1.1 does not work for me in puppy 4.2, it fails at line 1180, cos the $PUPSFS variable seems not to be set correctly.. I think it is empty.

[8-bit]

I have been using sfs_load-0.1 in Puppy Lucid 520 and I have noticed that my selections to load are ignored on a reboot.
Some load, but others do not.
Since I have 1.22gig free in my pupsave, should this be happening?
Also, do I have to unload all my SFS selections before updating to version 1.1?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I am back with news, I uninstalled the older version of sfs_load-0.1 and installed the latest.
All of my selected SFS files loaded except one.
It was reported as being in the que, but not loaded.
Evidently, my 3 gigs of memory is not enough to load it since I also have a LOT of PETs installed taking up memory.
What brought me to this point was the fact that my kernel source and devx SFS fiiles were in my load list, but devx, although all the files for it appeared in the tree was failing to respond to "make" and "gcc".
Now at least if I see some SFS is shown as being in the que, but not loaded, I know I just did not have room for it along with the other SFS files that were loaded.

Updated sfs_load-1.1.1.pet. Get from the top of this topic.
22 Sep 2011 v1.1.1: free(busybox) version compatible

If you are using v1.1 with no problem, you need not upgrade to v1.1.1.
The version 1.1.1 is a fix for incompatible busybox on some pupplets.

shino, thanks for the update mate

I have been using 1.1 for awhile in slacko very successfully.

1.1.1 is going straight in.

<ot>Just to draw your attention, some stuff as you know is updated in gtkdialog. Slacko is going with the cutting edge version (for better or worse ), but I will let you know there is syntax that should be corrected for some icons in some of your apps. (does not affect sfs_load, I think grub4dos-config it does)

[edit, actually it's only an "input file stock" error for gtkdialog-info]

Sorry about OT!

Cheers Mick

@mories
maybe i understand the problem.

Old puppies always mount the partition that has the main sfs.
Recent puppies unmount the partition if the PC has enough RAM to store the whole sfs.
The sfs_load mounts the patition as old puppies.

Ok, it will be fixed. Please wait a while.
Tnx mories.

UPDATE: sfs_load-1.2.pet. See the top of this topic.

This is a small bugfix release. You need not upgrade if you are happy with the version you are currently using.
But all the pupplet developers are encouraged to upgrade to this new version for their new release.

#26 Sep 2011 v1.2: fix was undesired mount (thanks to mories), fix was fleezed input in combobox, fix ramsize

Hi,

I have Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 running on a 2GB flash drive, and PUPMODE=7.

I tried to use Load-on-the-Fly for lupu_devx_528-3.sfs, but it told me that this is experimental for PUPMODE=7. I clicked OK to this message. It then gave me a fatal error (see screenshot, attached).

link in first post downloads a file named sfs_load-1.2.gz,
just rename it to sfs_load-1.2.pet and it will install
Edit: its fixed now

[shinobar]

Test release: sfs_load-1.2.9.pet available. See the top post.
The first supports unionfs (Racy 5.1.110). Also expected to work on usual Puppy.
(Version 1.2 and older do not support most recent Racy 5.1.110, kernel 3.0.7 with unionfs patch. )

Any body can give me a clue or a link, how run this apps at transparent background (command line) without gui? This because I love fresh frugal, and control the system with startup script.
Before, I created a startup script, and use ln or cp command. Of course this method have a lot trouble and work.
Thanks ....

Thank you Shino

Sfs_load-1.2.9 was able to successfully load the latest Racy devx (unionfs) and libreoffice-3.4.3, an sfs I had previously constructed. (Applications tested and working).

Cheers

Working for me as well, in a Puppy 4.2 derivative... Great stuff...
