Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Last time I made an experiment about booting Puppy using systemd

https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=117756

Somehow it works but it has many errors upon shutdown process.

When I revisited this experiment. I made a breakthrough. I able to boot a puppy-fied ubuntu distro with extreme minimal changes (but it requires modifications on init script, puppy boot script, and shutdown script). It boots like puppy, works like ubuntu, and shutdown like puppy and even able to make savefile at first shutdown.

I revisit this experiment, because I was thinking of a script that works the same as @wiak 's first ribit but with traditional puppy setup.

I will release the preview iso soon to show the proof of concept.

I finally made it. I decide to change strategy how to make savefile creation work on Puppy. It now prompts on boot whether to create a savefile or not then a config file was created and it will read by Puppy shutdown during shutdown without any user interaction.

I use Manjaro as sample for the experiment due to able to trimmed down to smaller size and here is the sample that I made
