USB boot with pup001 on hard drive
Posted: Wed 18 May 2005, 06:33
Hi,
I'd like to carry my OS of choice (puppy, of course!) around on my USB key to various computers in my life, but keep a separate pup001 file on each 'puter's hard drive, so I don't have to worry about configing internet connections and such each time I boot up. (To clarify, I want my USB bound puppy to read a pup001 on the hard drive, rather than a pup100 file on the key, each time it boots.) I'm guessing that I need to change some options in the syslinux.cfg found on the key, but I'm not exactly sure what. I tried changing PHOME=sda1 to PHOM=hda1, but this gave me a whole pile of errors and eventually dumped me at a prompt (couldn't start X). So, how can my desired configuration be achieved?
Thanks,
ND
