Hi Raj,

DaveS posted a script that solved the problem for me -- look at this link

Do pay special attention to his comment about renaming /root/.packages

Make zl511332.sfs?

So I have a question about the remaster process.

What is the proper answer to the question "Do you like to make zl511322.sfs?"

Do I want the drivers in their own .sfs file?

Why would I say Yes? And why would I say No?

Hi DaveS, the script worked very well. I followed your directtons about renaming /root/.packages and /tmp/root/.packages. I chose the "Simple" way, which is copy the current system without cleanup. Seeing as how all that system had on it was the pups for Firefox, and the addons of AdBlockP...

Custom background lost in remaster

When I remaster the CD in Puppy 5.1.1 I lose the custom screen background I had selected. What I get instead is the original /usr/share/backgrounds/default.jpg.

I am able to successfully remaster Puppy if by that I mean the result is bootable and mostly usable, but I have run into a few issues. The biggest one is that the ...
