I guess I'm turning into a newbie! In "puppy", when I open an iso of a pup to make the changes from "pmedia=cd" to "pmedia=usbflash", using "geany", it does not allow the changes.Upon clicking enter, I get a popup about truncated errors, and it does not allow the "save".
Therefore, when I use the"make frugal app" to install the iso I get error message.This has happened with me using (installed on flash frugals)FossaPup64, BionicPup64, and a few others.I didn't have this problem with the editing in the recent past. I'm kind of at a loss now.
Would sure appreciate some assistance.Thank you very much.

Re: Configuring grub.cfg
A concrete method
Open your ISO file via right-click
In ROX or your file-manager navigate to and open the grub.cfg and/or loopback.cfg.
Use a Geany or your file-editor to write your new changes into those file(s)
Save them in a NEW location/folder
Use isomaster (right-click on your ISO) to exchange the grub.cfg and/or loopback.cfg with the new file(s) that have your changes
save the new ISO that has your updated changes within
boot the new ISO or write it to external media; namely DVD or USB
This is the way I have always made my changes to ISO contents
Re: Geany won't modify grub.cfg
What a quick, and helpful answer; THANKS. When I got to your answer #3, I (finally) remembered how I had always done it before(not with geany). I opened a text editor as admin, made the changes, and saved it, no problems.BTW-I did reopen that grub.cfg and checked to make sure my changes were there. Once again, THANK YOU. I will mark this solved, and hope I remember next time.
