Actually it does not! Yes, does not crash but also will not save the data at shutdown since ArchPup does not have the snapmergepuppy and its associates. Plan B below works (with caveats).
For that you must also change the initrd/init and comment out lines 867-869 that read
and repackage the initrd.gz However, in this cases removing the stick while working will crash the machine (will be like removing your hard drive!). That's why in pupmode 13 the RW layer is in tempfs and not in pupsave (and actually this is the reason that you get the kernel panic). So despite oui's delirium, making the savefile process more puppy-like is the way to go here (and there are some nice pets to do that) if you want a USB-portable ArchPup. But I'll leave that to simargl _________________ Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop.

@mavrothal hmm...the snapmergepuppy script is returning the error "find: unrecognized: -mount" would u happen to know the way around that? I'm presently using: rsync -avz /initrd/pup_rw/* /initrd/pup_ro1 |

I can imagine that... From the top of my head (unfortunately I will not be able to use archpup till next week), I would think you may need to rename the /bin/mount binary to /bin/mount-FULL (assuming that in ArchPup is the original and not a link to busybox) and copy the /bin/mount script from a recent puppy. Also check if /bin/find is the full version or a symlink to busybox. You need the full version In addition you may need aufs-utils. Finally, snapmerge is using the ash shell. I'm not sure what is the status of ash in Archpup, but in puppy is a symlink to bash. You may want to change "#!/bin/ash" to "#!/bin/bash" at the first line of snapmerge script, to be sure. Also change ~line 49
to
While at it add also "set -x" as a second line in snapmerge. If you then run it from the terminal, will tell you exactly what it is doing and hopefully where the problem may be. _________________ Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too |

Very interested to know how to get involved. Got linked to iso this morning on ArchBang forums. Currently ArchBang weighs in around ~571mb, imagine my shock at seeing a similar desktop at 78mb. Are there any guides, link or tutorials to see how Archpup is created? Am assuming you are running a custom kernel/udev and not running systemd |

Just some quick notes to make thing clearer. Arch Linux is rolling release, but ArchPup is not, it uses packages from rollback machine and fixed date 2012/04/30. You could make it rolling release by changing /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, but I would not suggest that, it could break your system, ask you to download 500MB of packages etc. New version will be 12.12, it's finished, but has some problems with udev (surprise  )
not loading modules, that needs some investigating. For this release I had to recompile pango and downgrade it to 1.30.1, to eliminate dependency on harfbuzz and icu or else it would add 7MB to iso. New openbox-menu package don't have option to hide menu icons, and sometimes it just freeze openbox, mouse is not functional and only option is to change to tty2 and reboot. For problems with save file on USB, I will need some help from experienced users, simply because I can't fix it myself. You see that rc.shutdown in ArchPup is very different than in other Puppy, my idea is to, from that file with if statement (PUPMODE=13) call other script and make savefile (add data to it) only on reboot/shutdown, if someone needs to save on USB . New version 12.12-alpha will be released when this is fixed, or maybe it will be 13.01, I'm not sure. ArchPup 12.12 screenshot below.

As Arch uses systemd by default now updating is going to break it. Still think its amazing just for its sheer small size .
Going to sift through your git see if I can help. Openbox-menu removed the option to turn off icons quite a while ago, I know the developer said it could be built with the option [not tried it!] Currently I use it as a daemon from autostart [due to recent menu-cache update] |

Couldn't see any kernel related info/changes in bitbucket. Are you using the previous one? _________________ Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too |

Problem with loading modules is that modprobe somehow don't find libkmod.so.2 which is inside /lib as symlink to libkmod.so.2.2.1. If I add ldconfig in rc.sysinit, then it works, but that command should be run only once (not on every boot like now) if you boot with save file, but always if not using savefile. Also I added grub4dosconfig so installation to hard disk or usb (it supports usb also) will now be possible, and moved squash-tools from arch-dev to arch-base to make it possible to remaster without dev sfs or using pacman.. edit: If someone is having problems with pwireless2, is there alternative program you can suggest. I don't need just its name, but also you to test that program, and if you think that it is better, I will add it, instead of pwireless2. |

Hi phil, I think it's probably disc-burning error, if you have windows os try to use unetbootin and make bootable usb (that worked for me), or you can test iso in virtualbox. @stifiling can you please do some more tests with Frisbee if you have time. I'm thinking to add that instead of pwireless, because Frisbee is newer and it shows eth0 info correctly, thats all I can test. |

Hi simargl, regarding frisbee, let me quote pemasu's introduction to his newly released Upup Precise 5.4.X.5:
