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
I haven't been able to make a bootable usb-flash with Bootflash in
the latest Lupu versions; but Bootflash in my Fluppy install (contains
the ldlinux file) works great.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
Full installs
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

You want the ldlinux.sys file. The buggy script is the one that does not create it. Note that this file is hidden by default in windows so you might not see it.sandungas wrote:Is normal that bootinst.bat creates a file in the root of the device with the name: ldlinux.sys ?

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

This also happened with RC8. Any thoughts?eee-504.sfs not found.Dropping out of initial-ramdisk console...

I'm not sure about the cache question. Updating may or may not work. I've had issues in the past. I will make a Firefox 3.8 SFS this week.simon1482 wrote: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.

Trying to fix bootinst.bat
In this one http://puppeee.com/files/misc/bootinst.bat .... and the one included in V1 (different, but both has the same code lines) there are 2 spaces between -maf ...&... %DISK%:
Maybe this 2 spaces are the culpit of the broken installer in vista/7 ?¿?¿
I been looking at some different booinst.bat you did because im sure at least one of them dont creates this (hidden) ldlinux.sys file in the root of the device
At least the one included in RC2 creates the file in this subfolder \boot\syslinux\ldlinux.sys using this command line:
Maybe this file is needed inside this path in vista/7 ?¿?¿
I have no idea about syslinux, but it seems that the -d modifyer is needed to set the folder where this ldlinux.sys file is created
Take a look at this bug report from other distro as an example where a bad syntaxis of -d modifyer, the root is used to create the file

Code: Select all
\boot\syslinux\syslinux.exe -maf %DISK%:
