Aitch, i could have posted message files showing scantily clad babes a long time ago,
i just thought it may have been frowned upon, especially by our lady members.

Open a terminal in WD1, (right click: Window > Terminal Here)
and enter:
cpio -iv < pupsta1

even cpio --help is saying

Examples:
# Copy files named in name-list to the archive
cpio -o < name-list [> archive]
# Extract files from the archive
cpio -i [< archive]
# Copy files named in name-list to destination-directory
cpio -p destination-directory < name-list

but after learning that 'patch -i' is the same as 'patch <' I always just tried `cpio -iv PIC` which didn't worked .
I want grub to go because the 'extlinux.conf' entries seems not to be overwriteable. Mine extlinux.conf on USB Flash looks like
Quote:
default puppy
display boot.msg
prompt 1
timeout 150

F1 boot.msg
F2 help.msg

label puppy
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash pfix=ram debug panic=60 pkeys=de

which seems to boot in debug mode even if I adjust the Kernel command line.
It will take me some days to get it working I think, but thank you very much !

Hey, c'mon mikeb, there are at least half a dozen of us that i can think of, offhand, probably heaps more though...and i can only imagine what you and our resident reprobate, Aitch, might've asked Santa for this past Christmas Shocked
(j/j, Aitch)

The graphix menu worked like a charm on a full install, but since trying many puppies and settling on a mijnpup Frugal install I was temporarily baffled with combining gfxmenu to Grub4Dos and the alternative complexity of Grub2 booting a Frugal install..

Thanks to CatDude for all his hard word on this gfxmenu project and the hint from mikeb i got the deal under control and found that Grub2 was totally unnecessary Smile

A Frugal Puppy Install (mijnpup in this case)
Run the latest Grub4Dos
placed the message.pup16 gfxmenu to the same location as the grub menu and loader eg /home
then edited the menu, adding the Global comments and the gfxmenu line eg.

-----------------------------------------<>-------------------------------------

# menu.lst produced by grub4dosconfig-v
#
# Start GRUB global section
color white/blue black/cyan white/black cyan/black
timeout 5
default 0
gfxmenu /message.pup16
# End GRUB global section

# Frugal installed Puppy
title mijnpup 520
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /mijnpup520/initrd.gz
kernel /mijnpup520/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=mijnpup520
initrd /mijnpup520/initrd.gz

# additionals

# title Grub4Dos commandline\n(for experts only)
# commandline

title Reboot computer
reboot

# title Halt computer
# halt

-----------------------------------------<>-------------------------------------


Frugal puppy + grub4Dos + gfxmenu = awesome!!

[img]http://db.tt/3HiG6mB[/img] Ok now what's up with that!!

meanwhile... here it is uploaded instead Smile

Thanks Very Happy
