as far as i can tell..
if you want to run .sfs files on your full hd install, one must mount the .sfs then copy its contents to your regular linuxish install.
this was post written very step by step. our author wrote this pertaining to 3.01 release but it should work in most, if not all modern puppys

get the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file to look like this
Code: Select all
#v2.13
#dougal suggested this:
[ ! -d /proc/acpi ] && modprobe apm
#needed to be able to mount squashfs on full hd install
modprobe squashfs
# end of update

make a new directory in "/", desertpuppy likes to use "/data" i like to use "/devx" you can use whatever you like.
then mount your .sfs (which should be in "/")
Code: Select all
#mount -o loop devx_301.sfs /data
Code: Select all
cp -a -v --remove-destination /data/* / >devcopy.txt
Code: Select all
#umount /data
#sync
if it tells you bad command, you do not have devx
if it tells you no input files, you have installed devx and can compile.
ive been doing this with versions 214, 215, 217, 300, 301
mounting and installing .sfs files such as webp2p, web, lighthouse expansions, nop and open office, and all the devx's.
you may want to match up version #'s by renaming the file before you mount it.
you may want to read devcopy.txt and see what has been installed (this is the file you created when you ran you "cp" command above)
you may want to drop out of x and run a "fixmenus" command if you have installed things that have menu entries.
