fyi: Tested on Lucid Puppy 5.2.8, PUPMODE=7 --> NOT working

[shinobar]

thanks puppynoob101 and thkn777 for the report.
I could reproduce the failure with PUPMODE=7.

Currently it does not support PUPMODE=7 (saving session in entire partition on a flash device).
Use the bootmanager to load sfs.
But i recommend to make a fresh install and save your session in a file to make PUPMODE=13, not to the entire partition.

EDIT: sfs_load v.1.3 supports PUPMODE=7, but i still recommend saving your session in a file(so that the PUPMODE=13), not to the partition.

I have updated Russian translation for sfs_load.

also have you seen, SFSdirloader, seems like SFSLoad has a similar function?

Yes but as I remember????? SFSdirloader does not work on all puppies.

I had to do very time consuming manual editing for it to work on my lupu513 that actually are a Snow Puppy 5. And I have forgotten how
to do it again if I would need to add anything.

So I would instead recomment either Shinobar's load on the fly
or Seaside's SFS-Exec which is more manual but that one can fail too
and it has no error checking. One can load same file twice and it would
not complain about it. One have to keep track of what one have loaded
and not using pencil or pen or memory or write it on some notes digitally

seems like sfsdirloader isn't reliable, have you had good experience with SFSLoad?

may take SFSdirloader off wiki filesystem page here-

There is a problem with the way some SFSs are packaged

SFS-jre-1.7.0.01-20111027.sfs

and

google-earth_6.2.2074.sfs

see thread:-

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=586949#586949

The permission setting breaks CUPS, is there a way SFS Load could detect and even work around this problem?

I haven't seen a Spanish translation for this app. Just in case, I made one

EDIT

Checked and had to correct a couple of mistakes, if you use the former file users will believe they're unloading an SFS when they're actually downloading one from the Internet. Please use this file instead.

Sorry, I had to correct a couple of lines in the Spanish locale See the corrected version two posts above.

This is the Portuguese translation:

[PenguinPupLin]

Sfs_load-1.3 on-the-fly failed to load the devx and kernel source files for Classic Pup 214X-TOP9, after informing unionfs support is experimental.
