Problems remastering and saving file to DVD
Yes, but I am unable to find the make bootable checkbox in pBurn. It's amazing the pBurn is just a script Mr. Berglund has worked a masterpiece he adds lots of intelligence to this script to make it bulletproof, he may have removed make bootable option since its easy to tell if the files needed are in the iso file list.

If you're trying to make a multisession Puppy optical disk, Menu -> Multimedia -> Burniso2cd works a treat no matter what kind of disk you're burning (CD, DVD or Blu-Ray.) May I suggest using a rewritable disk to test? I've been doing that for many years without any problems.
By the way, Ted Dog, I made a multisession Puppy Blu-Ray disk (BD-RE) which seemed to work just fine. In fact it seemed to boot faster than from a DVD. What is it you're trying to do that's different?

Support burning past the 4G size limit
Using bluray disc as a quicker DVD is ok until you try to save past that 4G, also DVD does not allow files larger than 4G, you can write them but they are not 'shown' correctly (mod 4G) a 5.12G file would appear as a 1.12G file and so on. Also UDF has a better/larger safety area, which would remap bad sections of the disc reducing corruption problems, and has a cleaner method of added session and directories.

TOTAL FAIL
The DVD I burned with Pburn (with the sfs made with the script and the files from the old remastered DVD) does not boot.
I must have done something wrong with Pburn. I selected burn data.
Anyone can make it clear for me please?

Did not find make bootable checkbox either in pBurn !
Wonder whats up with pBurn...
Been there done that... If I had a dollar for every..
I make coasters even after 6 yr playing with puppy, but you can still use non-bootable discs to save stuff, if its worth keeping its worth saving twice.
Also I use DVD-RW until they wearout, which can take many, many reburns.
Also a point for Flash Blu-ray ReWr burns much slower than write once.

@Rope this may help: And, @Ted Dog correct me if I'm wrong for I have not run your remaster script, but from this discussion it seems that the remaster creates a SFS of everything that exist in the running system.
So, for example if I had just remastered my running Slacko5.5 system using @Ted Dog's "big" script, I would have a SFS file in my /tmp directory. To begin, I would rename his SFS that he created for me to "puppy_slacko_5.5.sfs"
Then, I would do the following:
Its at this point that you'll use @Ted Dog's 2-liner to create the ISO which you will burn onto a CD/DVD
Please correct if any of this is wrong. I hope the picture, below, helps and is accurate for this discussion.

Then, I would do the following:
- Make a test folder ===> mkdir /tmp/work-folder
- Copy the everything on the boot CD/ISO to that folder. BUT do NOT copy the "puppy_slacko_5.5.sfs" from the CD/ISO because you DONT WANT THAT ONE.
- Now, the final step for your folder is to copy Ted Dog's SFS (the one your renamed, above) to the folder /tmp/work-folder
Its at this point that you'll use @Ted Dog's 2-liner to create the ISO which you will burn onto a CD/DVD

- This is the contents of your FINAL FOLDER BEFORE YOU MAKE THE ISO.

Yes gcmartin, the steps I followed are like you detailed.
But: why would you rename the file? There is no need as it takes the name of your puppy.whatever version.sfs file if I remember well.
What is Ted Dog's 2-liner?
And the problem for me is how to burn the DVD so it boots.
edit: oh, this script

I did not see that post, maybe because I was writing the following question
Thanks you mentioned it. So I missed a step.

Yes to both posts, the 'big script' can figureout what its running in for versions newer than a year ago.
in the same working /tmp/work-folder as the rest of the files place the 2line script (called reburn) and open a terminal <press the ~ while mouse focus is showing files>
growisofs progress will be shown, does throw lots of warning looking stuff, but thats harmless.
The 2line script produces the iso on-the-fly while burning it to DVD so no additional RAM is used.

Code: Select all
#cd /tmp/work-folder <=== not needed if you '~'ed
#ls <=== check if at the right place and reburn exists
#./reburn
