upx'd apps called from init

sed seems to run, but empty output. Yet, after bootup, sed works

upx uses /usr/lib/libz.so to unzip in ram ... so if /usr is not mounted, upx'd apps won't work

Okay, so why does the upx'd sed work in init in Puppy 1.0.6 and earlier?

Besides, libz.so is in /lib.

Hey,

Have you tried version 1.93 ?

I know it is officially unstable but (under Linux)
it has proved to be more reliable for me.

libz.so does seem to be in /lib ... i noticed it was in /usr/lib (because i have usr_devx.sfs installed), and didn't notice it was in /lib too

basically, i remembered that when i experimented with making a libz package, i once made an incorrect symlink and X wouldn't start because i had a UPXed Icewm binary, and Icewm wouldn't start when i broke libz.so ... so i know UPX uses libz

in that case, i'm not sure what the problem is with sed
