(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

What a let down, I wasn't expecting this sort of incompatibility that is often mentioned as an "alternative" or rescue option for Windows. There should at least be a visible notice about during the burning process.

We are working towards compatibility.
Is Microsoft doing the same?

Version 4.0.0
See main post

Changelog
- cdrtools 3 is the only supported backend. cdrkit is not supported anymore.
- Burn discs compatible with Windows XP/7/8 (thanks to Ted Dog and JamesBond).
- Filesystem options is completely reorganized.
- UDF is removed as burning option for data-burning. isolevel 4 is used instead.
- Set option -shorttrack as default for copying audio-CD.
- Scalable Burn-options dialog.
- Improved support of non-Puppy systems.
--- Replaced 'ps' with 'ps -eo pid,command' to support full (non-busybox) ps command (thanks to 01micko)
--- Use 'type' instead of 'which'. (thanks to 01micko)
- Gui refinements for burn-options-tabs Burner-device and Publish.

I'm really unlucky for having missed this change by 2 days. Being a simple home user, I would expect this sort of issues in 90s software, not anymore.

Version 4 includes as small changes as possible. I had not the intention to do things a new way this time. pBurn is too stable to rewrite code.

The only main thing is that this release supports windows XP/7/8. To get this going I had to reorganize the filesystem options - that's all.

NOTE!
This release require cdrtools-3. This is included in Slacko and FatDog, but I don't think Barry has switched from cdrkit.

For future reference, can anybody tell us what the combination of burn options was that Windows was unable to read? I've never managed to burn a disk that Windows couldn't read...

I "think" there were UDF issues.

Oh, OK. When I tried udf (burning from Windows) I had problems mounting it on Linux, not Windows... except the newer udf format used by default since I think Vista wasn't compatible with XP. But if that is the issue we're talking about then "supports windows XP/7/8" is misleading (it certainly confused me ), because it should be fine on 7/8, just not XP.

until cdrtools-3, I have never been able to burn a disc in pBurn that has been readable in recent Windows. Windows 95/98 matched isolevel 3 in mkisofs and in combination with -J and --joliet-long, this worked well. Windows XP is supported via isolevel 4 (extended isolevel 2), and this has not been available in pBurn until version 4.

I just tried to download the latest version (4.0) of Pburn, and got a page that says simply "this account has been suspended"

What's up with that?

In the browsers and internet part of this forum I am playing with the possibilities of using puppy as a server.

Now it would be nice to be able to just hook up a hdd full of music to a puppy computer which is online and stays home and then play my music collection on some mobile device over the internet.

Now of course I can download music in this way, and then play it on the mobile device, but that is not what I want. I want to be able to use, for instance, pMusic on the computer which stays home and then listen to it via internet using the mobile device.

So some kind of cooperation between, say, hiawatha and pMusic would be wowie. Is that difficult to do?

Just tried to download latest copy of p-burn = 4.00

Unable to proceed??

First run of version 4.0...

Dependencies window in Raring. Raring does have version 0.8.3
installed, but window says it's missing.

I concur, default puppy builds need to be updated, found Slacko and FatDog64 works nicely booting on a single Fully loaded Bluray with the newer tools and settings.

In the past I have used the command line tool to add additional files to an existing multisession CD/DVD.

• Can PBurn be used to do similar when one wants to add files to an existing DVD that is multisession?

Thanks in advance

Yes
pBurn can write external sessions to a multisession disc!

BUT, it is recommended that the burn-options (filesystem options) are equal for each session. In pBurn 4, this should be even easier, since it is likely that you will use the default filesystem (isolevel 4 which is compatible with Linux, Mac and Windows XP/7/8 ).
