Hi there,
I just ran the Live CD wizard and made the ISO image file - it's sitting in root.
As I understand this this file should make an CD image that recreates my current Puppy Chubby installation exactly - including which icons I have on my desktop and which I don't, which page is the home page for my browser, whether or not I configured DHCP, and what partions I've got mounted and what file systems are on there, etc. Is this right? Do I understand this correctly?
If this is correct can I then take this and make another computer with it and then make a USB drive bootable with it?
Cheers,
Adrian

If it is an iso, and you have a CD burner and a CD-RW, wouldn't the simplest way to find out if you got it right be to burn a bootable CD and then boot it up and see what happens?

perhaps, that is one way. but i am at work an don't have a burner here nore a USB drive and the machine is on a network yet so I don't have that option, also, i would have to burn a CD just to see if my understanding of the proces is correct which seems a bit of a waste of earths resources. Smile

so ... are the any puppies out there that can calrify the process for me ... do I understand it correctly???
cheers,

I've been intending to try my own Puppy ISO creation for some time, but I haven't done it yet. One thing about the process, I know that when you launch the wizard, it asks you to put your original CD in the CD drive. I don't know why, but it does.
