ok. thanks for the info. I will be using your latest script. The script tells me to uncompress images.gz & usr_cram.fs. Will I just ignore this, right?

hmm...
what folder did you choose for remaster ?
by default the script opens folder /mnt and will create /mnt/remaster but you can easily choose another with the mouse
maybe you should mount a partition on hd with enough free space (about 300 mb) and choose it for remaster folder

I have no choice but to delete my pup001 in my windows partition and back to zero again. Install service pack & ROX 2.2.0 + icons, add some themes for mozilla. Then, I will run your script again. I'll update you...
Thanks!
I am running on live cd.

please, don't do it !
the partition on hd must be a linux parttition (ext2 , ext3 or reiserfs)
if you have only one windows partition I will tell you another method in the next post...

Hi Henrique! Sorry I just deleted my PUP001.
Well, I booted my Live CD again & lo & behold, back to where I started. Wow, what I waste if time. Well, it's not exaclty a waste but I did learned a lot.
Got to start from scratch again. Downloading dotpups...

To all script users:
here is a new version of script that is very fast
the main difference is that now only the changes to /usr are compressed (to usr_more.sfs), original usr_cram.fs remains untouchable
the script also looks for usr_devx.sfs on / to include on cd, so if you want it on remaster put the file there
in fact, I have not tested the new script yet , I'm without blank cd-r(s)
so test it at your own risk if you are curious
To Gliezi only:
you said that you have 128 mb of ram and no linux partitio, maybe the windows partition has few space too
so I made a special version to you, it's the same of above, the only difference is that the remaster folder will be in /mnt/remaster (in ramdisk) but the puppy.iso will be created in /root (file pup001 in the windows partition)
I'm supposing that you have about 70mb free space on /root
if it not work tell me what happened and post the result of command df -m , ok ? good luck girl
ps. as I said above the script is different from the previous and I could not test it yet on real burning and booting

Thanks for the customized script!
It created an ISO in the /root folder about 115MB. But when I burned the ISO and boot it on a working PC (have not tasted puppy before), this is the result...
Loading vmlinuz ....................................................
Loading image.gz ...................................................................
After that no more. I've waited for 5-10 minutes, nothing. Burned the ISO to CD using BurnCCDC at 4x. I can even check the ISO file using Isoedit. Jujst fine. Could it be a bad burn?

I suppose not but we have to find what went wrong
mount the cd-r you have burned
what you see ?
it must have the following files:
goofy.16
boot.cat
boot.msg
isolinux.bin
isolinux.cfg
usr_cram.fs
usr_more.fs
image.gz
now we will look if image.gz, usr_cram.fs and usr_more.sfs are not corrupted
we will mount each of them to test
create a folder "test" in /root : mkdir /root/test
look in what folder cdrom is mounted (/mnt/cdrom,/mnt/cdrom2,sr0 it may vary)
let's say that cd-rom is mounted on /mnt/cdrom2 (confirm it)
do this command:
mount -o loop /mnt/cdrom2/usr_cram.fs /root/test
take a look in folder /root/test, it has to be identical to folder /usr
now do:
umount /root/test
mount -o loop /mnt/cdrom2/usr_more.sfs /root/test
look inside /root/test and look for wine, it has to be there
now do:
cp /mnt/cdrom2/image.gz /root
gunzip /root/image.gz
mount -o loop /root/image /root/test
look in /root/test/root0/.mozilla, search by name your mozilla themes in subdirectories, they have to be there
umount /root/test
if all was ok we can say that files are not corrupted, the problem is other...
verify also the sizes of image.gz and usr_more.sf and tell me in your next post

WOW! Enormous amount of information. Thank you Henrique. I just used your custom made script for me just once. Yet I'm not successful with that. I tried your script (the one without SCSI Emul) that one worked. First I borrowed an empty hard drive and format it to EXT2. Then told script to put remaster files on that hard drive. All went well . I will be uploading a screeshot soon. My problem is that I already exceeded maximum requirement or Forum won't allow anymore.
Again, thanks Henrique!
P.S. Will this remaster able to install to hard-disk?

On my first remaster, my error is that it stop at this message;
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Then on my second remaster, my error message is;
No space left on device
I think the image.gz cannot fit to RAM.
This is the result df -m
I added Mozilla themes, wine, VNC, & Rox 2.3 & Yahoo Messenger clone. I moved the /root/my-applications directory to /usr and created a symlink to /root and I used your remaster script (no SCSI emul)
Any advice?

Just curious. How will I know what to put in the ramdisk_size parameter in isolinux.cfg after the image.gz compressed? Especially if I will not use PUP001 wherein you cannot save your settings...
What will I do?
