What follows is the "thinking process".

Edit: Please see message below this one. It seems that the wmreboot
and wmpoweroff scripts from wary-5.5 are the ones that make the
difference, since the /etc/rc.shutdown scripts from CE-3 and wary-5.5
are identical. See illustration.

Hello, all.
Here's a copy of an exchange I just had with 01micko concerning said
bug. It explains the faulty process, and the solution, which is provided
as a pet file.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hi, Mick.
Regarding the "-1Mb" pupsave file bug, here is a report of the process.
The solution is attached.
The problem with the rc.shutdown script was the same for CLI and GUI modes.
jwm menu -> reboot
Then, in the script itself, the steps are:
Save -> admin -> ext2 -> filename -> Normal -> [Missing Size Step] -> Yes, save
In this "summary" panel, notice the size as -1 Mb.
Copying /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown from wary 5.5 to CE-3 Puppy
/etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown solves the problem. The wary 5.5 version shows
correctly the Size step, in both CLI and GUI mode. Please find a corrective
pet attached.
Given that a solution was found, I did not run a diff reading on the two scripts.
As far as I can tell, having an active diskette bay has nothing to do with it.
I'll be posting this solution in a "bug" thread and put a link to it in the CE thread.
Best regards.

Subject: Re: shutdown bug
Ok, thanks for that.
I'll diff it and compare. I'll also send it off to Karl Godt because he is working on shut down
Cheers,
Mick
PS> my problem was a corrupt woof build which now I can't reproduce, nothing to do with floppy, except that probing a non existent floppy takes too long.
Have great day!
