Bud

I´ll be glad to help you on your next step, as soon as you document everything as you promised.
The other way... I´ll spend time doing documentation myself instead to help you.

Sorry... this is a two way support forum.

i have made a document of everything so far and want to post it however i need to have a link for users to download the document and files so that it will be easier for them to follow.

i need to email you to make sure that what i have documented is relevant to the cause.

how about it buddy

You can request
admin@contribs.org
to create a user contrib upload folder for yourself, see
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/contribs/
This will then be mirrored to the various contribs.org mirror servers.

You can request wiki editing access from your Forum account settings.
Then you can create a wiki article and categorise it probably as a Howto.
See existing Howtos for examples or use one of the existing templates to create your wiki page.
For all the steps involved see
http://wiki.contribs.org/Help:Contents

Other people can then edit, improve and add to your document.

This is the setup for puppy. No need to mount iso, but see description below.

label puppy
  menu label ^Puppy Linux
  kernel x86/puppy/vmlinuz
  initrd x86/puppy/initrd.gz 
  append boot=live pfix=copy nosmp


Found the description here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=2090301486&t=56580

1. Create a temporary directory somewhere
2. Copy the initrd.gz and the pup.sfs you want to embed into this temporary directory.
3. Detach this script, gunzip, and chmod +x the script, in the same temporary directory where you have initrd.gz and pup.sfs (http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=29780
)
4. Open terminal, and then run the script
Code:
./embed_sfs.sh your-sfs-filename

5. Your original initrd.gz will be kept as initrd.gz.old, and the new initrd.gz will have pup.sfs in it.
There you go. BTW - the ramdisk parameter is unnecessary.


Best Regards,
Jeppe

All is relevant... and the correct way is to create a wiki area... HowTo "Boot PXE" with all information.
If you have access, please start, if not, just send it to me jader DOT marasca AT gmail DOT com and I´ll start a post there.
You also can request an account there to update.

I don´t think you should put files anywhere, just information about what should be in what places and informations about how to have several tools working (puppy, ghost, SME7, SME8, ...)
