How to make a custom live USB Puppy?

Post by CrazyblocksTech »

When I try to clone woof-CE, I get the Exec format error. I know this is caused by trying to use a binary compiled for AMD64 on i686.

Code: Select all

# git clone https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE.git -b testing
bash: /usr/bin/git: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Where is the .sfs file for 32-bit Bionic Pup, or what version of Puppy is best for making a custom Live USB image? I am new to using Puppy Linux and have a intermediate knowledge of UNIX-like operating systems. I am currently writing this from Puppy.

The uname -a output

Code: Select all

Linux puppypc23357 4.9.163-lxpup-32-pae #1 SMP Thu Mar 14 15:41:19 GMT 2019 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

you need to load the devx_upupbb_18.05.sfs file with Menu->Setup->SFS-Load-on-the-fly

the devx you can download through the QuickPet.
The system will then have the correct development tools and compiler setup.

Bionicpup32 8.0 does not have Quickpet.

You can get all the needed sfs packages from here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pu ... cpup32.htm
.
Depending on the sfs package you may have to do more than load it using sfs-load-on-the-fly.
After it's loaded, in a terminal (console) type:

Code: Select all

ldconfig

.
.

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
