converting save changes folder into module

[brokenman]

The next Porteus 32bit rc1 release contains: save-changes

Boot to fresh mode and then from CLI type: save-changes /path/to/save/your/changes.xzm
It also contains a GUI tool to make your changes.dat file bigger or to create a new one. It will also attempt to repair a corrupt .dat

This is a very nice feature, one that will be quite appreciated. I will surely try it.

Thanks.

I really appreciate those threads on which you come back once and a while. Its good for those brains that with age are getting a little rusty.

Here is what I get under xfce 4.8 always fresh. Is there something wrong^

I see no fault in the save-changes.sh script ... i havn't checked the dir2xzm script yet. Everything seems in order to me ... but keep in mind that you can't save the module your are creating onto the filesystem that is being saved. In your case it doesn't appear to be the case.
