ton - Did you check on the other thread where I gave my answer (and somebody else also responded with tips)? By the way there is no limitation to the size of the save file UNLESS your partition is formatted to FAT32 (in which case the save file can't be bigger than 4GB) or FAT16 (in which it can't be bigger than 2GB). Your hard drive obviously needs to be big enough to handle the size of your save file. Also - a full install will waste even more space as the base sfs will be decompressed to more than 3 times its size.ton wrote:Mattis and all,
I am using puppy precise.
Since it is frugal install, i believe i need save file which is limited to 2GB.
I can't increase more than that. (havent' tried though) but, people say that it will cause error if it is bigger than 2GB.
Or, do you suggest that if i use full install, there is no such issue? as it is not limited to 2GB? I install it to usb 32gb, yet it uses only 8GB.
Perhaps, i try with full install.
I think this is the limitation of frugal install.
If the error is caused by not enough space, then several re-mastering will solve the problem.
thanks
Quick solution if you can't manage to do the remaster. If you still have the pet files for the programs, convert it to sfs files with a utility called pets2sfs. Then boot these files at bootup with your base frugal install. You then don't need to install any programs, your base sfs will stay the same and you can use a very small save file for your personal settings.
