Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Yes, a virtual desktop so if I want to open pale moon in virtual desktop 3, let's say maximized as an example.

Solved. I used my fstab file. Everything is fine now.

Does this allow fossapup to boot properly? I had to use Rufus in windows 10 to get fossapup to boot from a USB flash drive.

Same issue here. I have to manually start samba after every reboot. Any remedy on the horizon?

Thanks!!

Here are two screenshots of my Rufus formatted USB stick. Could I use these images to create another usb stick in puppy?

I tried the frugalpup installer mentioned in a post above. Didn't work. The usb stick would not boot. I created a new partition table ext4.

Rufus 3.1.4 ran fine for me. I'll try frugalpup installer and see if that works because for me Rufus is the only solution that really works! What is Rufus doing right that other Linux options like etcher don't?

Now how the heck did I forget to do a quickpet update? It's the first thing I do after creating a new save folder. Thanks for the reminder!!

Works now!

I don't use Windows so Rufus is out. I'm not sure what is going on with Ventoy. Maybe that's just the way it is. I'm unable to create a save file if I boot from a Ventoy stick.

I'll try your other two options. SG2D, ISObooter. Are they in the puppy package manager or other repos?

The ventoy solution works great!!

Now I have to figure out how to create my save folder on /mnt/sda4. What I want to do is boot from the ventoy usb stick and boot into my save folder on sda4. Is that possible?

When I reboot I don't see my save folder in sda4. What am I doing wrong?

The only way I was able to get fossapup to boot properly and it's pretty simple to do is create a Ventoy usb and then make sure the fossapup iso is on it. When I boot up it boots into fossapup. I wonder why it works this way? Might there be boot code that I can use in menu.lst or something related?

Thanks Done.

Thanks! but I am using ext2 on my fossapup usb stick. I totally reformatted this stick before using ext2.

Any idea where I should go from here?

Thanks again.

This is the error I get when I try to boot from the fossapup usb:

wee 0> find --set-root /grldr
(Ox 80.0)
wee 0> /grldr
wee 13>

Excellent suggestion! I will try that and post back!! Thanks for this suggestion!!! I really hope it works.

In bionic pup when I boot in RAM and am prompted to create a savefile/folder, I can save it wherever I want to. In Fossapup it seems the only place I can save it is the drive that fossapup is on. In my case, my usb stick. Is it possible to save elseshere like I can with xenialpup and bionicpup?

I forgot to mention that my computer is from 2008. I have no issues booting other USB sticks and it's only fossapup. bionic, and xenialpup boot just fine. I even tried other fossapup isos. Same thing.

Thanks but I remember reading on the forum another way of doing this using YASSM. I remember rcrsn51 had a way to have shares load automatically. I can't seem to find the article he posted a while back.

I am using Fossapup 9.5. I would like my samba shares to automount and require me to enter my passwords as well. How do I do this?

At the moment I have to go to YASSAM samba share search every time I boot into fossapup.
