DIR-to-ISO 2.0
Posted: Tue 04 Dec 2012, 05:56
Hello.
Before I've had written the LazY Puppy LazY Remaster Suite I did forget sometimes to keep files in /root or /etc. So, everytime then I had to choose, to make a new remaster to put these files into the os or to edit the sfs manually. Remastering needs time, editing manually results in a non-bootable iso, if the new iso would be made then via the right-click option dir-to-iso (script in /usr/bin).
So, to get a bootable iso one has to remaster anyway.
I have now refined the script dir-to-iso in /usr/bin in a way, that it is now usable to create bootable iso files.
It checks if the directory to build a iso from contains a bootloader like grldr and/or isolinux.bin. If, it creates a bootable iso, if not, it creates the standard iso as usual.
The attached .pet installs the new script, renames the old script to dir-to-iso-old and then renames the new script to dir-to-iso. It contains only the new dir-to-iso script. If your puppy doesn't have the right-click option to use this script with right-click action on a directory, you have to define this feature by youself.
I did not want this .pet to change anything else, but the dir-to-iso script.
Hope this works for you and your puppy.
