Hi Elroy I'll be checking the tutorials, thanks.elroy wrote: Yes, the adrv config override is by design. It allows the end-user to modify the default configurations to their choosing with the custom-builder. If you're moving things to the main sfs, then it would be necessary to remove them from the adrive. You'll want to leave the things on the adrive in /root/.packages alone, though, else the custom-builder won't operate as expected (nor will Gnewpet).
I only use gnewpet with an unmodified adrv/puppy sfs. I also try to preserve and not mess with things I don't understand. There are so many files and components, and I am not yet familiar with many things. I use a combination of the custom builder and manual extraction/editing of the sfs. I try to compare the sfs from the standard/unmodified carolina with the custom ones I had built so I will have some sort of guide, and progress step by step. I also try to inspect the packages and see what I need to change and what I know how to. I also keep a buildnote of everything. Scanning all those directories and files can get confusing sometimes, not to mention the fact that you are working with Identical directories. I also try to keep the integrity of the built-in packages list, I remove the pet/sfs packages from the adrive using the custom builder to reflect the ones I've moved to the main sfs.
My main sfs now loads most of my personal configs, like my panel setups, themes, application preferences, etc.
I've managed to move
lina_xfce-4.10
vattery-0.1
gtk-engines-1.0
gtkglext-1.2.0-i486
gnutls-2.8.5-i486
orage-4.8.3-i486
ffmpeg-0.8.12-1-w5 (modified)
geany-0.19.1-2-carolina
glib-networking-2.30.1-i486
to the main sfs directory. Things seem to work well so far.
I still need to learn a lot of things, and I'm not really good with scripts.
Here are some of the things I am trying to figure out now:
Which file/files/folders/scripts are responsible for the
timezone setup
desktop icons placement/text colors/sizes, etc.
cpu frequency/governor setup
and startup services
and how to prevent the personalize settings wizard from popping up.
I've managed to save all these configs with the custom builder during my older builds, but I just let the builder include my settings and just copied my root to the adrv during those builds, Now I want to learn the more specific things and be able to do a clean build.
Thanks
