Recent developement of the BootFlash USB install option
Posted: Fri 18 Oct 2019, 05:34
The latest BionicPup32 19.03 now has the built-in capability of writing a hybrid .iso to USB stick/thumb drive and recovering the unused space on the stick as an added partition.
How cool is that? Some additional background info here.
One improvement to this process would be to have the newly created partition of the recovered drive space on the USB-stick be available to be used for a save directory or save file.
So far I have been able to create a save directory on the USB-stick at shutdown but the system hangs while creating a save file.
.
Currently the session will save to the partition on the USB-stick but does not recognize the save folder on the Live USB-stick while booting and the folder does not get loaded.
Having the additional space available for storage on the USB-stick is great and convenient but having the capability to boot from a save created on the stick would be marvelous
Hopefully using the recovered storage/partition on the USB-stick for a puppy savefile/directory is already on the drawing board
"Taking the puppy out for a walk" is being redefined.
My thanks to the puppy developers for this new variation of install that is taking puppy to the next level in portability and security.
