   Hi
   I have been using Puppy for a little while now and really like MacPup Foxy 3. However I am having a few problems and wonder if you could help.

   1. I want to do a remaster but cant do this successfully. I run Mac pup from a USB stick. When I click on remaster it asks me to insert the original CD which I do. At the appropriate point I copy over the Root directory to /tmp/root and I also add my Office sfs file at the appropriate point. An Iso is created. I save the remaster on my harddiskbut when I burn a CD it will not boot. If i recall correctly after reading the drive I just get the word boot on the screen. There were also problems with the process. When I copy the root directory Rox asks for confirmation of overwriting files on a single file basis. There is no option to tick overwrite all files. On some occasions I have managed to get this to happen by ticking Force and Quiet in the dialogue box but these options do not seem to be always available and I am a little unsure what is going on. It seems unbelievable that file copy does not have an option to overwrite all but I cant seem to locate it.

   2. I was also wondering if I could use the files created in PuppyLiveCD Directory during the Remaster process to create a new Usb stick for booting without the need for burning a CD first?

   3. How do I edit the xorg.conf file to accept my monitor resolution. I have tried but the edit does not seem to hold on next reboot. I have an intel card. If i get this right will this crispen the fonts or is this achieved by loading a new font set?

   Thanks in advance for your help.

   1 Delete /tmp/root dont overwrite it then copy /root into /tmp . If anything has changed in /ect that will need to be copied also. I know the remaster script in this version of puppy give you the option of adding extra .sfs .I dont know if it really works well. Puppy has always added any .sfs's that are mounted to the remastered pup_xxx.sfs.I dont know if that has changed.The best thing for you to do is just let the remaster script finish and make a new live cd.If you stop it and try to burn later you will need to run the mkiso command and do some other stuff to make an .ios .

   2. If you make another usb stick with your current fox3 all you will need to do is replace the pup_430.sfs on the stick with the one on the new live cd.

   3. Make a safe copy of the xorg.conf somewhere else .Then make sure you save the changes.But if you have a really big screen size puppy may not handle it .
