My report on Quirky 6.0
Hi starhawk,
It sounds like something went wrong with STEP3. (Preparation of boot stick or card)
I am aware that I did not provide detailed instructions for that step. They can be found here:
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/HowTos
EDIT 22/12/13
If you are still struggling please see EDIT at the end of my original post in this thread.

Hi @BarryK
Thanks for this project. New refinements as this evolution depicts.
Questions
Understanding the work which has been done for the distro's installation to Flash/HDD units, will there be a DVD/Blu-ray (ISO) for distro's RAM-only operations produced?
Any insights on this versus the past would be helpful if the direction in this area is changing. For example, is it true that session files have no play in this current incarnation of Quirky?
Thanks and have a Happy Holiday Season...Everyone
Edit: 2nd question.

My report on Quirky 6.0
I did another install to a 32gb SDHC card and then installed the
proprietary nvidia driver + wine 1.7.9 + vlc 2.1.2 for windows just to
make sure it wasn't a fluke
# report-video
VIDEO REPORT: Quirky, version 6.0.1

where to download syslinux-4.05-86.pet ?
Hi,
thanks Barry for this quirky-6.0.1 !
...struggling to get it booting from a USB key ...
could someone give a link where to download syslinux-4.05-86.pet?
many thanks in advance and...

Ok after the teaser this is the instructions:jamesbond wrote:Like this?smokey01 wrote:Is there a way Quirky 6.0.1 could be tested in VirtualBox?
1. Create new VM, with new virtual disk - say (512MB minimal, 1GB comfortable).
2. Boot puppy ISO on that VM.
Note: the rest is to be done within your VM
3. gparted that new virtual disk, format it say to ext4 (or ext3 or ex2 ...), make sure to flag it as BOOTABLE.
4. install syslinux mbr: "dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda"
5. Mount that partition, says as /mnt/sda1
6. Copy quirky.usfs.xz to within the virtualbox
7. unxz it - turn it into quirky.usfs.
8. unsquashfs it to /mnt/sda1 - "unsquashfs -f -d /mnt/sda1 quirky.usfs"
9. install syslinux bootloader "extlinux -i /mnt/sda1/boot/syslinux"
10. edit /mnt/sda1/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg and
- change that "root=PARTUUID" stuff to "root=/dev/sda1"
- change "kernel vmlinuz" to "kernel /boot/vmlinuz"
11. umount /mnt/sda1, and remove puppy ISO
12. Boot - and presto ! Quirky 6.0.1 (and it works, boot straight to desktop on VB 4.3.6)

boot to ram mode
Any chance we can boot to ram? Back in the 2.0 puppylinux days I was able to take a full install and compress that image into initrd.gz and do a standard boot with kernel and initrd using whatever frugal or my case testing multisession loader code.

I am not sure why you are asking about the syslinux-4.05-86.pet. Barry describes everything you need to install to any size Flash drive in METHOD A:
See:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/quirky ... -6.0.1.htm
His script “install-quirky-to-drive.sh

Hi ETP !
syslinux-4.05-86.pet is reported in this thread to give better results ...
charlie
(*) got an error message when selecting f2fs : «sdb: not such file or directory»
Yep, i got my flash USB drive formated (sdb1 vfat'ed; and sdb4 not (*) f2fs'ed, but well ext4'ed), and GParted reported to have a boot flag; but it won't boot .... so i guess syslinux-3.73 to be the culprit ...ETP wrote:I am not sure why you are asking about the syslinux-4.05-86.pet.

Hi,
making a new trial, here are all the command line comments:
making a new trial, here are all the command line comments:
and when selecting f2fs format:# sh ./install-quirky-to-drive.sh
This script will install Quirky to an entire drive, and make it bootable
with the Syslinux boot manager, for any x86 PC.
The intention is to install to pluggable memory drives such as USB Flash
sticks and SD-cards. The entire drive is erased, so take off any files that
you want to keep.
The script will ask questions at each step, and will offer a choice of
drives to install to, but of course it comes down to you to make an intelligent
choice and not erase your PCs internal hard drive!
This script should work when running any Linux distribution, however, it
works best when running a Puppy Linux or Puppy Linux-derivative, as Puppy has,
in my opinion, many superior utilities. However, this script will check for
existence or otherwise of those utilities and downgrade appropriately, or
abort if a missing utility is essential.
Press ENTER key to continue (CTRL-C to abort):
1 quirky-6.0.1.usfs.xz
Type number of image file: 1
...ok, have chosen quirky-6.0.1.usfs.xz
Testing integrity of compressed file, please wait...
Plug in a USB Flash drive, 2GB size, or greater, right now.
Also, please be sure that it is unmounted.
Note, 2GB is sufficient, however for a satisfactory ongoing experience
using Quirky, it is recommended to use a 4GB or greater drive. If you intend
to keep using this installation on a daily basis, to allow for plenty of
package installations, upgrades, downloads, etc., a much bigger drive is
recommended, at least 8GB.
WARNING: Many Linux distros will auto-mount a drive when it is plugged
in. You will have to unmount it BEFORE CONTINUING!!!

check again later, after you have chosen the drive)

Hi charlie6,
Ah! You have produced a nice Christmas tree decoration there!
Things start to fall apart at this point:
So no file system is created on the 16 Meg Fat partition. Before suspecting a bug in the install script you may wish to try the following:
1. Use Gparted in a working Pup to create a new partition table then a single FAT32 partition spanning all of the target stick. Then run chkdsk or its equivalent on the stick to check that you have a clean target to work with.
2. Try running the script again but first unplug those other sticks (sdb & sdd) so that the only stick in the system is the clean target stick.
3. If that fails try with another stick or card.
If things go well this is what you should see on the first partition. (Plus one hidden file)

Hi EDP,
thanks for bringing lights to my Xtmas tree ...
Good news:
here are some more stuffs:
- after perfoming your recommandations:
and even changed may USB key to a 4GB one, no success

That's it, sdc is now ready to boot from!
If you want to create a copy of the drive, as an image file, for deployment
to other users, the total size is 1M + 16M + 7M + 3704
which is: 3728MB
An image can be created like this:
# dd if=/dev/sdc bs=4M count=932 | xz --compress --stdout -9 - > quirky-6.0.1-4gb.img.xz
If you do not want to do this, just press ENTER to end script,
otherwise, (leaving drive plugged in) press any char then ENTER:
