Upgrading 1.0.6 to 1.09CE without a CD
Posted: Thu 20 Jul 2006, 13:50
Against my better judgement and previous experiences with using versions of Puppy more advanced than 1.0.6, I thought I'd give 1.09CE a try.
Thing is, my cd burner quit on me so I couldn't buren a new CD.
So what I did was:
1....Downloaded the 1.09ce iso image, remamed to puppy.iso for easy use in dos 6.22
2....Copied iso image file to puppy folder in MSDos partition
3....Copied dospuppy.zip and pup4dos.zip programs to puppy folder Unzipped both files.
4....Rebooted to MSDos partition
5....used shsucdhd.exe to mount puppy.iso (shsucdhd /f:puppy.iso)
6....used shsucdx.exe to access files in E: drive
7....Copied all files from E drive to c:\puppy
8....rebooted and returned to c:\puppy
9....Copied image.gz, usr_cram.fs, and vmlinuz to the c:\drive
10..While in C;\puppy typed puppy to start Puppy 1.09CE.
And it worked. Right now I have 1.09CE up and running as if there were a cd image to run from.
Thing is there is no CD in the drive.
Which isn't so bad, except I like type 2 HD installs.
Which I can't do because the installation script looks for the vmlinuz on the CD, instead of on my c:\ partition.
Where can I find the install script and can it be edited to look for the file on my c:\ drive instead of on the CD drive.
Thank you.
BTW, the above procedure, with the appropriate modifications, worked well with Puppy 2.01. HD installation went smoothly and did not need to find files on the CD>
