Okay, I'll see if I can chase this bug down within the next couple of days.

Okay guys,
try this one!

It should correctly resize the ramdisk.

Also:
When the script asks you to edit isolinux.cfg with "ramdisk_size="
be sure to insert it for every boot option, in the same line as the
PFILE parameter.

let me know if it works.

ok, will get this script tested.

re: the 'remaster from remaster' issue, I'm pretty sure I've licked it!
It's because I've removed rxvt (to replace it with mrxvt)
Placing a symlink from rxvt to mrxvt has resolved it :)

It was affecting the whole Pupget package manager, running from CLI (as you mentioned in another thread) allowed me to debug it...

Thx,
F

Spoke too early :/

Pupget now works fine (with the symlink) but PCCC exhibits the same behaviour when doing 'remaster from remaster'.

Running 'createpuppyonline' from the CLI, I see the following output:
ls: /root/.packages/*.files: No such file or directory
/tmp/rettags.txt has all the tags (package names) chosen to be in Puppy.
/usr/sbin/createpuppyonline: line 589: 3372 Terminated xmessage -center -bg "orange" -title "Puppy Custom CD" -buttons "" "Processing package choices, please wait..."

The /tmp/<package>.files are the DotPups installed into my remaster, which work fine.
- no problems in this area, so 'error' can safely be ignored, I think.

My guess as to why PCCC fails to download new packages scheduled for removal is either:
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/home/puppy/puppy-unleashed/rootfs-complete/root/.packages': File exists

OR

cp: cannot stat `/mnt/home/puppy/puppy-unleashed/rootfs-complete/root/*': No such file or directory


I'm going to do another remaster from fresh, so I'll capture the output from that one...

Running createpuppyonline from the commandline spits out lots of messages
that may seem like errors but they aren't.

The important thing is, the script fixes the size of image.gz problem.
Previously, you would have seen lots of error messages about not enough
room, "No space left on device".
So, previously the iso file itself was corrupted, that is, files missing from
image.gz.

I successfully created a iso with OO.
I didn't have any problem with downloading packages that are to be removed
-- that's a different problem, and so far I can't reproduce it.

Barry,
I tried the script. That took care of the out of space problem, but now I'm getting this:

Mounting /proc: Can't find /proc in /etc/fstab
Pausing for 60 seconds...
Remounting root rw: can't find / in /etc/fstab
Pausing for 60 seconds...

I tried it twice, same result both times. I'm still adding these options to the 105 image: xine extra codecs, nmap, Abiword US dictionary Dotpup, Monkey web server Dotpup and now the "SP1" patch.

thanks,
kirk
