I'm wanting to know how I could make a Command line puppy for folding at home.
What I would like
1) be able to connect to network automatically or with command line questions, this most likely is available somewhere but I can't find it. Automatically would be best so a computer could be booted and begin folding with no user input. Kind of like if a network card is found automatically search for a DHCP server.
2) have that simple http server available so I can install fah to that directory and share the different files with a main computer to view status.
3) should be able to use wget to download fah since the files must be downloaded seperatly as per there license.
I already know that to start folding and the http server I need to add links to scripts in the rc.local file.
Maybe I should be using the multisession puppy for this project so it can save fah config file as well as work progress but that isn't absolutly necessary at this time.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
Also, I've already tried puppy onebone, barebones and the standard download and they all require that I use the network connection wizard as well as include a graphical user interface.
Since this version will be purely for folding no graphical user interface is needed.
Thanks anyone for your help

gave puppy one bone another try and it's exactly what I was looking for
Now I have another question, not sure if it can be done but how do I make it boot to comand prompt and not open the elinks help file
After a little searching typing dhcpcd at the prompt seams to get the networking going so I suppose I can just use that in the startup script.
Now here is a big question, how can I remaster this once I get it the way I like it? Are all the tools for re mastering still available on this version?
Thanks again for the help

Anyone? How do I remaster this puppy? I don't have the GUI remaster script available, can this be called from the command line?
If I go ahead and make the changes, then save the pup save file to a flash drive, then add that to the boot cd, will puppy be able to read it during boot or does it only look on USB or hard drives?

I really could use some help with this guys and gals.
Maybe I should be looking into making another sfs file to add to the iso but I can't find much information on this.
So far i tried extracting the onebone puppy with isomaster and adding a sfs file(if that's the correct term for it) that I made. I made it to try and add rc.local but it didn't work correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's a link to usefull information

a different approach:

To create a new iso with the second .sfs, search for "mkisofs".

It's as easy as this:Josh18657 wrote:...making another sfs file to add to the iso but I can't find much information on this.
1-make a directory
2-build your file system inside it (/usr, /root, /etc)
3-open up a terminal above it and type 'mksquashfs YourDirectory YourSquash_210.sfs'
'210' is replaced with whatever version you are booting.
I tried that once because I misunderstood a reply somewhere to a question I asked poorly. The sfs files on the CD's will only be loaded if they are saved on a multisession CD.Josh18657 wrote:So far i tried extracting the onebone puppy with isomaster and adding a sfs file(if that's the correct term for it) that I made.

btw, sfs is fine. sfs = Squash File System
You should give the remaster scripts a try.Josh18657 wrote:...and add rc.local but it didn't work correctly.
There might be some good info in here:

I'm sure everything you need is here in the forum also. I first remastered about a year ago, after a couple months of reading the forum and did it completely from the command line.
My directions for unmount, mounting and/or recreating any base image or file system in puppy are "hidden" in here (if you find anything lacking, please say so):

Here is a quick unofficial (my opinion actual) current hierarchical snapshot of puppy building in ascending order:
1-Linus
2-GNU Community
3-Barry
4-T2
5-Unleashed
6-Remaster Scripts
It's much more of an Ouroboros in actuality, rather than a hierarchy.
