Have just uploaded SFS-TCZ_Linker-2.0

Fixed a bug from 1.9 and fine tuned sfs_boot_handler a little more for improved speed.

Cheers, J

Try it again Thom, I think I messed up the first upload. Hopefully fixed now.

Good Luck, J

This seems obvious, but I thought I'd ask since I'm in a non-rebooted LiveCD system with Linker 1.9 installed...BUT, can I installed the PET for 2.0 and just continue running or am I required to reboot going from 1.9 to 2.0?

Thanks in advance...

I just uploaded SFS-TCZ_Linker-2.1.pet

I tuned up the .setup script caller a bit and also placed a restart window manager in the pinstall script. This will make sfs_linker immediately useable without worrying about rebooting.

You will still have to reboot to get /root/my_links/sfs_mnt_home populated with links to SFS's on /mnt/home but thats just a luxury.

I'm hoping this is the final version. Not that its not fun to work on, but its embarrassing to have to confess to soooo! many bugs. Wink

Thanks for the understanding when running LiveCD.
In PUP5.2 I:

remove the current "Linker"
Opened QuickPET on the desktop
On its menubar, click SFS, click sfs_linker which takes me to this Puppy thread.
Double click the "linker" url to start the installation and when done, I have the new Linker installed on my LiveCD system.

Edited 11/22/10 at 17.39. - The Linker remains in system after LiveCD reboot (Save to CD at shutdown, of course!)

I replaced a couple of the large binaries with statically linked uclibc versions / busybox scripts (recommended that you have a statically linked busybox) ... cuts the size by over 90%, but this is just for testers

Is size an issue with this PET?
how does this affect a system after the PET is started?
Does this affect the download size or the size when it is run when linking SFSs?
Does static links "lock" this in somehow?

I'm curious, ONLY?
