lupu-510.sfs not found and
I think I`ve no .rar support.I installed Lucid Puppy 5.1 and everything went good
I'm using the live cd. At the end when I was going to shut down it asked where to save the file
This is a desktop. I never had a chance to save
I understand:
You`re running Vista with C:\ and D:\ and burned the Puppy.iso to a RW CD ?
The content on the CD is no .iso anymore :
Then Puppy started to create a pupsave-abc.2fs file on one of the windows formatted C:\ or D:\ partitions ?[Sun Aug 22 terminal 3] ls -alF /mnt/sr0

Or did you create a linux ext2 formatted partition using `gparted` ?
Don`t forget to add a swap partition !
Better to start with an empty harddrive IMHO.
At my Macpup install I once downloaded an .iso and after mounting the storage disk I can click on the .iso icon and the filemanager runs up and shows its' content :
So theoretically I`ve the option to rename the files in there[Sun Aug 22 terminal 3] ls -alF /mnt/+mnt+sdb1+NewDir+qret-120-firefox-03.iso/

The settings for looking at some pupsave-files are perhaps at
the /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG file.
my frugal 430.sfs Bootconfig file is empty but there is an /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG file inside the pupsave-abc.2fs logical-virtual-volume-file and this is its' content:
PREVUNIONRECORD='pupsave-new2fs.2fs pup-430.sfs zp430305.sfs'
LASTUNIONRECORD='pupsave-new2fs.2fs pup-430.sfs zp430305.sfs'
I don`t know 510 exactly but Windows presents the letters differently at CD/DVD and USB/Thumbdrive.The key is the difference between "LUPU-510.SFS" and "LUPU_510.SFS".
While linux and windows-usbthumb use small letters and a "-" , the CDdrive at win uses big letters and "_"; it`s like translating a-z to A_Z .
All my *pup* show off like PUP_431.SFS at win CDdrive but at linux and win usb it`s pup-431.sfs . So the only difference would be the "-_" shift .
The content of 501 CD at win:
BOOT.CAT,BOOT.MSG,desktop.ini,HELP.MSG,INITRD.GZ,ISOLINUX.BIN,ISOLINUX.CFG,
LOGO.16,LUPU_501.SFS,VMLINUZ
and at Macpup_Opera2 frugal :
boot.cat help.msg isolinux.bin logo.16 vmlinuz
boot.msg initrd.gz isolinux.cfg lupu-501.sfs
.msg are textfiles that can be opened with notepad++ (google for it)
[/quote]Where do I find this file LUPU-510.SFS? I'm using a Live CD.
CD of course and if there is an uncomplete install : somewhere at the hardrive(s).
I've been having the same problem trying to run both puppy 5.1 and 5.2 on a macbook pro (intel, 4gb ram). I noticed after reading this thread that my mac (running OS X) lists the contents of the .iso file with a pup_510.sfs rather than a pup-510.sfs. The thing is, I copied the iso over to a puppy I had running on an old PC and burned the CD from there. My macbook pro won't boot from this CD, giving the pup_510.sfs not found error, but and old dell optiplex desktop will boot from the same CD. It's very odd!
I hadn't noticed the - to _ shift before - i'll try editing the filename and reburning.

Just an update - I've tried reburning and made sure the - is not replaced by a _ . It seems that the lupu-510.sfs file is named correctly in both the iso and when the error message comes up. I still can't boot a macbook pro with this disk, but every other pc I have tried it works fine. Does anyone have any ideas?
This is what I did for a similar thing for Puppy 5.2 although I do not know how much help it will be, it is worth a try.
One way around it is to put lupu_520.sfs on a usb flash drive. It should find the file on the flash drive after it looks around for awhile. However this does not explain how this happened assuming it is on the CD and named correctly. Also if you are trying to do this on a newer Macbook Pro, I bet it will just start saying "Boot partition not found" instead, at least that is what mine does.
