Good, that makes things easier. FAT16 is perfect for the USB stick.whittycat wrote:...no ntfs...
Open a:\autoexec.bat in a text editor. The second line should identify it as "wkpup2x 0.1" which is why I call it that.whittycat wrote:...What is wkpup2x? Is that the same as wkpup202?
Below is a screenshot of a directory listing of my stick. Never mind the other .sfs files for now--just put pup_215.sfs and zdrv_215.sfs on. Never mind the "RECYCLED" subdir that stupid Windows put there. Notice that INITRD.GZ and VMLINUZ are in uppercase. Frankly, why it won't boot if these are lowercase (even if the names in linld.cfg are also lowercase) is a mystery to me. Use Windows Explorer (or whatever it's called in XP) or Rox in Puppy to rename these two from lowercase to uppercase. Also uppercase the two marker files (you'll need PUPXUSB when you boot on usb1 using the older WakeUSB. Just copy USBFLASH.).
Ah--I forgot. You don't have linld.cfg when you first start. Create linld.cfg on the stick as a textfile (use Geany) to read like this. It is all a single line. Later you can try changeing PHOME to sdb1 or even eliminating it altogether; you might also later try acpi=on for power management; and later you can try taking out the irqpoll parameter. This, below, is a sort-of "belt-and-suspenders-safe" rendition to get you going no matter what your hardware profile:
Code: Select all
kernel=VMLINUZ initrd=INITRD.GZ root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=usbflash PUPSFS=pup_215.sfs acpi=off irqpoll PHOME=sda1
