savefile2dir 1.6 - Convert savefile to savefolder

Post by bigpup »

savefile2dir 1.6
Convert savefile to savefolder

Note:
The save folder can only be made and used on a Linux format. (ext 2, 3, or 4)

This is the old forum topic:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=96472

Version 1.4 is good for any newer versions of Puppy.

Version 1.6 is for old versions of Puppy.
specifically for older puppies whose savefile contains "/dev/null". It uses "tar" to copy the files, not "cp".

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

Just to clarify, code in 'shutdownconfig' indicates that a "save-folder" is also available on other "LInux" filesystems,
i.e. "reiserfs, minix, btrfs, f2fs" as well as the ext ones.
(That's why 'f2StickPup' produces a usb stick with a second partition formated with "f2fs", and installs Puppy to it.)
