Fossapup64-9.5 adrv.sfs fdrv zdrv

[Fishy]

I can't find where to download them. Will Fossapup64 9.05sfs work?

They should be included into the .iso!

What are you trying to do????

Click on the iso. You will find these files on the iso.

Sorry if this is wrong placing I have similar question in another thread but not answered yet, I think I can change a new file into adrv or fdrv or other drv but which one?

adrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs has file conkyrc in /root but i want to change this file for different colors for ech person. So if I make new conkyrc file and put in fdrv or zdrv can it be high priority more than old version in adrv? Or is adrv the most priority? The other thread is experimental 'initrd' change with more drvs but still i must make sure my new file is only in the correct drv. No point to place the file in the wrong area. Can i be sure my file is more priority above the adrv old /root/conkyrc file?

Is this ok with original fossapup adv or fdrv or zdrv or must i use experimental?
thanks
Dash

Hello Dash,
is your experience with Puppy linux long? If not very long, please do not use some experimental stuff, use only the official releases of puppy (in your case Fossapup64 9.5).

Do you have Fossapup64 frugally installed already?
Can you boot it and run it without problem?
If yes, then you can do many interesting things with it.

But could you please more explain what are you trying to achieve with the conky?
Will your PC with Puppy be used by more people?

FYI in Puppy linux we use save folders or files. The changes (settings of almost everything e.g. conky, additional apps) can be saved to it and it will be booted the next time together with the basic system (your settings will persist there).

Dash, by posting here, you just did what is high jacking a topic.
Now you are trying to get us to talk about two completely different computers and setups.
Very hard to keep info correct about two different setups.

Start your own topic about your issue!!

Ok sorry for this.

Sorry again i found answer for adrv priority:

viewtopic.php?p=29171#p29171

"Just wanted to point out something amethyst mentioned here, viewtopic.php?p=29114#p29114:
"But doesn't Fossa already have an adrv for its applications? If the latter is the case, the applications' adrv should be renamed to an ydrv so that the newly created adrv for the configurations take preference."

"Well as we know this is a new and unique thing with Fossa having an existing adrv containing all its software ... Yes, the adrv option should be used in the Fossa scenario and renaming its existing adrv to an ydrv is the easiest way out."

adrv not need to download. Is already full in Fossapup but rename to an ydrv is the way to make new space for new configuration and document in adrv.

Fix!

I think most puppyists use a savefile/folder (I don't) which will contain their system changes, so in that case it will not be necessary to rename Fossa's adrv to a ydrv as the contents of a savefile takes preference to an adrv. My suggestion is applicable in those cases where you don't use a savefile but save your changes to an adrv instead.

@amethyst :-

'Kayyyy.... Why would config settings need to take precedence over the actual contents of the OS itself?

Might it be possible to modify your scripts to give the option of whether to name the SFS an "adrv" OR a "ydrv", depending on situations like this? It's entirely possible this MAY become standard practice, to place the bulk of a modern Puppy in a separate adrv. We're none of us exactly mind-readers; we can't really predict what direction Puppy development will end up heading in.

Is it not a bit pointless to apply settings BEFORE the OS itself is in fact loaded? I freely admit I'm no expert on this stuff; hence the query.

(*shrug...*)

Just curious, really.

Mike.

Not quite sure what you are trying to say. As it stands the order of preference is savefile then adrv then ydrv then base sfs. I think you will agree with me that system (hardware and software) user configurations should have preference to whatever is in the base sfs (a simple example like changing the background or saving your internet settings). Now, if you use a savefile, no problem because that always takes preference. Fossapup's software is included in an adrv (as far as I know, I don't use it). This adrv has preference over the base sfs (if there are any similar files in the base sfs, it will override it). So to cut a long story short - when you use a savefile, you will most probably never have a problem because any changes will override any other sfs file that is loaded. However - if you do not use a savefile the order of sfs's and the contents thereof becomes quite important. I don't use a savefile but save changes to an sfs which requires to be loaded "at the top of the pile" akin to a savefile. In this scenario you will want to save your settings to the sfs that has the "highest preference" and that is the adrv. Fossapup already has an adrv but the contents therof may as well be in the base sfs but because of its status as an adrv has higher preference. So it will make sense to rename that existing adrv (with the software) to a ydrv and save your system settings to an adrv if you don't use a savefile.
