Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I'm intending to put three initrd directories in a .sfs:

pup_ro1
pup_rw
pup_a

ro1 copies to a USB with file errors. It apparently made a .sfs successfully with PackIt.

The copy was an attempt to combine all three directories. Instead I just have a .sfs of ro1.

How can I add pup_rw and pup_a directories to pup_ro1.sfs?

You need to get the order of copy correct first but since you ignore/refuse my offer to use my utility instead to simplify matters, I wish you well with your further "learning curve" endeavours. Good luck.

Cool, cheers.

There's a utility mentioned called SFS Combiner I've yet to find.

In this first attempt, there are errors trying to copy /initrd files. They didn't look too serious, but on one layer alone there are about 30 of them. I made the .sfs anyway, using just ro1 & a (not the rw layer). Next step is to boot it to see what happens.
