Foo, you're able to boot a Puppy CD, use it to remaster a new CD, and the remastered CD won't boot on the same machine?

I can boot any Puppy CD that I have burned with an iso that I download but when I remaster the CD and burn a CD with the created iso it will load vmlinuz and image.gz and after it scrools thru the hardware identifaction I get a kernel panic init not found

Apparently something dosen't like my IDE HDDs that are connected to the primary IDE. I disabled the primary IDE in the bios booted the multisession CD and everything works fine. Go figure!

Hi Alienx
Thanks for writng your scripts. I tried all three and found that your first one suits my needs the best. Only having one problem. When I boot from remaster & choose 1 to save data everything is fine. When I choose 2 don't save data it scrools through all the boot and then ask for a password. Is something wrong here or do I need a password?
Thanks

Hmm, that's puzzling. As far as I know, Puppy only asks for a password when it finds a corrupt pup001 during the boot process. Even though you're using the option to boot without saving to HD, I'd say check your hard drive for pup001 files that aren't supposed to be there.
Another thing: would you please give a link to the post with the Alienx scripts in it? It's much more difficult to help you if we have to guess what you're doing. Thanks.

hi, I have no idea what's happening to you
The 3 scripts are attachments at the first part of this post, they all are similar but the third have a slightly different approach
All 3 are very very SIMPLE and easy to understand, I would like that someone give new ideas to improve them

remastered cd |

Thanks Guest, your clue was enough to fix it. My hda1 drive did have a PUP001 file on it, although it is not corrupt. I disconnected the HD and booted the remaster from CD, choose 2 don't save, and it booted right up.
How do I leave a link to a previous post?

In the window where you compose forum posts:
Add brackets before and after the words you want to be the link. The first set of brackets contain the url you want to link to, for instance: (I will make the closing bracket } instead of ] as it should be, so that it won't work and you can see how it should look)
[url=http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=1765}Word or phrase[/url}
If done correctly the "Word or phrase" will show up light blue in the post, and when clicked on will link to the URL in the first set of brackets.
The URL to the forum post you want to link to can be found by touching the cursor to the little page icon to the left of the words "Posted: Sat July 16" in the upper left corner of the post.

Tip for low ram users:
as said before we can install everything: pupgets, dotpups, own files etc
most of dotpups installs on /root/my-applications and then go to image.gz on remaster
after boot image.gz goes to ramdisk and if it is big this is bad for low ram systems
but there s an easy solution...
before using script move folder /root/my-applications to /usr and symlink it back to /root
also you can populate folder /root/.fonts with lots and lots of fonts and do the same:
move it to /usr and symlink it to root
files that are on /usr are compressed in usr_cram.fs and don't use much memory, that's why people with few ram should do this
IMPORTANT:
Puppy 1.0.5 do not use scsi emulation anymore
so we don't need now this line on script
echo on > $WORKDIR/image-new/root0/.etc/scsiemul
here is an updated version without it

I tried your script, I got only 18MB of if ISO. "no space left on device' but I got 128 RAM + 256 Swap. Do I still need to edit usr_cram.fs? I got Mozilla themes & wine installed. I created symlinks to /usr from /root0 of /mnt/image, am i doing it correctly?
This is Live CD running with PUP001 save to /dev/hda1 which is windows.

the tip about symlinking is optionall , not necessary
in fact it's safer just install what you and run script
symlinking is useful only in this situation: user installs a lot of big things on /root (like 50 mb java) and the computer has few memory
wine installs to /usr, only small .wine rests on /root and mozilla themes are not so big

I think this will not work. I have tested symlinking only with /root/my-applications and /root/.fonts

but i noticed that the ISO is 53MB and I have installed WINE & some themes for mozilla. Did the script created the right ISO size? so do i need to uncompressed image.gz & usr_cram.fs? Or just proceed with the script?

wine has 8 mb, so the iso must have at least 60 mb
just boot the live cd (not Puppy on hd) , install wine and run sript , only this, nothing more !
the final iso must have more than 60 mb, if not, something did not work
