Is normal that bootinst.bat creates a file in the root of the device with the name: ldlinux.sys ?
This happened in RC8 (where was included the old bootinst.bat)

But this one http://puppeee.com/files/misc/bootinst.bat dont creates this file

Inside bootinstall.bat there is a line with the word Fluppy

Few pages before in this thread, somebody commented about a problem with bootinstall.bat in RC8
Jemimah answered that the solution was to replace this bootinstall.bat by the one in the link i posted

When i did this... an executed it... i realized that this ldlinux.sys file was not created (well... probably it was created, but outside of the filesystem as a "hidden boot block"... or this is what i thought in this moment)

Im not sure about how many versions of this bootinst.bat there are but all of them worked for me in windows xp

Edit:
It was this message

Ok, i thought that there was a problem with this bootinst.bat in windows vista or 7
As i said, in xp works fine

[jemimah]

I've been told it doesn't work at all in 7 (dunno about Vista). I updated the instructions to tell Win7 users to use Unetbootin.

I think so. I have to do the paperwork first and tell Barry.

I'm not sure if I have enough megabytes left on my aircard (evil AT&T will cut you off if you go over the limit) to do the upload to ibibio so I need to wait until Monday.

hi, (not sure if this is a puppy question or a puppee question) My firefox 3.6.3 cache file is growing bigger and bigger and eating up all my save file. The firefox limit is set to 50Mb, but it's gone well past that. I've read about linking the cache to a /tmp folder, but it would be nice to keep some cache of commonly used sites. Is there a way to limit the cache file size?

Also, firefox is asking me to update to version 3.8. Should I do it, or will it break puppeee things?

Apologies for cross-posting this one but I thought I might have a better chance of sorting this problem out here rather than in Beginners Help.

First thing I have to say is- great distro Jemimah!! I am hoping to use this as my main distro on my 1000H. But thats after I sort out the following problem

I have installed puppeee in a frugal install on sda5. Grub is now properly configured and tries to boot puppeee.At some point I get the following error message

psubdir=XXXXX is mandatory if you want to boot from a subfolder

***You can make non-permanent changes in grub lines by pressing "E" in the grub selector window***
e= edit/ edit line
d=delete line
b=boot

Try to do some changes this way... is fast and is not dangerous
