Subject description: easy-peasy		  
1) First, you will need to install 01micko's pet2sfs script.

2) Create a sfs folder inside any linux partition or...
if you are running a frugal install , you can also create the folder the linux filesystem. eg. the /root or /tmp folder.
- I must elaborate on this cause it's important. For example, I am running Puppy (frugal install) on sda1 which is a ntfs filesystem. If I create, a folder named /mnt/sda1/sfs, the permissions will get messed up because I created the sfs folder in the ntfs partition; it doesn't handle permissions the same way a linux partition does.
- to do this properly on a frugal install, what I usually do is create a /tmp/sfs folder.

3) copy all of the pets which you want to combine into the sfs folder you've created.

4) open up the terminal and change to the sfs folder you've created. For my example, I will use the /tmp/sfs folder. Enter the following code
Code:

cd /tmp/sfs
pet2sfs PackageName-1.0

Of course, "PackageName" can be any name that you choose.

5) After the sfs has been created, move it to the folder of your choice. You should then remove everything else in the /tmp/sfs folder.

6) The final step is to test your sfs to make sure it works.

The script can also convert a single pet into an sfs, but you have to name it different from the pet-name.
Done! Now that wasn't too difficult, right? Wink Enjoy.

Also, there is this, which can create an SFS or PET of combined PET files:

"This script combines your .PETs into a single .PET or .SFS file.
You will be asked to create a .PET file first, then a .SFS file
if no .PET was created. This script takes one argument - the
directory containing the .PETs that you want to combine into
a single package."

Code:
#!/bin/sh

if [ ! $1 ];then
   echo "No dir given. Usage: `basename $0` [directory]
   
Example: `basename $0` $HOME/myfiles

Info:

This script combines your .PETs into a single .PET or .SFS file.
You will be asked to create a .PET file first, then a .SFS file
if no .PET was created. This script takes one argument - the
directory containing the .PETs that you want to combine into
a single package.

"
   exit
fi

mkdir $1/pets
mkdir $1/files
for i in "$1/"* ; do # for each file in the given package dir
   # get filenames, and extensions, without paths
   export fullname=`basename "$i"`    # filename and extension
   export filename=${fullname%.*}    # filename, no extension
   export extension=${fullname##*.} # extension only
   tar -xzvf "$i" -C "$1/pets"
   # copy extracted contents (only the stuff inside the extracted folders) from $workdir into $basedir
   cp --preserve=all -f -v -r "$1/pets/$filename/"* "$1/files"
   # remove pet.spec files in $basedir
   rm -v "$1/files/"*"pet.specs"
done
rm -r -v $1/pets
rmdir $1/pets

REPLY="none"
# ask to create pet
[ -e `which dir2pet` ] && Xdialog --title "Pet Create" --yesno "Do you want to create new pet file of the pets you have extracted?" 0 0 && REPLY=$?
if [ "$REPLY" = 0 ];then
   petname=$(Xdialog --title "Name your pet" --stdout --inputbox "Choose a filename for your pet file" 0 0 "name-version.pet")
   mv $1/files $1/${petname%.*} # rename dir to $petname, without extension
   rxvt -e dir2pet $1/${petname%.*}
else
   # ask to make sfs file
   [ -e `which dir2pet` ] && Xdialog --title "SFS Create" --yesno "Do you want to create an sfs file of the pets you have extracted?" 0 0 && REPLY=$?
   [ "$REPLY" = 0 ] && rxvt -e dir2sfs $1/files
fi


Save the code in a shell script or blank file and make executable
that is, in the terminal:

chmod +x /path/to/the/file

Usage:

easypackage /path/to/dir/containing/petfiles/

Can someone post this on a puppy site so that we don't keep repeating:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=53241
It contains all info for ISO, sfs and pets using GUI tools only
