Subject description: easy-peasy
 

1) First, you will need to install 01micko's pet2sfs script which you can get -> here

2) Create a sfs folder inside any linux partition or...
if you are running a frugal install , you can also create the folder the linux filesystem. eg. the /root or /tmp folder.
- I must elaborate on this cause it's important. For example, I am running Puppy (frugal install) on sda1 which is a ntfs filesystem. If I create, a folder named /mnt/sda1/sfs, the permissions will get messed up because I created the sfs folder in the ntfs partition; it doesn't handle permissions the same way a linux partition does.
- to do this properly on a frugal install, what I usually do is create a /tmp/sfs folder.

3) copy all of the pets which you want to combine into the sfs folder you've created.

4) open up the terminal and change to the sfs folder you've created. For my example, I will use the /tmp/sfs folder. Enter the following code
Code:

cd /tmp/sfs
pet2sfs PackageName-1.0

Of course, "PackageName" can be any name that you choose.

5) After the sfs has been created, move it to the folder of your choice. You should then remove everything else in the /tmp/sfs folder.

6) The final step is to test your sfs to make sure it works.

The script can also convert a single pet into an sfs, but you have to name it different from the pet-name.
Done! Now that wasn't too difficult, right? Wink Enjoy.
