What's an .sfs? Will it help me run Songbird?
and how do I use it? I'm trying to run Songbird on my Puppy.
SFS stands for Squash File System, Puppy Linux utilizes these SFS files.
The SFS is compressed, hence "Squash". SFS files need to be mounted like any other Linux file system.
Puppy sets up several "layers" of file systems at first boot and has the ability to add more SFS layers.
With a frugal installation of puppy, sfs files are placed in /mnt/home and there is a bootloader, accessed through the menu that will mount the selected sfs files when the pup is booted.
Unfortunately, SFS files cannot be installed using the bootloader with a full installation. An SFS must be mounted and the individual files placed in the proper directories.
