Dougal, I just did very quick hacks with what I knew worked. People were complaining about install paths, so I also took out the /boot/puppy216.Dougal wrote:Barry, I don't think you used the my latest update of the installer -- the USB HD problem was solved after people sent me the results of the HW-test dotpup and I found that removable HDs are actually recognized as non-removable.
Why have you added the grub-style device names in the grub entries (initrd hd(0,0)/boot/initrd.gz)? it has been working fine for me all this time without them (initrd /boot/initrd.gz).
I didn't use your latest as the comment at the top stated that you had implemented something -- I forget now -- anyway, I didn't realise there were other changes. If I recall, I used your vesion of 9thMay.
If that removable/non-removable flag can be used to distinguish between USB Flash and HDDs, that is great.
I've been delaying release of 2.16, too long. It's coming out today as-is. The Installer is a continually evolving project and updates will of course be available in the future.
