seems picopup is waay to small for me. I got a 2gb cardflash and well I dont need it for music. Althought it might be nice I am not sure even that distri has support for my audio card. (I am on a norhtec)
Even if I get a barebone like that distro how can I get everything in if I can't even ssh into the box?
as for one bone the link to the actual CLI apps that include is broken and when I wan tto go to the topic of the correct URL I found a tutorial on installing Puppy on the HD.
Anyway I can tell what does OneBone has?

If you know your way around grub, you could even:
Download, mount iso, pull out important files, and configure a frugal install without touching a CD. I personally find that faster and easier, but I've also been doing it for years now so I've had lots of practice.

Can you mention those files?
Since I really want to do a painless upgrade I would need to be able to have those files set in place. Studying PL I see that most things are loop mounted so in theory it will just be a matter of remounting a different branch of the new system.

initrd.gz, vmlinuz, pup_xxx.sfs, zdrv_xxx.sfs. (xxx will be the version number, 217 for 2.17 for example).
Generally, I tend to lay it out with initrd.gz and vmlinuz in /mnt/sda5/boot/puppy/ and pup_xxx.sfs and zdrv_xxx.sfs in /mnt/sda5/. Then I use a grub entry like this:
Code: Select all
#
title Puppy 2.14
lock
rootnoverify (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/puppy/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 vga=normal PMEDIA=satahd
initrd /boot/puppy/initrd.gz
#
You'd have to adjust everything to match your particular situation though. If not using a SATA harddrive, replace "satahd" with "idehd". Change partition numbers for wherever you install it (remembering that grub uses different numbering, indexing at 0 instead of 1), etc.
There are probably more in-depth guides around the forum.
The "lock" part is because I have Grub configured with password protection. Not as secure as encryption, but it's actually more than I need considering I keep my room locked whenever I'm away. Though my roommates from last year are into lock picking, so maybe it is a good idea to keep basic password protection....
Hope that helps
