(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Firstly, I am a Linux newbie and only created my multi-session Puppy CD today.
I created a 'normal' bootable CD using burncdcc (as recommended) This created my first Puppy installation.
Then from inside Puppy is used the cdrecord command:

cdrecord -multi -data -eject -v speed=4 dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 puppy-1.0.4-mozilla.iso

Worked perfectly and impressed by Puppy.

My problem is that I installed Skype on my Multi-session copy of Puppy.
It worked perfectly straight after install. Then I shut down the system. Puppy said it was copying back to the CD and did create a new directory on the CD. But when I restart PuppyLinux Skype is no longer there.

Actually, no matter what I install it isn't being kept on the reboot.

I'm obviously doing something wrong but have no idea where to start.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hmm, interesting, I'll check it out sometime ...there's a lot happening right now.

wow. that's a quick response.

One interesting thing is. I installed monkey webserver from the .pup and it worked perfectly. It was there after I rebooted.

So, it appears to be a things with the PupGet system or something I did wrongly.

I'm going to try again and see what happens. I might just be doing something stupid....

It would seem that the shutdown script, /tmp/rc.reboot, has something in it that is preventing files in /root/.usr from getting saved to CD.
(/root/.usr has all files that have been written to /usr, and that's where pupgets will be).

tried all recommendations including commands before shutdown. burned cdrecord. k3b etc. makes multiseesiion but wont boot afterwards. tried 3 different cdrom(recorder) no good. any solutions yet?

Albert, looks like Barry found your problem and no doubt it will be fixed in the next version of puppy.

Doc, I think the problem you are describing is addressed here. Why you chose to post about here, in the middle of an unrelated post, I can't figure out.
