That would make sense, since the pupsave file loads just fine without the "ramboot=1" option.

Post subject: File System
The frugal is on a FAT32 partition in its own subdirectory. The 2fs is the extension of the automatically generated pupsave file. I don't know if it's actually an ext2 file, but I presume it is. It's whatever Puppy creates.
Since I'm also using the psubdir command, that's a likely place to look for the problem. Here is the whole menu.lst entry:
title Rampup
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /Rampup/vmlinuz pemdia=satahd psubdir=Rampup ramboot=1
initrd /Rampup/initrd.gz
#End Rampup
My installation quits in exactly the same way Seaside describes.

(I have been eating red herrings again)
An OS started in ram
(do we have a networking booting Puppy)
would seem to be the most secure system
for instant shutdown.
Why might you want that?
Well let us say you have a Puppy droid
flying over a war zone dropping flower petals
(something I recently suggested to a former
defense minister)
Obviously you don't want your petal collection points
or flight path to fall into the hands of the militarily demented.
Droid down
No software.
The flowers are safe.

I've uploaded a new version that hopefully fixes this problem. I haven't fixed the shutdown script yet though. I'll look that that later this weekend.
Lobster, I believe I read there's a way to retrieve data from RAM after the machine has shutdown. But my understanding is you have only mere seconds to do this before it's to garbled to recover. So this solution is probably secure enough for your flower bomber Puppy.

jemimah ,
Thank you very much for this update. I downloaded the new version and it worked flawlessly.
Now if I could only capture the thoughts that were in my head just after I shut down. No.... wait....that wouldn't be worth much
Thanks again,

Thank you Jemimah,
The pupsave is not saved on shutdown, however. If you are going to fix it, would it be possible to include the ability to re-size it as well as save it?
Just asking, I have no idea how it would be accomplished.
Thanks again for your effort and help.

Post subject: Ramboot Test Results and question
I also do not get a pupsave file to save to the USB stick upon using the modified shutdown. I get an error message that says "Boot Device not found, file not saved". I did not take the usb stick out. Everything else seems to work when booting up from USB, meaning that the modified initrd says it detects the ramboot and then proceeds to bring the usb files (including a pupsave stashed on the usb from a previously unmodified initrd) to ram as it should. Unfortunately it somehow doesn't see the boot device when it shuts down...
Is there a way to manually copy the pupsave file from ram back to the usb stick when a real save is needed? I just wasn't sure is the /mnt version of pupsave is up to date. I tried to execute the save2usb script but it just says that the save is queued and the message never leaves the screen.

I've updated the shutdown script. It is now working for me, with or without psubdir set. Please try the new version.
Remember not to trust this script with your important data. Even if the code is perfectly correct, power outages, system crashes, and attempting to copy a mounted filesystem, will try to ruin your day at the worst possible moment.
A better way is not to use the shutdown script at all, and save any documents you are working on to the hard drive (outside the save file) or to a usb stick. If you need to install software or something just boot without the Ramboot option. That way you get a completely clean version of the OS every time you boot; like a remaster, but easier.

Post subject: I wonder if we slip a bit off drinkability...
Subject description: I do admire the thought, yet it shouldn't forget usability
Putting everything totally to RAM limits a lot of HW tolerance Puppy is so proud of. I would limit the RAM-MANIA to those files and folders needed to speed-up the system. There's a lot of them, most of them very light, and a conclusive work of marking them as such and distinct them from others onRAM never really done. Perhaps we should have two to three initrds like initrd1.gz initrd2.gz... (one extra letter/number allowed) to let the user choose. I personally spend a lot of time wondering if separating/clouding some of RAM can open new horizons. Connections become more and more speedy, closer and closer to HD speeds abilities and reliability.

I just tried your ramboot on a frugal install of Browserlinux355.
(Looking for a simple, secure, Internet browsing platform.)
I used the "init" script from your initrd.gz. This did not work, crashed on boot.
I then created "/mnt/tmpfs3" directory in my initrd-tree. This worked fine. Thanks.
But, just one thing:
Since my computer has 1GB of ram, ordinary puppy 431 and hence BrowserLinux355 copies pup-431.sfs to ram.
Your ramboot code copied both pup-431.sfs and pupsave2fs to ram. So I ended up with 2 copies of pup-431.sfs in ram. It just seems a waste.
I did like that it unmounted my sda1, once startup is finished, so the only mounted writable "disk" is the pupsave.2fs in ram, which then gets thrown away.
I setup 2 entries in my "menu.lst", one with ramboot=1 and one without. So if pupsave.2fs isn't right yet, I can simply reboot into a system that saves pupsave.2fs.

Wait, how is it loading two copies? I explicitely set PCOPY to false and PUPMODE to 12 for Ramboot, does it actually tell you it's loading it again?
Potchan, I think you've missed the point of this project. This is only intended for specialized uses that need to have literally everything in RAM.

I don't know why, but i'm pretty sure that it does.
# losetup
/dev/loop0: 0 /mnt/tmpfs/pup-431.sfs
/dev/loop1: 0 /mnt/dev_save/pupBrowser/pupsave.2fs
# ls /initrd/mnt/dev_save/pupBrowser/
pup-431.sfs pupsave.2fs
# ls /initrd/mnt/tmpfs/
And yes the normal "loading pup-431.sfs" line during boot, has "copying to ram" at the end.

I think I've found the problem:
if [ "$COPY2RAM" = "yes" -a "RAMBOOT" != "yes" ];then
should be
if [ "$COPY2RAM" = "yes" -a "$RAMBOOT" != "yes" ];then
I'll test this and report back.
Report: yes, that fixed it.

DeKALB – Responding to a major chemical spill that could have fatal consequences could be stressful for many firefighters.
Doing so in a puffy blue suit with limited mobility and visibility only adds to the difficulty, which is why DeKalb Fire Department Battalion Chief Jeff McMaster was happy to practice with his specialized hazardous material team Thursday for the first time in years.
The Mutual Aid Box Alarm System Division 6 HAZMAT squad, comprised of firefighters from DeKalb, Sycamore and Rochelle, practiced responding to major chemical spills for more than five hours at the water tower on West Dresser Street in DeKalb.
It was the first time in years the county's MABAS was able to do such training because the DeKalb City Council restored some money for the department's training budget.
"It's always great when we are able to come together as a team," said McMaster, who leads the unit. "We're all trained, but different people develop their own techniques and other departments have different equipment, so it's important to see what they have."
As a squad that could be deployed anywhere in the state, or even the country in extreme situations, they need to sharpen their skills, McMaster said. On Thursday, the practiced dealing with emergencies involving chlorine and corrosive chemicals.
Participants practiced in difficult and bulky HAZMAT suits and reviewed how to communicate using hand signals. They also learned to use technology in the truck that showed responders what suits to wear and what chemicals to use for different chemical spills.
Jim Carani, the HAZMAT team coordinator who joined the 24-member squad in 2004, said he understands why training was cut back in recent years because of how expensive it is to operate a HAZMAT team, but the training is invaluable.
"I really like the cohesiveness of the group," he said. "We've got a great group of guys, and we always appreciate the opportunity to train."
DeKalb Fire Chief Eric Hicks said many people do not realize how dangerous some common chemicals such as chlorine can be, which is why it is important for emergency responders to always be ready. He said he hopes to have the MABAS Division 6 technical team train next month as well.
"You never know what's going to happen," Hicks said. "We have to be ready."

No Place Like Home Classic TV Show
It was the best day of Arthur Crabtree's life when his final child left home married. sadly his bliss was short lived as for one reason or another each one of his four children returned to not only invade his home but also his sanity.
No Place Like Home Fan Tributes6 steve from seattle: used to watch it as a student in the UK in the 80's
5 Kath from Lincoln, England: I watched this series through its whole run in the eighties - now watching it again on DVD. My favorite was son-in-law Raymond ('Homeless, jobless, and gormless', as Arthur once described him...)
4 martinrobinson from manchester: I have always enjoyed the show , especially the scenes in the greenhouse with Trevor and Arthur and the very dubious sherry!
I would love to recreate the scene in my garden shed - if I could find room !
3 Chris Mezzolesta from Mentor, Ohio, USA: I was lucky enough to have attended a taping of NO PLACE LIKE HOME at the BBC Television Centre in June of 1987. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and were staying with our friend Michael Sharvell-Martin in London. Luckily "Trevor" was only on film that week so Michael sat with us in the studio bleachers as Bill Gaunt introduced us to the crowd in the pre-taping warmup (as did the comedian who was on before him). The show was very entertaining and it was fascinating to see how they kept the energy going over multiple takes of a scene (though I don't remember a huge number of takes). Before the taping my wife and I were introduced to Pat Garwood and other cast members, and afterward we met the director (Robin Nash??) and all convened in the BBC Club for drinks. I still have a copy of that episode's script around here somewhere :-) Truly a memorable time.
2 Chris Wright from Southport, Merseyside: I didn't find this series very funny when it first came out. Now my children are the same age as Beryl & Arthur's I can relate to it and find the programme absolutely hilarious.
1 Phil Palmer from Darlington,England: I remember the show first time around on BBC1 in the 80s watching it again takes me back to when i was a kid oh! easy times!!, now my wife watches it this time round you always get a good laugh brill!!!

watch the pens classic games dvd. it's a different milke lange than the guy who was on tv a couple of years ago.
I did. I still believe he is good.


text: The Trent Affair was a diplomatic crisis that took place between the United States and Great Britain from November to December 1861, during the U.S. Civil War (1861-65). The crisis erupted after the captain of the USS San Jacinto ordered the arrest of two Confederate envoys sailing to Europe aboard a British mail ship, the Trent, in order to seek support for the South in the Civil War. The British, who had not taken sides in the war, were outraged and claimed the seizure of a neutral ship by the U.S. Navy was a violation of international law. In the end, President Abraham Lincoln's administration released the envoys and averted an armed conflict with Britain.

- Meet the people who make a difference in Boulder County
During his formative years in Connecticut, David Nesbitt had many interests. He had a passion for marine biology. He loved the study of languages and contemplated becoming a linguist.
But science was always his main love.
It's no wonder, then, that while pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry and physics at Harvard University, one particular science course led Nesbitt to focus on science as a career.
"I was impressed with how beautiful and elegantly the course described nature," Nesbitt said.
So, perhaps it was destiny that a teaching opportunity brought Nesbitt to the Centennial State.
"I just fell in love with Colorado and Denver," said Nesbitt, who would spend two years teaching at Colorado Academy, an independent college prep school in Denver, before earning a Ph.D. in chemical physics from the University of Colorado and completing his postdoctoral work at the University of California Berkeley.
Nesbitt is an adjoint professor at JILA, a joint institute of CU and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where he has worked for 29 years.
Nesbitt wasn't in Boulder long before he got involved with the CU Wizards. The program, dedicated to entertaining youngsters while teaching them about science, has presented free shows each month for the past three decades.
Nesbitt took over as director of the program in 1994 and has been making learning fun for youngsters in the Boulder community ever since. His program has made such an impact that he is the 2013 Science Pacesetter.
One Saturday a month, Nesbitt wakes up early and teaches youngsters, who range in age from 8 to 17, and their parents all about the wonders of science. His program typically draws 200 to 300 people, and Nesbitt has expanded his curriculum to incorporate other l topics, like geology, astronomy and physics.
"Kids are natural scientists," he said. "They explore, they look around, they're curious."
He has been instrumental in inspiring Boulder's youngsters to learn more about how things work. It doesn't hurt that he engages his audience in fun and exciting events that often possess a tiny hint of danger.
"The teacher of kids has to be a kid at heart," Nesbitt said, "and I am definitely a kid a heart."
