Yep. I never upgrade, so I don't know if it will automatically keep it. I think it might, though. I prefer using a fresh install, so I just store a copy of rc.local and my other tweaked scripts. Then when I put in a newer Puppy, I just copy them in and I'm ready to go.

I guess if you want to find out, just wait until 1.0.7 is done (or use the alpha) and see what it does. I think it will keep it.

could somebody please make a summary statement here or put something in the wiki? I'm confused (again), and this header says already says SOLVED.

Ta- I'm no bigshot around here! :D Just noticed that when an issue is marked solved, there's a newbie tendency to check out the last few posts... and a guru tendency to move on. A mod seems to have 'unsolved' this thread now.

What you've written makes a very good summary- excellent! :D

The only suggestions I'd make for wiki-ing is to perhaps to call it something like Simple Puppy Install on 2 small HDs : moving /home (newbies may not know what /home is); and maybe trim the 'Since I do not understand half the advice I am given on the forum, I make do with what I can grasp.' stuff altho... that's exactly how I operate here, and I kinda like the idea of newbie to newbie advice- especially if they'd gotten something working!:] Not to worry, other wiser heads can edit it up after...

You don't have any fancy html, so you can easily cut'n'paste your nice summary right into a new wiki page. Send up the Lobster signal for any needed help on that! :wink:
