Subject description: Lost Firefox add-ons w/config, plus manual probs.		  
I use the live-DVD, without a hard drive, with Firefox. Remastering produces an .iso including Firefox, but without the Firefox add-ons or their configs. That should be a bug.

After manually moving the .mozilla directory to /tmp/root/.mozilla during remastering, the resulting .iso had lost my ethernet module, b44. That could be another bug.

At this point I do not have a solution to remaster my configured system.

I have tried dd to form an .iso from the multisession DVD even though I do not need all prior sessions. But dd seems to wants to copy the entire DVD+RW, which is mostly unformatted. It is multisession unclosed.

My goal is to better cope with infrequent but very damaging DVD+RW write failure. The hope is to periodically create a system image backup .iso for the full configured system. Thanks for your help.

Next time try deleting /tmp/root completely then COPY your whole root folder into /tmp .

The result is somewhat different: now Firefox, the add-ons and their configuration are retained in the .iso, which is
better than before.

But, again, "the resulting .iso had lost my ethernet module, b44", so I cannot get online. This happens whether I had connected for that session or not.

Before you burn the .iso make sure that the zpXXXXXX.sfs is in the puppylivebuild ( I forget just what it's called)folder.

This might help you http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=46739
With Pupremaster, you wont loose your Firefox Add-ons, but check the known issues mentioned in the thread. Easy to deal with though........

I want to remaster puppy 4.3.1.
But the "remaster puppy live CD" program keeps asking me to insert a CD into drive sr0
I don't have a CD, since I use unetbootin to install puppy into my flash drive and run..
How can I remaster, with just an .iso file in my hands? Confused

Pupremaster from the post above allows you to select the files from your USB drive as far as I remember

I have been thinking of making my own version of "remasterpup2" with a couple of changes:

1) The entire system except for the /tmp, /dev/ and /mnt directories is included. Even personal data would be copied.

2) All of the work that uses the /tmp directory can instead use a user selected mounted directory.

Can you think of a problem with doing this? I have looked at the code in the remastering process and it looks fairly easy to make the changed version.
