, you must use LILO (or other similar programs) to boot Linux while using SmartBtmgr to give you an easy to use interface to Boot Multiple OSes.

No big deal, since I am about to move to 2.13 beta-2, but in 2.01 I get this error:

i think that's because you have an older gtk version. 2.6 maybe? i made that code optional in 0.7

Great! I look forward to it.

updated package from 0.6 to 0.7

thanks!

I get the same error as sit heel speak, using 109ce. Is there a fix for it? I tried both versions of isomaster, 0.6 and 0.7
