Sorry ... yes, please, move it wherever you deem appropriate! I'm quite busy currently, barely manage to keep track of the exciting news regarding a more modular Puppy.sunburnt wrote:Blubb_fallo ? ...Other wise this thread seems to be waining...
Even though the limit of 5 mounts per UnionFS is a bit disappointing (I wasn't aware of that!), I do think Puppy should make use of those possibilities.
(Btw, Barry mentioned that UnionFS crashed when he tried to flush the ramdisk, so it looks like we have to live with pretty W98-ish reboots for memory recovery for now. Does aufs allow flushing, as opposed to mere copying, to lower layers?)
To do at least something, I tried to create an sfs that would add instant iso launching capability to rox, just like I've set it up for my main system. Unfortunately, I didn't even get anywhere near squash making, since vmplayer obstinately refused to play with my Puppy.
Anyway, my silence is in no way desinterest. I would like to participate and contribute more, but I can't at the moment. Especially to sunburnt: please, go on - those GUI's are a great idea! I think, such a well thought out, evident way of providing essential information that otherwise would require studying neverending manpages (including lots of syntactic ballast) would be a substantial progress, in terms of usability by non-techies.
