Remaster Puppy Classic fails to make iso

[gychang]

BookwormPup64 is nice. I am trying to make a remaster iso with my apps and configuration using the builtin app. I can see it creates Puppy Remaster and Tmp folders are created as expected and after I confirm to make an iso. Nothing happens and iso is never made. Anyone note the same problem?

This is not a problem. For the utility to make a bootable iso there must be a bootloader present, eg. isolinux.bin or grub. You need to copy at least one of these two files (and its configuration file) from the official, original iso or search for it in your current system and copy it when you are prompted to do so by the application. There are also other files that needs to be copied over, please read the application's instructions. Basically, you need to copy over all the files that are in the officially released iso (except for the old base sfs and other files that may now be included in the new remastered base sfs) to make an iso. Note that you can also use the traditional Remaster Puppy Live-CD in the menu to do the remaster. The latter application will require you to mount the official released iso so that it can copy the necessary files off it automatically which are required to make the final iso. Also - do you actually need to make an ISO? If you already have a frugal install, you only need to replace the old base sfs with the new remastered base sfs. Again - click the help button of the utility and read thoroughly before using the utility and also the prompts whilst doing the remaster...

Unfortunately, Bookworm Pup64 does not have that utility in the menu. You can run it from the terminal.
