Doing rEFInd manually is working fine.
Loading SFS it's not.
Still searching for a way to do it since the hyperlink I posted suggests it's possible.

Hi, I've already setup a SFS file comprised of some software and can load it successfully from the control panel/menu | System | System SFS Loader. It would be even better if I could load the SFS file in the boot process. Tried two entries in refind.conf using the parameter extrasfs as mentioned at ...

The system is 64 bits: # getconf LONG_BIT 64 I don't have data about the filesystem of the second partition as it was formatted with btrfs, but from the third inside LUKS, it's this: # tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/dmcrypt0 tune2fs 1.47.0 (5-Feb-2023) Filesystem volume name: <none> Last mounted on: /aufs/p...

As promised, I formatted the second partition of the USB stick to btrfs (from ext4 previously) and could boot from all of the rEFInd entries (Linux0-Linux4): Entry Linux5 is for the first partition (vfat). menuentry "Fatdog64 Linux0" { icon /EFI/boot/icons/os_fatdog.png volume PUPPIES init...

The two locations provide different sets of drivers. While the first one has no ntfs driver, the second one has a ntfs driver. Indeed. They're from different versions. The ones from efiboot.img are usually older, but when I remember I update them from time to time. You can try either ones. But plea...

@libertas it really has me stumped as well. As per your first option I have it working this way on an old and a new laptop from their internal hard drives. The same setup on a flash drive will not work. It's like it doesn't recognise the volume, label name, of the second ext4 partition. Like you it...

libertas

I asked a question some posts before that got forgotten.
Is it possible to load a savefolder or save file after the boot has been done?
Since this is the upper layer, it probably is.
So, to rephrase, is there a tool to do this?

libertas

I tried all these options: menuentry "Fatdog64 Linux" { icon /EFI/boot/icons/os_fatdog.png volume PUPPIES initrd /FD901/initrd loader /FD901/vmlinuz } menuentry "Fatdog64 Linux1" { icon /EFI/boot/icons/os_fatdog.png volume PUPPIES initrd \FD901\initrd loader /FD901/vmlinuz } menu...

libertas

If you're running Fatdog64, copy /usr/share/refind-bin-0.13.3.1/refind/drivers_x64/ (the entire folder) to /EFI/Boot (in your vfat formatted partition), then try again. If you're not running Fatdog64, you can find the same drivers_x64 folder inside efiboot.img. The two locations provide different s...

Another question. I could boot from rEFInd as suggested by smokey01 using the FATDOG_LIVE uefi vfat formatted partition, like so: menuentry "Fatdog64 Linux" { icon /EFI/boot/icons/os_fatdog.png volume FATDOG_LIVE initrd \FD901\initrd loader /FD901/vmlinuz } Then, I tried to boot from the s...

libertas

Forgot to say that as of now, when shutting down or rebooting, there's no option for me to choose between saving or not saving to the savefile/dir. When using the default ISO this option used to prompt me. How can I enable this? Fatdog will not ask this question when it thinks that the savefile has...

No worries. To close the loose ends, were you finally able to boot Fatdog on that Dell laptop, using the refind method that @smokey01 suggested? If yes, it may be worthwhile for us to update the FAQ.

I could boot the installed FatDog, yes.

Hi, I used the suggestion from the other thread https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11632 about configuring refind.conf. FatDog boots fine, but as is there's no option for me to choose to load the savefile/dir or not. It seems that refind should load isolinux.cfg or some grub config file. T...

Hi, I was able to install FatDog in my desktop computer and to boot from this USB stick A save directory was created and is being loaded. The installed FatDog from the USB stick also boots from the Dell laptop where the problems booting the ISO file were insurmountable. Regarding the ISOBooter, I tr...

Hi smokey01 , Thank you for your detailed help. I much appreciate it. It would be nice that the text you've written could be part of Fatdog help or some FAQ. The concept of Puppy/Fatdog is very nice, much work was and continue to be done by the developers, but it is so confusing to have a setup... I...

libertas

@libertas Somewhere on a vfat or fat32 partition you should have the following directory /EFI/boot/refind.conf Make an entry like below in refind.conf. menuentry "FD901 EFI" { icon /EFI/boot/icons/os_fatdog.png volume "PLAY" loader /901/vmlinuz initrd /901/initrd options "s...

libertas

Yes, it's indeed risky to deal with bootloaders.

Thank you for the explanation jamesbond.

libertas

Hi @jamesbond ,

So, this seems to be in contrast with what happens with puppies that encourage side-by-side installations of several of them.

Any reason for FatDog not to want this kind of promiscuosity?

libertas

Hi @smokey01 ,

Now, running from Devuan:

Hi, I could boot the ISO from the Ventoy USB stick in a desktop computer. I'd like to install FD901 to another USB stick so that I could use it in two computers.

libertas

Hi @Clarity,

Sorry, but I could not continue to answer.

The Ventoy version I use is 1.0.96.

The FD901 can boot from the Ventoy USB stick when run from a desktop computer.
So, it's really some mismatch between FD and this Dell laptop.

libertas

Hi Clarity, This is doesn't seem to be a Ventoy problem, because I dd'ed the FD901 ISO file to another USB stick and it doesn't boot, too. Same issue. I checked the md5sum of 901 and 814 and both are fine: $ md5sum Fatdog64-*.iso 216d4729e16d40e1c8f7e941ecc60889 Fatdog64-814.iso 6c53f424c5ab6d9916e6...

Hi, I've read about FatDog and its features and would like to try it. Copied the 901 iso hybrid ISO file to a Ventoy powered USB stick.

I can do a screen recorder video so as to show what happens.

After another login, I chose the option of a save file and the script is offering this:

So, it's not offering to save inside the frugal directory as it didn't too for the save directory.
