How to Make a Bootable Flash Drive using ISObooter
13:00 Pm Sucessful try
Near to success. Topic modified here above because useless alternatives. Isobooter is not guilty. I should have learnt to better use DOGstretch.
DOGS are different from Puppy Linux, until now.. They will progress fast, with our help. isobooter is a new way for them. XenialDog is really the better Xenial OS available
Puppy Linux has yet a Puppy stretch running nice (tuxx and sailor enceladus versions tested). Dogstretch will not do better.
13.00 PM Final success. Bookmarks are here in Firefox, proof that previous session well saved and loaded.
Mintpup was there for training purpose
Saves are done on my linux Partition sda3, no need to create a linux partion on the pendrive. However it would be fine not to have to type all the path with my french keyboard.

It does not really matter, i will do my changes from Little Puppy Linux
Changes mean add an iso or splashscreen Y/N

Re: click on isobooter is active from Puppy Linux
Be specific. Are you trying to make the drive bootable? I don't know if the dogs have Grub4Dos, which you will need.Pelo wrote:inefficient from debian dogs

Hi, I just used it successfully, and am VERY pleased and impressed!rcrsn51 (in part) wrote:ISObooter is a procedure for booting many Linuxes, including Puppy, directly from their ISO files.
I copied the menu.lst it produced on /mnt/sda3 (a FAT32 partition) into my "regular"
menu.lst on /mnt/sda1 (EXT4). It works there, too!
Code: Select all

ISObooter boots ISOs as scheduled and is really surprising.

Look at Grub4DosConfig.AndresC2 wrote:Yes I want a GRUB-style entry, but how?
If you are going to snipe at a project, you should at least try it first.I guess you can then create a savefile/folder if wanted? Not so flexible ...
Puppies have a Pupsave created as usual, easily.
Puppies have a Pupsave created as usual, easily. For other Linux, not so easy.. But ISObooter is not guilty, that is the distros that never were able to do saving as easy than with a Puppy. (I am an XeniaDog user too)
Re: bootin on old pc without usb support?
What if additionally there's even no cd/dvd drive? (And slow usb 1.0)pacer106 wrote:does this method of booting from a usb flash stick work on a pc that does not support booting from a usb device?
Some five years ago superuser.com had a discussion on booting Linux from an ISO file in windows with grub2 in windows (I think).
My (and my friends') several pc's have Slacko 5.7 (thanks to having an exe-installer available!) with grub4dos, apparently syntax different from grub2.
(Selected Slacko after burning some thirty cd's. Luckily the exe-installer was found)
Edit: Seemingly grub2 and grub4dos can be "chained" but don't know how
Edit2: Found later http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=74653 Must read thoroughly
> What if additionally there's even no cd/dvd drive? (And slow usb 1.0)
Well, now I found something really useful :
- LICK-discussion http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=435
- and a good collection of Puppy exe-installers https://archive.org/details/Puppy_Linux ... _Installer
_ _ _
So my troubles with the very disabled laptop may be over?
Sadly the Win7 in it stopped working. For this very machine the exe-installers came too late.
Somewhere buried behind the former Windows is a bootloader with choices "Windows" (no more available) and Slacko 5.7 (working ok). The latter brings me to the choices written in /initrd/mnt/dev_save/menu.lst
Now I need a wise decision where to download the ISO not to disturb my Slacko and its save-file. Any suggestions?

Thanx rcrsn51 4 Replying, Yes I did Notice that, But didn't do it because I dunno about how it works out w/ the menu.lst file, also will that Fix the Error 30: invalid argument?
Also I should have mentioned previously while I was running the isobooter script it was sumtimes / often ( about 1/2 the time, but random whether I choose Y or N ) returning
isoinfo: Unable to find Joliet SVD
& I did Run WinContig on All the iso files & they're Clean ie. No Fragmentation... aRe these 2 issues Related?
Thanx Mate 4 Your Wisdom!
