'Remaster livecd'' & 'Save to file'
Posted: Sun 17 Oct 2010, 23:12
Hi all,
I've spent the last three days remastering 3.01 White Fang and was real pleased with the result (Opera, Dillo, MOCP, 28 games and more - 54MB) when I noticed something I've never seen nor read about in the Forum. At the first shutdown/reboot opportunity it reports this: "No suitable partitions to save to". My hard drive has three partitions plus a swap partition: hda1 - hda4 and it doesn't "see" any of them. The Remastering live-cd process exhibits the same problem - the only partition it now offers is RAM. I'm pretty sure this is my fault because during the dozen or so "remasterings" this didn't happen. But I do recall a couple iterations ago (~ 4 a.m.) this problem surfaced and I dismissed it as an anomaly. But now I realize it wasn't. Here's what it does correctly: pmount recognizes/mounts all partitions, partview reports all mounted partitions, pdisk "sees" them too.
In the course of stripping/adding applications I must have inadvertently impacted this critical feature. Creating a Save File is a real plus for Puppy and normally so easy to do. I'd hate to have to start all over if it's something relatively easy that I've overlooked. At this point I'm stumped! Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
