However, the puppy cloner will not respect one's choice of zdrv-xxx.sfs. It will ask you if you want to create a zdrv, and if you answer yes, it will create its own (6-7 Mgs), not the substitute main file you provided initially. This needs further investigation and testing.

I have disabled this in LazY Puppy. I can run every sfs file i want as "substitute"-zdrv.sfs - even if it was new created and named WhereTheHellAreMyPasswordsICouldNotFindMySlippersAndSoIGetDrunk.sfs

Lazy Puppy can boot with every sfs file as "substitute"-zdrv.sfs i want to boot with. Cool

Hello again, jrb.

Tested your idea a couple of ways in a new puppy alpha being created (not by me). So here are a few test notes that may or may not be useful to others.

Do not put the devx in place of the regular puppy sfs: you'll get a panic message in the loader. This linux loader needs a properly configured "root" sfs with at least a simple /root/ structure in it.

So I created a "root" sfs that had only 12 k (with near-empty my-documents and my-applications directories), but this time it loaded without "panic" and the entire Puppy in the zdrv was available and functional.

However, the puppy cloner will not respect one's choice of zdrv-xxx.sfs. It will ask you if you want to create a zdrv, and if you answer yes, it will create its own (6-7 Mgs), not the substitute main file you provided initially. This needs further investigation and testing.

That's it for now.

Regards.

Interesting. One of the Puppies I tested with this let me use an empty SFS for the puppy_xxx.sfs (can't remember which one Rolling Eyes

), one insisted I put at least one file in the puppy_xxx.sfs and now you've found one that requires /root. Probably has to do with the date of the Woof build they used. Will have to keep testing I suppose.

Cheers, J
