How to remaster Tahr 605 from usb?
How to remaster Tahr 605 from usb?
I put tahr 6.0.5 on a usb stick with dd and booted it. I then installed 3 packages. I want to remaster the usb with those packages on it.
I couldn't get remastering to work when booted from usb. I shut down and created a save dir. I booted from cd instead, restored from the save dir, and did the remaster to create an iso. If I make a usb stick from that iso it won't boot. If I make a cd from that iso it boots but doesn't have the 3 new packages.
I tried making an adrv out of the save dir but then I don't know what to do with it. You can't copy it to the usb since it is read only when mounted.
Any ideas? I just want a bootable usb stick with puppy plus a few packages.
Thanks!

You are making it too hard. You don't need to remaster to get what you want.
Install to the USB stick. Install your 3 packages. Then, when you reboot create a "save file" (not a save folder, because it won't work on your usb stick because it is probably not in a linux format) on your usb stick. Make it big enough to have room for growth but not too big. If you usb stick is 3 Gb or bigger, make the save file 1 Gb.
That's it, you should be good to go.

That kind of defeats the idea of the on RAM boot, for example I have firefox 54 on my Tahrpup save folder, but I don't have it on the default Tahrpup that's still on my USB key. And it would be very useful to remaster it so I can use the lastest firefox directly on no-savedancytron wrote:You are making it too hard. You don't need to remaster to get what you want.

Hey just to let you guys know, the answer was:
You just run it on the iso after you remaster.
Code: Select all

It's not necessary to make an iso after the remaster if it's a frugal install to usb.pupiox wrote:Hey just to let you guys know, the answer was:

What I do is:
remaster the puppy on a RAM session with the packages I want to include in it.
Let the new ISO be created.
Once is created, I mount it and take the "tarhpup_remaster.sfs" from it and replace my "tahrpup,sfs" that is in my flashdrive with the remastered one.
Then I simply rename accordingly and delete de old one (actually, back it up until you see it's working fine)
Delete the ISO so it doesn't bother there.

I do not see an advantage of booting an ISO image against a Frugally installed or not, file system.But you need to make an iso to boot an iso from a flashdrive. You don't seem to get the difference between an install and a bootable iso.
all that happens is the iso gets expanded and chooted and seems to have no real advantage in relation to a installed Puppy Linux.
I re-master Puppy Linux by using a manual method described very well here : http://www.smokey01.com/coolpup/remastering.html
this may work for you directly from the USB booted OS you seek to re-master. I make re-masters so I can install or run an OS with some packages built in specializing the re-master....like zoneminder and a CCTV security NVR....ready to go.
