for those that might be wondering about a humongous initrd.
well... it's the sfs in the initrd. but you do need to know what you're doing when making one.
you can do this with unleashed, but there is another way.
you would need to unpack the initrd, and enter the image file for it, on puppy 3 and above, when you remake the image file, if will be adjusted accordingly, but for earlier pups, you WILL need to increase the size of the image file. this is due to the different formats.
i do not know exactly where it is you want to place the sfs, because i have never handled a humongous one. but i imagine i might want to do so for a remix of 3.02CCE if i want a cyber cafe edition.
you can search for the post on how to edit your initrd. and you could possibly search for the other part.

rebuilding initrd.gz
Yes, there should be a way of rebuilding the initrd.gz without using unleashed.
For starters, see Pizzasgood's instructions for editing initrd.gz (for Puppy 3.x and later): http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=25645

Hi Raffy
Somewhere, recently....? I posted a request for network boot to be made an option in new puppies, but can no longer find the thread....
Any ideas?
I know Network booting used to be included in at least debian, and I think, Slackware
I'm sure it would be helpful, at least to folks who don't have CDs or USB boot capability
I'm sure there was a *buntu howto, as well, so it should lend itself to Lupu/Lucid, at least

Net-booting
If PuppyLinuc can be booted over a network, is it possible to take it one step further and have our PCs boots from the internet? Such that booting from a cental internet location puppy would automatically be updated for the user at all times. And we could save our data locally or at an internet site.

Yes, booting from the internet, is the same as booting from a networked PC, in principle

Here's a howto

Bonus points to whoever knows how to add Puppy to the list found by Netboot.me
