See page 19 for details on MultiPup 6.0..
## Update: Smokie01 and Catdude have the most recent updates of MultiPup with many improvements relating to newer Puppies: Direct links here:
MultiPup for Fatdog:
http://www.smokey01.com/software/Fatdog ... 64-4.2.pet
MultiPup 5.0:
http://www.smokey01.com/software/Fatdog ... up-5.0.pet
From 1 to ??? Puppies, on 1 CD/DVD/USB...
@From the included readme...
Instructions for use:
Only for ext2/ext3 filesystems...
D/L and unpack anywhere on your hard drive,
## outside of your pupsave ##
and where you have twice the size of your intended ISO free..
IE..for a 700mb ISO you will need 1.4bg j space..
After you have unpacked MultiPup, click on it
to open the MultiPup GUI...
If you try to run MultiPup from a non ext2/ext3 filesystem, (ie ntfs/fat)
a warning message will alert you and MultiPup will stop..
When you click the MultiPup icon, a GUI will open, with 6 buttons..
The first 3 buttons each open a directory for you to symlink ISO`s / Pets / SFS files into..
# Currently only series 3 or above Puppies are supported.. See below.#
Symlink your ISOs, Pets, and SFS files and then click "OK"
Absolute "hard" linking only...
The 4th button opens the Bootsplash Chooser..
Choose a splash image and click "OK"
On first run, there is no default splash image, so you must choose one...
The 5th button lets you check your current ISO size..
Be sure that for a CD, your ISO`s and files do not total > 700mb
For DVD`s it is < 4gb I believe...
After you have symlinked your Puppies into /isos,
the 6th and last button will Create your ISO image,
and create a custom grub menu for each Puppy...
On the second tab are 4 buttons: Readme, Reset, Install and View..
Readme opens this file..
Reset returns MultiPup to its original state..
Install creates a pet customized for wherever you put MultiPup..
It makes a menu entry under Utility, desktop file, a script in /usr/local/bin, and registers with the Package Manager..
If you move MultiPup, you must uninstall the pet and re-run the Install program from the new location,
and then install the newly created pet..
As long as the MultiPup directory isnt moved, the same pet will "install" MultiPup on multiple Puppy installs. "Reset" does not delete the Pet..
The View button opens the MultiPup directory.
Wait for the "Your ISO is Created in dvdsource" message..
A rox window will open showing your ISO.
You will then be prompted to enter a name for your ISO in the box and click OK
After you name your ISO, an index file will be created in dvdsource along with yourr ISO, and on the CD/DVD as well..
After moving your ISO out of /dvdsource, click "OK"
Click "reset" in the GUI to delete /dvdsource and /files from the MultiPup directory,
and the symlinks from isos, pets, and sfs..
You are all reset to do another...
