Is it supposed to be like this in FD?
Yes, this change occurred in the beta 1 version of fatdog64 700. There is a discussion on the change in the beta 1 thread, pages 3 and 4 here:http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 4&start=30

I had the same issue. I ended up changing the path to add a directory /root/myscripts to do the same thing.

The use of /root/my-applications/bin has been depreciated by the developers.

Thanks for the info.
In fact, I just noticed that ~/my-applications/ is actually not present in main sfs, only in devx (a leftover?), so that makes sense now...

Greetings!

Congratulations Jamesbond and Kirk,

Your Fatdog 700b2 boots on my UEFI laptop as one of the few. Tried Porteus, and it failed with a incorrect key, tried Slax, it does not boot at all, only the *buntu's work, but they can hardly be called compact distro's.

I was looking for something to stick on a USB stick to run live, without even touching the HD.

I ran into one problem however. Fatdog700b2 does not seem to have a driver for the Intel AC3160 dual band wifi chip (at least, that is what it is called in the Windows 8.1 environment). Is there anything I can do to get it to work?

The laptop is a Lenovo Flex 14, core is i3-4030.

Regards,

Volhout

Hi is it possible to install 32 bit application support? In particular can I install a 32 bit c libraries and compiler, if so where would I get the package?

Thanks,

Hi Jamesbond and Kirk

As I understand things (dimly!) Fatdog64 has paved the way in producing a "hybrid iso" that can be made to boot on uefi pc's?

Lighthouse64 has however used your framework to produce a LH64 hybrid iso and LH64 seems to be a bit closer in architecture to WoofCE 32bit puppies than FD64?

Sadly Tazoc seems to be unwell so I can't ask him what he had to do to make the LH64 hybrid iso.

With Ted Dog's help, I've made a hybrid iso for LxPup64using your components in a similar way to LH64. Hope this is ok?

I don't possess a uefi pc

or maybe

to test on so I'm relying on others to test.....

Cheers
peebee

According to wireless.kernel.org, the Intel 3160 driver came into the Linux kernel as of k3.10. So Fatdog should have it.

Run the command: lspci -nnk

Is a module being loaded, possibly iwlwifi?

Run dmesg and check for errors regarding firmware.

Ted Dog · #229 Post by **Ted Dog** » Tue 23 Dec 2014, 16:28

hybrid triple boot is easy once JB and Kirk figured it out.

I call it triple boot since they go one step farther and encode a MBR BIOS like hardrive boot so that a USB can be directly DDed and boot like a harddrve.
All in one ISO.
All the code is in the remaster script. Need to use EFI.img and change the grub.cfg to lighthouse settings, isolinux.cfg needs change as well. Both are needed. EFI bootloader is grub based and includes the refit key manager for secure boot.
I have reborrowed Fatdog64s shim keys for all other linuxes I install, hope they do not mind. It does work with Lighthouse. and Slacko64, plus quirky... lol he hates EFI but it boots fine on my EFI only flashdrive ( just used efi for win8 and mac EFI booting machines, Macs get lost with hybrid boot )

i thought that I edited my post last night (guess not) I did try loading the 32bit slacko package but I'm still getting an error when trying to install the citrix receiver

"./setupwfc: /usr/bin/ldd: /usr/bin/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Install libc-i386 package (or equivalent) and hen retry"

any thoughts, I will post this in the Citrix public forum to see if there are any ideas.

I was trying to mount a .qcow image using qemu-nbd, but failed, because nbd is compiled into kernel (not as a module) and /sys/module/nbd/parameters/max_part says 0, so individual partitions (/dev/nbdXpY) do not appear.
And since it's not a module, I can't modprobe nbd max_part=16.
Is there any other way to increase the number of partitions?

Well, technically I can calculate the proper offsets from fdisk's output and mount manually using mount -o offset=..., but with max_part=16 it would be a bit easier.

 		fi		
 	done | sed '/loop[0-9]:/ d; s|^.*[0-9][0-9]* ||; s|^.*(||; s|)$||'

because losetup from busybox fails to show the SFSes' complete path if the path is too long:

# losetup -a | grep loop11
/dev/loop11: 0 /aufs/devsave/FatDog700b1/a very long path bla bla bla/kernel-s

And although it's possible to load such an SFS, it's impossible to unload it afterwards.

Did you try?:

echo 16 > /sys/module/nbd/parameters/max_part

You could also patch the kernel to set max_part = 16;
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kerne ... lock/nbd.c

static unsigned int nbds_max = 16;
static struct nbd_device *nbd_dev;
- static int max_part;
+static int max_part = 16;

... you can also grep /proc/mounts to find mounted devices without losetup (I think that is what it does too, but has a limited buffer size)

And, I couldn't quite understand if a bootloader is needed if one already has a Linux Grub.
