Jamesbond I have just discovered that cpio does not work well in FadDog64-600.

I have compiled a new one that can be downloaded here:

You will need to make it executable and copy it to /bin

I discovered this when making graphical boot menus.

Cheers

I burned the fatdog64-601 iso to a dvd and then installed it to a 4 gb
flash drive.
It's working well.

I made a pet of Links web browser version 2.7, the newest at this time.

Sorry guys, but at least we kept it in the Commonwealth.

New frugal installation of Fatdog64-601. Using an existing save file, I first uninstalled the NVIDIA driver, then copied the save file to the new installation. It booted fine and the new NIVDIA driver works fine.

Everything appeared to be working fine so I did a remaster which seemed to remaster properly, however, it would not boot. The problem was that the remaster.iso did not contain the vmlinuz file. When I copied that over, the remaster appears to work fine. Also, note that the base sfs file is 600 rather than 601 in the initrd file.

Thanks for the 601 update.

I uploaded a pet package of Grub-legacy-.0.97 in case you have problems with Grub4dos. It's the same one that was in 521. It will work with ext2/ext3/ext4.

This is a pet for lxterminal, with the dependency vte.
It has transparency, but if set to 0 it doesn't stick. About 5 is good.

Thought you would want to know this.

I did review this download location for the FATDOG600 PETs. It seems that full SAMBA contributed by 01Micko has been removed from the REPO site ===> http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/fatdog/pets/600/
Could it be added back? Thanks in advance.

This was reported in an earlier post as a method to boot FATDOG (for test for example) without the need to create a Live media to boot FATDOG600.

gcmartin Grub4Dos works fine in FatDog.

I have used it to create a number of USB flash drives, with graphical splash screens no less.

Speaking of booting Fatdog directly from an ISO, could someone please try this with a Grub4Dos bootable flash drive?

escucha · Posted: Tue 24 Jul 2012, 02:06 Post subject: Fatdog directly from an ISO

to rcrsn51

Error 60: File for drive emulation must be in one contiguous disk area

This is ever the message, no matter if I put the ISO on root directory nor change hd(0,0) into hd(0,1).

but why load directly from iso?
simply put vmlinuz and initrd onto a directory and try this:

title Linux 'fatdog64-601-firefox' <-- the directory name at will
kernel /fatdog64-601-firefox/vmlinuz psubdir=fatdog64-601-firefox
initrd /fatdog64-601-firefox/initrd
