Install Puppy USB drive /tmp, UMSDOS

#1 Post by cncuser »

hi there,

i noticed that the /tmp permissions are set so that syslinux
doesnt really install. (chmod 1777 /tmp fixes that) now that
my USB stick boots, i see it has troubles with UMSDOS

cp cannot bla /root/... bla -> waiting 60 seconds -> login

i had no password so i was not able to login

but i remember from the install, that its no umsdos thing at
all, it should not. instead an image should be created with
ext2 filesystem, the installer told me so at least.

i am using the "puppy-1.0.4-mozilla.iso".

any hints would be nice, i keep playing withz it :)

cncuser,

The "chmod" operation that you described for the "/tmp" directory has fixed a problem I first reported on July 28th. Loading Puppy to a CF card was not a problem for me in versions prior to 1.0.4, but the problem showed up in this latest version.

Thanks for your post....
