Grub + Puppy2(Solved)

Last time I upgraded Puppy, I just copied the contents of the .iso over the existing puppy-files on a fat-partition. Grub then loads puppy:
Code: Select all
title Puppy
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PFILE=pup001-none PHOME=hda7
initrd /boot/image.gz
Now I would like to do the same with Puppy2 but apparently things (or at least the NAMES) have changed. Can I still do the same as previously? --> unpack .iso to HD - change the Grub-entries - Go Puppy ??

Some of the files have changed names.
It should look something like this now
Code: Select all
title Puppy
root (hd0,6)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 PHOME=hda7
initrd /boot/initrd.gz
usr_cram.fs and image.gz are not required anymore.
One nice thing is that you can keep the previous version of puppy if you create a /boot2 folder with the new boot files.

Right! I have 2 puppies coexisting peacefully!
Don't put the file pup200.SFS to the (sub)directory, however. It HAS to be in the "root" of the partition.
Otherwise the boot process "cannot find Puppy on ..." and your system hangs.
