PET MAKER - 2.3 - Oct 2014
Tlchost
Silly question, please ignore if you do know. You know the structure of a dir to be pet don't you?
/petname/
/petname/usr/bin/whatever.bin
/petname/usr/share/applications/whatever.desktop
Something like that, the same goes with sfs. That's what will happen if you create it correctly from pet maker.
Hope that make sense

On second thought, why don't you put the tgz here, and maybe I can pet it up for you. And see if it's only faulty in your system. Fyi: pet maker pack pets,sfs, or convert pet2sfs just what puppy does as usual but, with a gui to make iyt easier. Except for installing sfs, it's not puppy's natural behaviour, which you didn't have a problem with.

Great....an sfs file would be very nice, since when it's installed from either the tarball or from a pet, it takes up over 200 megabytes. I'm sure that anyone using puppy and wanting to develop/test web pages that run on an Apache based server would really appreciate it.trio wrote:Tlchost

If you also do a pet, I can try the convert function and see if it really works on a Bootable USB version of Puppy4.21.Retro
I can't get the forum to accept the attachment....the url is

Thanks!

what series do you want the sfs tobe? 430 or 421-lower. They are not compatible, if you don't already know
Thom,
I succesfully made an sfs of the lamp & tested it, and loaded in /opt/lampp succesfully
the problem is uploading to your ftp is verrrrryyyy slowwwww... so while uploading (which I'm worried it'll be incomplete), just in case it fails, I better tutor you how to make the right sfs from tgz:
1. extract lampp.tar.gz maybe in /mnt/home so you'll get /mnt/home/lampp
2. Create a new directory call it /lampp-thom, and inside that directory you make another directory call it /opt so you'll get /lamp-thom/opt ....
3. move the /lampp directory to /lampp-thom/opt/lampp ...
4. open rxvt in /mnt/home and type dir2sfs lampp-thom
5. that's it

Great....and MySQL ran?trio wrote:Thom,

That's odd...but I see you are still logged into the server ... the file size shows 33964032. I didn't notice slow uploads when I updated 3 SMF forums earlier....maybe the bad spirits are after me.trio wrote: the problem is uploading to your ftp is verrrrryyyy slowwwww... so while uploading (which I'm worried it'll be incomplete), just in case it fails, I better tutor you how to make the right sfs from tgz:

Thanks for the HowTo .... I did this, because doing on /mnt/home didn't work....tar complained a lottrio wrote: the problem is uploading to your ftp is verrrrryyyy slowwwww... just in case it fails, I better tutor you how to make the right sfs from tgz:
A. created directory test under /
B. created opt under /test
C. extracted files to /test/opt/lammp
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.2.tar.gz -C /test/opt
D open rxvt in /
E ran dir2sfs test
That created the sfs file
The sfs file works fine.....thanks so much for the help.
Thom
great, that's the same thing but on "/" directory (you'll get complaints from tar because you're on usb install, right?)tlchost wrote:Thanks for the HowTo ....

The main thing thatyou are missing last time is the "dir to be pet/sfs" .. now that you understand it, you'll be ok.
Cheers, glad to help
Hello Bro
I used petmaker for awhile now and found it very useful.
ATM I am running dpup-481a from gposil (full install). I installed 1.7-3 (std). I wanted to install the devx_481.sfs. It did so successfully . However, petmaker said there was a menu entry and restarted the WM. I couldn't find such an entry and I believe there isn't one. No biggy, just to let you know.
Cheers

Thanks for reporting, but it is actually correct

Hmmm, it's not there, better check if glade is actually there, may be a bug in the sfs.
Glade is definitely there and works.
Might be a dpup thing. No worries

Petmaker to create PetMaker.sfs
I used petmaker to create a petmaker.sfs It seems to work....is there some reason one should not do this?
Thanks
Thom

Re: Petmaker to create PetMaker.sfs
It should work, no difference in .pet or .sfs, but why you want such a small app in a .sfs form?tlchost wrote:I used petmaker to create a petmaker.sfs It seems to work....is there some reason one should not do this?

Re: Petmaker to create PetMaker.sfs
I don't use it that often....and with ChoicePup, it's very easy to load up sfs files for a "one time use".trio wrote:It should work, no difference in .pet or .sfs, but why you want such a small app in a .sfs form?tlchost wrote:I used petmaker to create a petmaker.sfs It seems to work....is there some reason one should not do this?
