It's very very simple. Thanks to Sit Heel Speak for reminding me I always wanted this feature in Puppy 
If you have no idea what psubdir is, don't do it 
This makes your Puppy load SFS from /mnt/home/<psubdir>, but ONLY from there. You must have psubdir specified for this to work; however, if you don't have a psubdir specified, it still works. It just appends it to the SFSs path, that's all, it's safe. It's kinda experimental, tested it only on my puplet, which is 4.3.1-based (here. Theoretically, it should work with all Woof-built puppies. 1) Make /root/initrd, copy your Puppy's initrd.gz there. 2) Open a console, do this:
That will extract your Puppy's initramfs. 3) Then, run this:
Find the line that says SFSSDIR="$SMNTPT". After that line, add this:
That should make your Puppy look at /mnt/home/<your psubdir> instead of just /mnt/home if you have a psubdir specified. Save the file. 4) In the same console, run this:
That will create a new initrd.gz in /root with the required change. Replace your original initrd.gz with the new one. 5) In the console, run this:
Find the line cd $EXTRASFSMNTPT. Before this line, add this:
That should make the boot manager able to list SFSs from the psubdir, instead of /mnt/home, very similar to the change in the initramfs. Save the file. We're done 
Then go to the boot manager, add your favorite SFSs from /mnt/home/<psubdir> and have fun. [/code][/url]

Yes, it is a good idea. I have implemented it in Woof, so future puppies will have it: http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01717 _________________ http://bkhome.org/blog2/ |
