Not so much kudos for me, I just picked up the suggestion from 2 other guys and put them together and tried it. The problem with 'depmod' was mentioned in another thread. That's how a good community works, also in real life, everybody contributes his part. I just started to 'play' with Puppy Linux ...

Hi Raffy!

Which files do you need? vmlinuz & initrd.gz?

It's also possible to built a Unleashed 4.1.2 humongus initrd.gz and do a network boot. After downloading the core and packages I did the following 2 things. 1) Copy 'depmod' from puppy-unleashed-4.1.1/boot to puppy-unleashed/boot. 2) Copy puppy-unleashed-4.1.1/boot/initrd-tree0/dev to puppy ...

I managed to built a working version from Unleashed 4.1.2 now. After downloading the core and packages I did the following 2 things. 1) Copy 'depmod' from puppy-unleashed-4.1.1/boot to puppy-unleashed/boot. 2) Copy puppy-unleashed-4.1.1/boot/initrd-tree0/dev to puppy-unleashed/boot/initrd-tree0/dev ...

I built a humongus initrd.gz with Unleashed 4.1.1 and it works. I'm posting this from a client which booted into Puppy with PXE-Network Boot. So the problem is really related to Unleashed 4.1.2. I had to disable the DHCP-Server of my router in order to do the network boot. Later I had to set back ...

Hi!

I tried it yesterday and was not successful to build the humongous initrd.gz. There is another thread mentioning that there might be a problem with the Unleashed 4.1.2.

Hi Tronkel & WhoDo!

Just to let you know that I had similar problems in building from Unleashed 4.1.2 yesterday. I thought I'm doing something wrong as I just started to play around with it the last 2 days.

Maybe I will try the way with the core from Unleashed 4.1.1.

Good luck for 4.2.
