I finally found a version of isomaster where everything worked and wrote this tutorial to do a full manual remaster using only GUI tools

all you need is a running puppy and an existing iso
Check out my [url=https://github.com/technosaurus]github repositories[/url]. I may eventually get around to updating my [url=http://bashismal.blogspot.com]blogspot[/url].

I don't think so :roll:

Well then, if you read what i posted,
you will see that i said:
CatDude wrote: Create a directory (in this example i used testcd)
Now copy ALL of the files from whatever Puppy ISO you are going to use, EXCEPT the file boot.cat into that directory
and if you also look at the first image i posted new-iso-contents.png
you will see that the file isolinux.bin is there (the green one).
It is one of the files from the ISO we copied the files from.

As for the boot.cat file, that is created when the mkisofs command is run, and will be inside of the new ISO.
You can see this for yourself by looking at the third image i posted new-iso-in-qemu.png

Hope this helps
