please take a step back. you seem to be defining what puppy should be by how it is done,
not what it does.

trying to make a minimal core that can be added to with sfs files and why sfs files? what if sfs files were no longer the best way to do what puppy/dog has been using sfs's to acomplish anymore? In all this discussion about what is and what is not "puppy", I have been trying to identify t...

Not being familer with how the different build scripts work, I wish to ask if building the initrd is scripted or needs special expertise and attention by the dev.
for
debian dog?
Puppy?
Easy?
KL's?

I have not rebooted yet because it is a real hassle to re-configure all of my settings every single time . Can you say why re-booting would have any effect on the problem, Thanks. the app may not be able to display correct info if disks have been mounted or unmounted since boottime with any issue, ...

Any ideas?

did you follow the reboot advice wiz57 gave 2 posts above?

try

search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set bf498d22-5de5-49a5-951e-5ac6b01e4489

if you hit e in the boot menu it will let you try various configs without having to do edits and reboots

For the file, /etc/grub.d/40_custom, I added the following without any braces: you would then need to run the proper command for the grub2 install in an Alpine terminal. the two links show a slightly different command to run. you might google around for the difference Then I ran Grub2Config bootloa...

Use Alphine's application to customize grub.cfg when alpine is updated, it will run scripts that update the alpine grub2 menu. It will not write a proper Puppy menu entry. try putting your puppy menu entry in Alpines /etc/grub.d/40_custom https://gist.github.com/drmalex07/e9c44b9760b19c6211bc grub2...

Could I just use a folder for its install and share the same hard disk? What do I need to do in the boot menu? Thanks generally speaking of dualboots with windows, I prefer to use a dedicated disk for linux. that said, Alpine should be easy to work with if you want to put a frugal on the same disk....

Boot files for bookworm are located in sda1 and I'm trying to boot it from the same bookworm folder as attached in 2nd screenshot of last Post. Here f96 is folder of fassopub which works fine but don't know why bookworm not working. I also tried making a bootable USB using frugal install utility of...

your working puppy is installed on a CD and runs in ram. when you make an install on the HD, it also can run in ram. dding a cd to the hd is not the best way foreward. as flora mae mentioned, look for puppyinstaller in the menu when booted with the cd if you have problems, maybe ask at https://forum...

As I understand it, if I have a dedicated Linux backup drive that is ext3, then I could use it for both savefiles and savefolders. So maybe I need to buy another USB for that purpose alone. you could partition your backup disk with a fat32 partition sized to meet your file transfer to/from windows ...

I do not have notecase installed, so could not test in notecase, but I did a copy and paste and then saved with .html extension and it opened in chromium

williwaw

the only people who need fat32 are windows users and those wishing to boot using UEFI.
why would you need fat32 for backup?

williwaw

I see sda1,2,3,5, in your screenshots which would likely be your c; "drive" and other partitions on your main disk

are you trying to boot bookworm from the same drive or maybe some other media perhaps connected by usb, that would be seen as sdb4?

williwaw

are you using debian, and want to keep debian grub2 maintained and continue to use grub-update for use with your debian install? there are a few different ways besides installing debian to get grub2 installed, and many here at puppy simply write their own grub.cfg entries and do not use grub-update ...

williwaw

I just got Puppy 32 installed in a VM on a newer notebook have you considered a frugal install to the internal drive of either machine https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5314 This all makes Puppy Linux more flexible to use than almost any other operating system. With its small size it can...

Hello @williwaw I am not sure what you are posting. a request for you to follow up on a previous assertation made https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=115429#p115429 and an observation about current AI usages.

Now I figure if I can avoid FAT32 altogether on my internal partitions, it ought to save a lot of headaches. you will most likely want a fat32 partition at the beginning of the drive to enable UEFI booting. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/633651/why-grub-for-efi-is-still-installed-on-fat32

williwaw

Can that be done? possibly, make a save, be sure to record all information about the filename and the path to where the save is made edit the proper bootloader config file to point fossa to that save your mileage may vary if the drive is corrupted. if so, you will want to copy all files you desire ...

williwaw

The question is: If I remove all fossasaves, will I then be able to rebootwith my current configuration. no, in order to reboot with your current config you will need for fossa to find that particular configuration. you could remove extraneous saves temporaliy to a USB which is not plugged in at bo...

Gov looks like you have a boot loader working (BTW, what is the bottom pic of? I do not recognize the app from the screenshot) I suggest that you install a puppy/dog/easy or whatever to a folder in an ext3 or 4 partition and see if you can get your boot setup to recognize it as a choice at boot time...
