Gcombust not in 1.0.8r1; "Goofy" not helpful name.

#1 Post by reasonit »

Not sure if its a bug or by design,
but in version 1.08r gcombust is not pre installed.
This results in a contraductory message when running any remastering script.
"press Enter to start Gcombust" - which obviously doesn't start.

2. When running alienx remaster script there is a message cannot stat /mnt.. goofy.16
Again this may ot be a bug, but it does throw a user off. Secondly IMHO it would be a good idea to rename 'goofy' to something more obvious

goofy.16 used to be the boot-image shown when you choose what mode to boot Puppy in. It was originally Puppy's head superimposed on a test-pattern, but I made multiple versions with different fonts, one of which was goofy-looking. So I guess Barry named it Goofy to distinguish, and just stuck with it until he dropped the boot-splashes in favor of text.

The reason it can't stat goofy.16 is that it no-longer exists. Since 1.0.7 Puppy hasn't used boot-splashes.
