Hello,
@yarddog,
It is in /mnt/home/boot/grub/menu.lst
You must already have "Bootsplash for Grub" installed..
See here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=27471
Bootsplash just changes your splash image on every boot..
Clicking on it once sets it up, and it does the rest in the background..

Hi puppyluvr,

v10 worked fine.

Your suggestion to try
"instead of "cd" choose "directory" and point it to the files on the cd..."
doesn't seem possible; but it is not a show stopper and I'm very pleased with your package.

My regards

Hello,
@Sir Jasper,
Yea, but heck, worth a shot.... Smile

ATM I`m doing my testing in VBox, which is a lot faster, and saves on cd-r`s for sure...And yes, I was unable to install it to my virtual HDD, but thought it might be a VBox thing...I`ll look deeper and see what I can find....

@Max Headroom,
Well, I plugged in the "archive", a 320gb USB drive...and the USB port broke off... Sad

opened it up, and the drive is sata...My board is a P3 600....Needless to say, no sata...Need an adapter...
So, can someone point me to a link to some 1 series Puppies...???

Hello,
UPDATE...
I retract my earlier assessment that both "relative" and "absolute" links were acceptable...
With further testing, it seems that certain conditions cause "relative" links to fail...
Easier to say "Always do "absolute" links"..............

Hello,
@Max,
Thanks, great link!! Got 109ce, and, "EEK"...image.gz...usr_cram.fs.. LOL....
Well, I have got to get to boot with grub with a new subroutine, but....On the bright side, it should be do-able...
I`ll be back...

P.S. While I was there, I grabbed slax as well, to add to the "alien" collection I`m testing...

Good Day All!
Been looking around for clues as to how a new function might be added to pburn or burniso2cd to allow 900mb free space to be added or left at the end of each iso burn on 4.7 gb DVD’s for the purpose of allowing multi session with MultiPup.
It looks like a new sub function of ' Burn ISO-image ' would be necessary .
I’m no coder but found the reading here interesting;;/usr/local/pburn 'func_build command’
starting line 295
Perhaps a partition building program similar to what gparted uses to format hd’s might be of use?
I’ll be looking there after I look around at burniso2cd

Ignore; Thinking out loud again! 'Fishing trip'

puppyluvr; Sorry to to have dropped out of the testing, I to have been having hardware issues
after losing the DVD-RW drive on the 3.0ghz pc, the hd went on the 2.4ghz with the CD-RW
that put me on a hunt, what I found was a; Hp a 465c 3.0ghz 160hd 512ram with ralink wireless
pci card and DVD-RW drive. However the dvd drive was not functional so I replaced with a
CD-RW. So now back where I started minus dvd, but the price was at least right Courtesy of my local free cycle network! Thank You!
I did have a look at Multipup8 and all worked as expected. Didn’t try splashshow. Yet!
WoW your really banging them out! I bet that CatDude’s got something to do with that, amongst others! Thanks!
Details of my next fishing trip when I find time to go and hook in to something that can be fried!

For now the real world duties call!
A Great Day to All!

Bob

Hello,
Yea, further investigation revealed that it isnt mounting usr_cram.fs on /usr...
Says "No space left on device" though I have plenty of ram...Gonna do a md5sum, maybe a bad D/L...

Edit Embarassed

I D/L`d the multisession image...It looks for usr_cram.fs on the cd...
Will get another...
