Hello this is an enhanced version of initrd. The initrd was based from X-Slacko 4.2 Features: * More user friendly than the original initrd. * Resume from hibernation support. (automatic and manual) * Improved puppy search logging. * SFS mountpoint logging and multisession folder logging. * More stable (if user attempts to exit the init console the computer reboots) Known issue: if exec is performed on init-console it reboots. NOTE: Edit the DISTRO_SPECS inside the initrd first before using it. (The default DISTRO_SPECS was set to X-Slacko Slim) Download link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2FRkttfZuG0QThTakVNMkhTdWc Last edited by mistfire on Fri 20 Oct 2017, 05:49; edited 2 times in total |

How about a diff from the original init script it is based on. I don't mind reading code, but have too many irons on the fire to reboot to test. _________________ Check out my github repositories. I may eventually get around to updating my blogspot. |

@technosaurus I took several tests on multisession mode but I fails to load the saved session from cd. I noticed that the root cause was it failed to detect the session saved from disc. I even not touching that portion of that original code for searching puppy files. Only some lines of code are added. |

At last after days of struggling. I successfully find the culprit and fix the error in detecting multisession folder. I will try to update the download link pretty soon. |

I have a hacked version of the one from 528 In front of every line of text sent out, I added 4 spaces Reason: On some screens, the timing for the graphics mode and the timing in the startup mode differ enough to cause some characters to be off the left of the screen. The worst I found was 3 characters so I stuffed in 4 characters. This way the inexperienced user need not be shown how to adjust the monitor. |
