Nope, lotsa space. The errors are coming when copying stuff into the "image-new" which is the image file mounted on /dev/loop2

Maybe I'm just doing this wrong? I burned a current Puppy CD, moved it onto usb device, configured as I wanted it, now trying to move configured Puppy from usb back to CD. Is there a better way to do this?

I have a pup001 on my hard drive (1.0.6). I did the PupGet for Open Office and a few other things. I selected the remaster script from the menu (I did not select the fast option). Selected a remaster directory on my thumb drive. Created a 110MB ISO, burned it to CD. All I get is the kernel panic no init found with the remasterd CD.

Any ideas where I went wrong?

So ..

I have had success with the 0.4 script only by commenting out the FSSIZE calculation and manually setting the size. It was calculating 122M, but the copy would fail out of space. I manually set 150M and it went fine, resultant iso boots ok.

Now I tried to put that remastered Puppy on USB, and I get the "init not found" error ..

I have a windows xp on a single patitioned hard disk which is NTFS I have upto 3 GB of free space on the NTFS harddisk, Is it possible for me to copy a new pup001 file to C:\ and enlarge from windows then boot into puppy mount the new (renamed) pup001 and use to to remaster live cd.

If not then is there a way I can avoid patitioning my harddisk and still keep my windows xp while I remaster a live cd?

Hi,

Just want to thank you for your great work.

I'm not a computer guy, don't know anything under the hood about this amazing Linux and Puppy, yet I have managed to create many remasters veeery easy without any problems, using your script.

Thank's again !

Hello all,

Last Monday I did create my first custom Puppy CD. However, it didn't go as I expected. The desktop icons came out with my Spanish language captions, but my Spanish language Firefox and Open Office 2.0 didn't make it into my custom CD. How do I make sure they make it to the ISO file?

By the way, I'm using Puppy 1.0.5 with the standard script on a 1250 MHz AMD machine with 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD (with Win XP and suSE partitions) and a LiteOn CD burner.

Also, a side effect was that I lost my Freedoom and my Lucent windmodem driver installations.... I still haven't got around to try and use the pup001 backup file, before resorting to install them again. I'll let you know how it goes.

Warmest greetings from Peru,

Oswaldo Bellido

With Alienx we remastered Puppy 1.0.7 to include Open Office (from PupGet) plus Firefox 1.5 and Thunderbird 1.5 (from Mozilla.com). This combination is really ready for prime time and it is surprising it is not yet more widely adopted (but then we thought the Seahawks should have gone to the Superbowl a long time ago too). Apparently you do need to follow the instructions and export the iso to a ext2 or ext3 folder but then we were able to copy that folder over to reiserfs in SUSE 10 and burn the CD with K3B. You can use this remastered CD to update Puppy on other computers and remaster another CD with even more advanced features!

We wish there were somewhere you could just download it ready to go but it is pretty easy to do the Alienx remaster. We also wish something like MOTV could be included so you could get HDTV and perhaps an option to network other computers while acting as a router.

The title of this thread " Remaster LiveCD from LiveCD without pain "
but as you might of noticed that there are more than few of us who don't have a CD burner and boot puppy from dos.
Is it possible to remaster from the installed ?
yes ,there are few topics that teaches how to backup/restore by using DD or other methods like just saving the pupXXX but what about those who installed it then added/removed packages and set it just the way they needed it?!
how about creating iso from the installed?!
can it be done?!

It's definately possible. And thanks for mentioning it. I'm going to add this feature to HackyRemaster the next time I work on it.

I don't know how to do it with the scripts that are already availiable though, mainly because I've only used HackyRemaster (which I know can't quite do it yet).
