You might want to test these instead.I wanted Dewbie's remaster.
(Wish I'd known about them before...)
So, to be clear, all I need to do to adapt the stock 2.14x-RC5 to your config (or similar) is --
(1) remove dillo, seamonkey, and firefox.
(2) add the seamonkey tar.bz2 as a manual install.
(3) remaster.
So I revised the 2.14x init boot script, adding the very same "pup_save f.s. check" message BarryK included in 2.17....I have added a message to the console when a check is being made, so that we can observe exactly how long it is taking (previously there was no explicit message that identified exactly when or if a f.s. check was taking place).
Edited 11/24/13For 2.xx and earlier, Puppy used actual fileystem images. Those are more annoying to work with. If all you need to do is small edits, you can just decompress it, mount it, edit it, unmount it, recompress it, and replace it, like this:
Code:
gunzip initrd.gz
mount initrd /mnt/data -o loop
### Now go into /mnt/data and make any edits you need to make ###
umount /mnt/data
gzip initrd
Well...the message was the same.adding the very same "pup_save f.s. check" message BarryK included in 2.17
Code: Select all
pup_save f.s. check...
Mounting (etc.)
Code: Select all
pup_save f.s. check... Mounting (etc.)
Code: Select all

Yes, exact same error message quoted in above post, thanks for the edit,
PLUS can now confirm it doesn't save settings made in bootmanager either!
Really annoying, is there no way to force it to recognise changes on shutdown or preferably "on the fly"?
MANY thanks, clarf, worked a treat!clarf wrote:
Hi a_salty_dogg and Keef,
That error has been present on 2.14X from the beginning of his creation. Fortunately for you, some user just found a solution for it recently.
Please check his post:

I hope this information could help you.

Just noticed...Just confirmed that the correct syntax is:
tail -n +2
so snapmergepuppy can be made functional by inserting the missing '-n' as an alternative to the awk method.
Code: Select all
tail +2
