Unetbootin Linux version
I've only ever gotten Unetbootin to work on Windows.
Tried to boot Linux Lite the other day. Unetbootin would not see the flash drive -- or any flash drive, for that matter. This is the typical behavior for me to see, across several different systems and a few different Pups.
Once I forced Unetbootin (from Terminal, at that! It's in their FAQ...) to use the intended flash drive -- even then, the install would not boot. Unetbootin uses syslinux and leaves out some files that Ubuntu based distros need in order to be booted with that.
I gave up and used ISOBooter, worked instantly without issue, problem, or complaint.
Take rcrsn51's advice.

Unetbootin has worked for me to install Puppy versions to a USB flash drive.
I am booting with one now.
In fact, I just used it to make a Gparted Live USB.
I ran Unetbootin in a running Puppy.
It does only want to install to a USB flash that is formatted fat32.

I remember that SFR had success in slacko 5.3.3 which had usb mounting by uuid support. Puppy has not usb by uuid mounting support which is needed to get the unetbootin menu disposable.bigpup wrote:Anyone know what needs to be changed in the Unetbootin code so it can find drives using the drop down menus?

udev-usb_id.pet
I have packaged from slacko 5.3.3 usb_id. It works in slacko 6.3.0. I attach it. Install and reboot. Than try to attach the usb drive, mount it and simply launch:
It autodetects the attached usb drive. Report your testing.

Re: Unetbootin Linux version
I notice that it also puts an isolinux.cfg on the usb drive. What is the difference between these two configuration files?bigpup wrote:
Puppy Tweaks for installing a Puppy iso:
Unetbootin does a basic iso image burn install to a USB flash drive.
Basically it is the same as a live CD image burn install.
It does not know about the tweaks, that the Puppy Universal Installer does, to identify the install as a USB flash drive install.
These tweaks tell the boot process that Puppy is on a USB flash drive and to limit the writes to the save file or folder.
However you can manually tweak the syslinux.cfg file on the USB flash drive.
Change:
To:Code: Select all
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd
Code: Select all
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash
isolinux.cfg is used to boot a live Puppy CD/DVD.I notice that it also puts an isolinux.cfg on the usb drive. What is the difference between these two configuration files?
It is in the Puppy iso file for burning a live Puppy CD/DVD.
Unetbootin copies everything from the iso file even stuff not needed for a USB install.
Unnetbootin installs the syslinux boot loader, which is needed to boot from USB flash drive.

It contains mtools and p7zip all in one. It seems to work in a live of slacko 5.7, precise 5.7.1, tahr 6.02 (and obviously wary). It has not a menu entry: open a console and type:
where sdxy is the usb stick where you want to install to an iso.Code: Select all

Ed: Just followed some links and copy.com is gone for good.
Does anyone have a copy of this unetbootin-608-w5.pet file?
Thanks

Unetbootin -- getting beyond /root
Hi all,
I don't need unetbootin to get Puppies or debiandogs onto a USB-stick. But, until now to do a easy and quick --well not so quick-- burn of another Distro I've been booting into Windows and running LinuxLIveUSB Creator,
Now I no longer have to.
I just built an SFS for Tahrpup64. Worked fine burning pclinuxos to a USB-stick with one wrinkle. The part of Unetbootin's GUI for selecting an already downloaded ISO couldn't get passed /root. The option "computer" was greyed-out.
Easy work-around. Just symlink /mnt to /root. Thought I'd mention it if any one else hasn't.
Two other things to keep in mind. Unetbootin requires that the USB-stick already be formatted as Fat32. And, although it will remind you if you forget --in contradiction to my previous experience working with USB-stick burning software-- the USB-Stick must also be mounted.

Re: Unetbootin Linux version
I tried to install upupBB this way while working with my tiny_puduan. I got no errors but I don't see a syslinux.cfg. DOes the syslinux.cfg need to be included in the iso for this to work? Are there any syslinux packages that I need to make sure are installed prior to using Unetbootin.bigpup wrote: Start Unetbootin from the console by using this command.You tell it the target USB drive you want it to use.Code: Select all

However you can manually tweak the syslinux.cfg file on the USB flash drive.
Change:
To:Code: Select all
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd
Code: Select all
append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash
BTW, I got more errors when I tried this in dpup buster.
Find me on [url=https://www.minds.com/ns_tidder]minds[/url] and on [url=https://www.pearltrees.com/s243a/puppy-linux/id12399810]pearltrees[/url].
Could it be this?
USB Drive install mode
For the Live USB creation mode, UNetbootin generates an appropriate syslinux config file in /syslinux.cfg, and makes your USB drive bootable using syslinux. On Linux, if extlinux is installed and the target USB drive is ext2 or ext3, extlinux is used instead; the config file is installed in /extlinux.conf. The partition to which it has been installed is also marked as active.
