Re: Grub2config replaces Grub4Dos

Could you elucidate? This is exactly what I want to do. I want to create a bootable ISO of my current configuration and place it on my Ventoy thumb drive.
Thanks!

What Puppy are you using?

Use @amethyst's NixOS facility.
@amethyst, have you submitted your package to WoofCE development ?

One or more words that identify this distribution:
• DISTRO_NAME='fossapup64'
Version number of this distribution:
• DISTRO_VERSION=9.5
The distro whose binary packages were used to build this distribution:
• DISTRO_BINARY_COMPAT='ubuntu'
Prefix for some filenames: exs: bionicpup64save.2fs, bionicpup64-7.9.8.sfs
• DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX='fossapup64'
The version of the distro whose binary packages were used to build this distro:

NO_MULTIARCH_SYMLINK=1
• BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;2dee7595a;2020-06-19 20:43:24 +1000'

OK, FossaPup64 9.5. As @Clarity suggested, you can use nicOS-Utility-Suite to remaster an ISO, but it takes some manipulating.
I recently posted "remasterme.sh" which also works with FossaPup95:
viewtopic.php?p=115865#p115865
You make a directory, then put the original ISO file and remasterme.sh into it. Run remasterme.sh and carefully follow the instructions. It will make a smaller ISO file than nicOS-Utility-Suite.

For remastering we should also revisit the woofy package by @sc0ttman
A simple remaster tool for Puppy Linux.
With Woofy, you can customise and rebuild an ISO file, without having to boot it up.
Just choose your 'base' ISO - the ISO you want to remaster.Puppy Linux Forum thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57037

Go to GitHub repo for info, code and download -> https://github.com/sc0ttj/woofy
Re Woofy DL--Unable to DL from that link. Can you please provide workable link? Thank you.
@tosim Does this help? Download in ZIP form.

Seems the link in the oldforum will need to be repaired!
Woofy looks promising. Unfortunately, it ended up failing when I tried it.

It is a definitely older package so not that surprised.
Maybe some tweaking to the code can bring it up to speed.....
rockedge-Thank you. Will check it out tomorrow, hopefully.
