This is probably something stupid I've done...
I'm creating a setup for a Virtual Theatre Organ on top of Mighty Macpup 520. (I'm thinking of it as the Mighty Macpup Miditzer!)
Running from the CD with a save file, I've installed my applications and startup script and everything works perfectly. I then decided to try to learn to merge the save and main sfs to get a standalone live CD.
Read and read the puppy forums. Put a copy the main sfs from the CD on sda1 and used Edit-sfs to open it. Moved the appropriate files from my save file into the main sfs and built the new one - no problems here (that I am aware of).
I now have a new main sfs on sda1 alongside the original save file.
I then reboot into RAM. The system picks up the new main sfs from sda1 and loads that to RAM and everything works - I have my new applications working.
I then rename the main sfs on sda1 so it won't load and reboot from the CD into RAM - which uses the main sfs from the CD. I rename the new sfs I built back to the standard, put a copy of the 520 iso onto sda1 and use ISOMaster to remove the original sfs and add the new one. It then creates a new iso for me.
I then burn a CD and boot with that and everything stops at "Loading Stage2" :(
I didn't think that the sfs file would come into play at this stage of booting and I didn't change anything else in the iso. Is there something else I need to do with ISOMaster? Will this not work for some other reason that I don't understand.
(I'm doing it this way because when I try a standard remaster, I lose the bootscreen and go back to the boring standard screen - plus I want to learn and trying it helps me get there.)
Thanks
Graham
