Thanks for the tip! I didn't know about Fatdog or multi-save mode, so this is very helpfulrufwoof wrote:Booting Fatdog from usb with multi-save, and saves are stored as a series of .sfs files, so you can uninstall things by selectively deleting/renaming later saves (add a new save, install a program + dependencies, use/save and if you later don't like it remove the associated save sfs ... and its gone).
More typically with puppy's you can do similar, preserve the current save, add new programs/do stuff, and later restore the preserved save to uninstall things installed since that preserved save.
For data, that's best stored outside of puppy-space (on a separate drive/usb/partition/cloud).
Code: Select all
shutdownconfig
It is all about what the program package was compiled to run in.rnDPrc wrote:Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks a lot for the response!bigpup wrote:Thanks for the information!
That would be nice, but understand...
From what I understood, the way to go is to install .sfs files only, correct?
Thanks again
Cheers!
My bad, I should've paid more attention. The site says it's a derivative after all.bigpup wrote:FatDog is not Puppy Linux and it does stuff that Puppy Linux does not do.
In Puppy Linux, if you want to make multiple save files/folders.
In a console type this:This will offer to make a save for how the computer is at time you do this.Code: Select all
shutdownconfig
Just give it a name different from the save you booted with.
On next boot up, you will be asked which save to use.

SFS packages made for Puppy Linux, if done correctly, should have everything needed in the SFS package.
If compiled and packaged correctly!
Sure , if done correctly they are a good way to use programs.
Pet packages are also good, but they are a little more Puppy version specific.
A lot of it is just what does the program need to run.
You may need to define "running from".PuppyMel wrote:Hi, I'm new.
Can I install Puppy Linux on the same flash drive I'm running from?
Does Puppy Linux WPA2 support distributions?
Do the Puppy Linux distributions support VPN?
With respect. The first impressions from acquaintance to Puppy are fine.
