How to add a new user account to puppy?

[kpfuser]

Well, how? I searched the wiki and the "How to" forum but to no avail. Any ideas?

Searching this forum with "add user" resulted in 249 matches. These might be relevant:

In future this puppy search engine adhoc added might be of use

Thanks trapster,

The second link is very relevant indeed but the info contained is not what I would like to hear. Hopefully the work Lobster mentions in the last post will be completed some time soon. Till then, there's nothing else to do but wait.

The following procedure might do the job for you:

For each user, make a 2 GB logical partition. I used the LiveCD version of gparted for this. Format them FAT32.

Into each partition, copy the four Puppy files - vmlinuz, initrd.gz, pup_210.sfs and pup_save.3fs.

Boot your machine using Grub4DOS. If you have Win9x, call grub.exe from your autoexec.bat. Here is some sample code:

@echo off
choice /N /C:WP "Press W-Windows or P-Puppy: "
if errorlevel 2 grub
cls

For WinXP, add the following line to your boot.ini file:

c:\grldr="Puppy Linux"

Create the grub menu.lst file with entries like:

title Meghan's Puppy
password abc
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=idehd acpi=off
initrd /initrd.gz

Adjust the (hd0,4) entry to match each partition.
