@foxpup @gyro ok
this might be showing my age or the age of the puupy javascript:emoticon(':lol:')
EXT4 wasnt in the gparted i used so that isnt going to work
the grub version I used I think, might be a tad bit older than the ones your using, for instance there is no UUID nonsense.
IM pretty sure (if i remember correctly ) the use of the root line was the way puppy4.0 dingo and back used to lock the files to a specific folder (although some save sfs files didnt always agree),
when sfs became a thing it was used to only oick up specific SFS files to load, otherwise it would try to load every single one on the hard drive regardless of name and number specification.
this being said, i'll have to expirement with the pfix options, the pfix=nocopy one may have replaced the root=line or part of it at least, not sure.
not to mention that using "pfix= " on a couple of these distro's actually required "puppy pfix=whatever" as the arguement at boot from cd/usb.
Im pretty sure:
With using the root line on DPup Stretch (and a couple of the others) it does change something because on boot up it says something along the lines of "no re-allocation needed"
and i get a ram size of about 90megs i think it is at idle.
