You may use regular computer and using fatdog tool remaster so sfs is removed from initrd.gz and mounted separately. Second you can run fatdog64 in a sandbox within fatdog64 which is much faster than virtualbox without the added over head. There is also a second method that offers virtual fatdog64 that is slower but secure since it only runs virtual fatdog64 as main is resting. There are many ways pure linux that doesn't need the virtualbox environment. Real linux servers do not use virtualbox to virtualize. Have fun. But if you get bulldog prompt something is short on resources. Check FAQ in Fatdog64 browser homepage for answers to your questions.

I use Virtualbox for casting

#622 Post by Pelo »

Well understood. I use Virtualbox for casting, a first selection. There are so many distros. Fatdog is a 64 bits Puppy. (Already installed in one of my pendrives)
In fact i was testing a screen cast program under Windows, and i choose a Fatdog ISO of my tool case, because FatDog is worth of a video on You Tube (boot scripts).
Nevertheless i did'nt found this password on Fatdog documentation, they say type 'fatdog' for user, but blank as password is refused.

Imagine that your are a non speaking english person, not a linuxian, what would you do after a hard day at work, arriving at home, Would you read all the english documentation ? :) Don't mind....

I think JamesBond is Italian but could be wrong, if that helps Kirk is a Floridan which is a subset of Southern US with heavy Yank and Caribbean influences

Image I would choose a distro which has localization.

Maybe Fatdog64-701 is what you need?
Documentation (and something else) has yet to be translated by you.

Files Disappearing on reboot

#626 Post by chapchap70 »

I compiled Hiawatha 10.2 and installed some files into /usr/local/var/www/ I also unpacked Banshee there. On a reboot, the directories remain but not the files in those directories. I did notice some error when booting; something to the effect of "cannot stat /var something or other, no file or directory" The message flashes too quick for me to see the whole thing.

What am I doing that causes this? Would this happen on the newer Fatdogs, I am using 631.

Haha, I'm surprised that 600 series is still alive.

You may be using an older Fatdog (the latest 631 SFS, but probably older kernel/initrd)? Earlier Fatdogs (earlier than June 2013) deletes everything under /var and /usr/local/var/ and only keeps the directories. Fatdog 621 has this problem, 630 onwards not. In 630 and newer, only /var/cache, /var/lock, /var/locks/ and /var/run (and their /usr/local/var/ variants) are cleaned out.

No, see above.
