...so this is empty ...you just giving the size of /usr/lib...sorry not quite sure if that is what you meant.I have two big directories in pup_rw: /usr/lib (256MB)

What is this cache?
I just unloaded my browser's cache (now it is 1,4MB). What is it:
/root/.cache/mozilla/firefox/z4poujvs.default/Cache/_CACHE_003_ (16mb)
I have two big directories in pup_rw: /usr/lib (256MB) and /root (100MB)
the first one is clear, I checked the files in its subdirectories as weel, the last modification happened in December.
The most suspicious one is /root. If it is, it means, on Sunday, it just was 20MB. Is this size imaginable for root?

I mean usr/lib is 256 MB but it is ok, I found no big files modified in January....so this is empty ...you just giving the size of /usr/lib...sorry not quite sure if that is what you meant.

pets2sfsgui - convert pets to sfs and combine sfs files into one. SFSconvert to convert between 3 and 4 versionsmikeb wrote:Well one of the most pointless wrappers ever... it seems to do the same as the original command...
But regardless I was thinking more in terms of pet2sfs ... in slax I have deb2lzm and tgz2lzm for slackware which are handy tools for quick tests.
The process is so simple it hardly warrents a wrapper really... an understanding of a linux file tree and the usual unpacking tools are all thats needed.
The only other point is compatability...sfs is not backwards compatible and versions 3 and 4 are not even that...as long as the sfs is made on the distro it will be used for then there is no problem.
As it happens I build my version 3 sfs on puppy 2 so it works for all. Version 4 I do with lucid for similar reasons. mksquashfs and unsquashfs are not tied to kernel versions either so building can be done outside of the kernel needed but that will not include the ability to use such as lzma or xz to create (unpack ok)
just to fill in a few blanks.

Those applications are very tiny and does just that what is wanted. Works very well and very quick. As for combining SFS files don't think it's daft at all. It's a quick fix and works without any problems whatsoever. No further changing of initrd? or whatever crap required. So if you are permanently running say JRE/wine/opera, etc. A quick combination of those sfs's into one works like a bomb. Easy fixes for laymen like me. LOLmikeb wrote:I think combining sfs to overcome the crappy needless limitations of puppies sfs handling is the daftest thing to come out of the puppy world. The rest is a 2 line job...unpack/pack. Also these 'wizards' leave no room to strip out the needless crud thats usually in there....a quick test before doing the job properly manually perhaps.
Was not impressed when there was the version 3 to 4 change which was not backwards compatible in order to appease the kernel gods either
yay rant over.

ps ...no the daftest is using the devx files to supply tk/tcl or python or qt4 or...well really people what kind of minimalist distro is this??
pps and the kernel sources are 10 times the size needed to build drivers... is that a punishment for wanting to build yer own or something lol
Just install the bloody pets or load the SFS's and then do a remaster. LOLmikeb wrote:Nah its crappy
my smallest sfs/module is around 200k but all load in a blink of an eye and I only have to replace the 200k if there is an update. java and wine...even more reason to keep separate.
If the initrd was written well in the first place this discussion would not be happening...slax managed it 8-9 years ago...whats puppies excuse?
Lazy pup and lighthouse do it, I do it...frogs do it, dogs do it, everybody but barry does it...lets do it, lets have one application per sfs.
{mikeb does a tap dance}
Of course it won't happen...change is something to avoid unless its someone elses update.
mike.... who likes to let off steam ...
