(OLD) (ARCHIVED) Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[Pelo]

Near to success. Topic modified here above because useless alternatives. Isobooter is not guilty. I should have learnt to better use DOGstretch.

DOGS are different from Puppy Linux, until now.. They will progress fast, with our help. isobooter is a new way for them. XenialDog is really the better Xenial OS available
Puppy Linux has yet a Puppy stretch running nice (tuxx and sailor enceladus versions tested). Dogstretch will not do better.

13.00 PM Final success. Bookmarks are here in Firefox, proof that previous session well saved and loaded.
Mintpup was there for training purpose
Saves are done on my linux Partition sda3, no need to create a linux partion on the pendrive. However it would be fine not to have to type all the path with my french keyboard.

Hello rcrsn51!

isobooter works only with full iso?

if i extract iso to folder e.g :

puppy_racy/puppyracy.sfs vmlinuz initrd.gz isolinux.cfg

isobooter work with that? or only with full iso?.

thanks.

[rcrsn51]

If you wanted to extract the ISO, then add a menu.lst entry to reflect that method.

Just like you would have on a boot setup made with Grub4Dos Bootloader Config.

[AndresC2]

the install is in usb 2gb fat 32 one partition.

something like this?

Label Puppy Racy
kernel /puppy_racy/vmlinuz
append initrd=/puppy_racy/initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash psubdir=/puppy_racy

thanks

[rcrsn51]

No. That's an isolinux-style boot entry. You want a GRUB-style entry.

[AndresC2]

Hi!

Yes I want a GRUB-style entry, but how?

I new with grub only used universal usb installer and boot with plop bootmanager.

thanks for your help.

ISObooter boots ISOs as scheduled and is really surprising.
Further info coming. I will complete info on existing post above

[nic007]

So Isobooter boots an iso a bit like booting from a cd, I suppose. I guess you can then create a savefile/folder if wanted? Not so flexible if you don't want to use a savevefile/folder but want to save to an sfs for instance. Normal, frugal install more flexible and you have more options.

Puppies have a Pupsave created as usual, easily. For other Linux, not so easy.. But ISObooter is not guilty, that is the distros that never were able to do saving as easy than with a Puppy. (I am an XeniaDog user too)
