there is a program called multiboot which has a gui for booting multiple iso's for a pen drive.

Yes I'm Aware of PuppyLuvrs MultiPup CD / DVD Creator in Fact You'll Notice My Presence in that Forum Thread, But ideally wot I Really want is a way of Booting from Raw isos on the Fly ( WithOut eXtracting them ), from USB Flash Drive.

Maybe as Aitch has Suggested Loopback Mounting will do this? But I've been Sum wot Distracted of late Maphia Matters ( ie. Family ) & I'm Still Reading ( Which I'm Real Slow @ ), Researching & eXperimenting...

But Any Other Suggestions Certainly Welcome!

Hi runtt21
Installed new version to Usb stick
After attaching mixer modul to shelf and modifiing alsamixer and retrovol settings before downloading-saving...everything worked .
After new boot e17 crashed or mixer modul no longer on shelf.
Also tried to restart alsawizard ,could not make it work after new boot.
Using the mixer-module is ruining my alsa settings .
Anyone else found similar problems ?

Backi , start over with a new save file. Unload the e mixer module before you save After you boot the save file first time download and install the revert-01.pet form the test folder on my macpup page. Reboot and then adjust alsa. I think our pups don't like you any more dude, You have had problems with the last few.Sorry.

Hi
I'm new to Macpup. I haven't read all the way through the 25 pages on this thread so apologies if this query has already been answered. Installed the latest Macpup528 from your download mirror.
Firstly - wow it's fast. I had a vanilla install of Racy pup which was also quick but I guess running in memory really helps. My Acer Aspire laptop has twin Intel U4100 CPUs with 4 gigs memory so there's plenty of headroom.

I used Quickpet to download chrome browser which I have been using quite a lot - I love the sync feature so that I have essentially the same browser on all my desktops (about 10 or so if you count all the distros and derivatives and WinXP for my wife and compatibility sometimes!).

The sync feature in chrome just hangs - I can navigate to most pages I (only got "aw snap" for the chrome store) but no sync.
Any similar experiences or advice to offer?
B.

I don't use chrome so I can't say for sure. But Firefox keeps all of it settings ,bookmarks and stuff in /root/.mozilla . If you can find where chrome keeps it stuff you can copy the file into macpup and have all of your "stuff".

I decided to try and use puppy package manager to see if I could find a later version. Only the same version of the Chromium Browser that I already had installed came up so I decided to activate the puppy-lucid-main repository (Warning: it takes a looong time to download and update).
I then searched again with that repository checked, and there were several versions of the Chromium browser to choose from.
I picked the most recent and after a slooow download from ibiblio.com I now have the latest Chromium browser installed, synced and working great.

Using Macpup 528 v2
I have a partition on my laptop that is ext4 (it has Mint 12 loaded on it).
The version of Pmount in Macpup doesn't recognize an ext4 partition.
I get a red box with an error message "unable to load load sda7" but when I exit to other distros there is no problem with the partition.
I believe there is a version of pmount out there that is ext4 friendly.
Any plans to use a version of pmount that will recognize and mount ext4 partitions?
