Remastering doesn't work in 525 or 528

Wow... this all continues to improve. I'm very happy with the system at this point, and think remastering is the solution to all of my problems.

I plan to run a *very* small save file, and don't plan on saving much after the initial setup. This will also have the benefit of killing Chrome/Chromium's only truly annoying feature, which is browsing history, whether you want it or not.

My last big problem with remastering: My extra .sfs files (LibreOffice, Java, VLC) are not being included in the remaster. They are in the /mnt/home folder, along with the save file, and they are currently "loaded", so I don't know why they're not being added into the newly remastered file.

Ideas?

Edit/Update: I was loading VLC and Java as SFS files. I decided to install the Pets instead, so the only SFS file I have outside of the main file is LibreOffice. Though, I do want to remaster with it being part of the main file. I prefer the added speed of loading it during boot. Plus, of the 3 computers I'll use this on, one has 3GB of RAM, the other two have 4GB, so I won't be running out of memory any time soon...

for each sfs loaded at boot there should be an /initrd/pup_roN directory .

in case pupmode 13
pup_ro1 save file
pup_ro2 main sfs
pup_ro3 devx perhaps
pup_ro4 libre office perhaps

.
.
.

You would need to cp them everyone inito the build directory .
I am not really clear over which should be first and which should be last .
And if the removal of the hidden .wh. files would be necessary in the build dir .

I once made an attempt to remaster main.sfs with an astronomical pet of mine of around 20MB and the devx to boot on 1GB , and caught a kernel panic then .
I am not sure if this had been related due to little ram , some .wh. files-dirs , not cp the needed sfs in the right order or using wrong cp syntax that time .
One thing to watch out : /bin/busybox has to be intact .

I'll just double-check which one is mounted when I get home. I don't have Devx loaded, so it'd probably be r03...

I'm late but this was caused by a bug in remasterpup versions 2 & 3.
There's a botched regex in the handling of the VIRTUALCD variable.
To fix it, replace where it says:

Code: Select all

	
sed -e 's/on[ ].*+//'	

with this:

Code: Select all

	
sed -e 's/on [ ]*//'	

(mind the blanks).

Remastering does not work for other puppies too 2018 because it cannot be done on pup_rw a scheduled in scripts, it has to be done with files included in pupsave
