Re: Frugal install of Fossadog64 on fat32 flash drive slowww when using savefile

My mistake. As TerryH has proved, puppy offers to create savefile on that iso9660 (puppy shows it as sdb2 vfat partition) and it says it is creating the savefile (0 bytes in size) but obviously nothing happens. I will talk to my wife about spanking me, hard. There is still the problem of slow ...

Re: Frugal install of Fossadog64 on fat32 flash drive slowww when using savefile

You can DEFINITELY burn a puppy iso to USB flash (iso9660) and and save changes to it. When I look at the drive in gparted it shows it as format iso9660. When I look at it after creating a savefile I can see the pupsave.2fs in there. Somehow​ puppy is able to create this mini filesystem inside the i ...

Re: Frugal install of Fossadog64 on fat32 flash drive slowww when using savefile

Sure. I'm in Linux mint. I download fossadog64.iso. I used mkusb to burn iso to USB flash drive. I boot the flash drive. When I logout>shut down I'm asked if I want to create a savefile. I choose yes. So far this is EXACTLY the way puppy works. Now here is the difference between puppy and dog. When ...

Re: Frugal install of Fossadog64 on fat32 flash drive slowww when using savefile

My experience with puppy is it runs fine with savefile even on fat32. It will freak out and start hanging if the savefile is not on the same partition as your home folder (initrd).

Re: Frugal install of Fossadog64 on fat32 flash drive slowww when using savefile

So what I did this time was format USB with two partitions. First fat32, second ext2. I extracted the fossadog64 and copied folders: EFI, boot, casper and grub.cfg to the fat32 partition. I booted the USB drive uefi and again, everything was good and fast. I made some small changes and shut down ...

Re: Frugal install of Fossadog64 on fat32 flash drive slowww when using savefile

You cannot boot from an iso and create a savefile because iso is always mounted read only. You can not create a savefolder because the partition must be ext and the iso is of course iso9660.

Re: Bionicdog64 not creating savefile [SOLVED]

Would the menu.lst reside in / or fossa_dog/ or /fossu_dog/casper/ Also if this was on a USB flash rather than a hard drive would "root (hd0,0)" need to be substituted with "root (uuid=abc123whatever)" of the flash partition so it could be plugged into more than one pc (making it truly portable)?

Re: How to add "Trash" for root in Bionicdog?

I think what I better do is find a way to turn off auto login and log in as puppy rather than root. If I use the pulldown menu on pcmanfm and choose Go>Trash I get a error message "operation not supported".

Push comes to shove I guess I could create a custom command on the pulldown menu.
