Grub2config replaces Grub4Dos

[Governor]

Could you elucidate? This is exactly what I want to do. I want to create a bootable ISO of my current configuration and place it on my Ventoy thumb drive.
Thanks!

BTW: You can remaster where your current system and all of the work you have put in is saved in the new ISO file the remaster creates.

Its an option that should/will work.

What Puppy are you using?

Use @amethyst's NixOS facility.

@amethyst, have you submitted your package to WoofCE development ?

OK, FossaPup64 9.5. As @Clarity suggested, you can use nicOS-Utility-Suite to remaster an ISO, but it takes some manipulating.

I recently posted "remasterme.sh" which also works with FossaPup95:
viewtopic.php?p=115865#p115865

You make a directory, then put the original ISO file and remasterme.sh into it. Run remasterme.sh and carefully follow the instructions. It will make a smaller ISO file than nicOS-Utility-Suite.

For remastering we should also revisit the woofy package by @sc0ttman

A simple remaster tool for Puppy Linux.

With Woofy, you can customise and rebuild an ISO file, without having to boot it up.
Just choose your 'base' ISO - the ISO you want to remaster.

Re Woofy DL--Unable to DL from that link. Can you please provide workable link? Thank you.

@tosim Does this help? Download in ZIP form.

Seems the link in the oldforum will need to be repaired!

Woofy looks promising. Unfortunately, it ended up failing when I tried it.

It is a definitely older package so not that surprised.

Maybe some tweaking to the code can bring it up to speed.....

rockedge-Thank you. Will check it out tomorrow, hopefully.
