Maybe this should go in bug report...

I've just started using 1.0.2 as a multisession, the previous problems I was having with 1.0.0a multisession: http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=140 have been resolved only to be replaced by some other, bigger issues:

Just typing

The new kernel will take a little while to sort out but it promises good things for the future.

IT IS WORKING !!!

I just tried burning another multisession puppy-1.0.2 CD using the Gcombust method and it worked !!!

I booted to it

From a console entered the magical code: cp -f /etc/rc.d/rc.reboot-cd /tmp/rc.reboot

Shut down the system and was prompted to save to CD and replied "Yes". It wrote to the CD properly.

I removed the Hard Drive and rebooted to the CD and it loaded ( but I did notice some I/O error messages from hdc which is the CD drive on this machine )

It is up and running, the ethermet card required no configuration, web is working via adsl, and I am sending this from puppy.

I will investigate further. But it is looking good

I believe that the Gcombust method via Puppy-1.0.2 is a reliable method of burning the CD.

Sincerely,
Edwin

DEFINATELY WORKING !!!

I have been rebooting without the Hard Drive installed and puppy-1.0.2 burned as multisession is working.

Observations:

1/ I am still getting some I/O errors when booting from the multisession CD

2/ It seems that one should save data to /root in order to have it saved to the CD when exiting.

Great job !

Sincerely,
Edwin

Edwin,
yes, those errors at bootup seem to be a limitation of one of the driver modules, ide-cd or whatever, can't handle multiple tracks properly. But it still works!
