I am building a puppy system on a USB stick, and as I am going about business, I realize that I must find a way to avoid ever, accidentally or on purpose, writing to one of those partitions, obviously.
The sweetest part of Puppy that turned me on to it years ago was the simple method of mounting drives, and this latest slacko version does that and provides utilities for it, which means I am using the right distro.
But enough of the praises

When I boot puppy, it dutifully mounts those partitions, which I cannot have, so can anyone tell me how to go about doing what I need to do in order to be able to boot my Puppy, but to avoid ever mounting what are sd1 and sda2 so I can enjoy it and not be concerned about screwing up the windows stuff accidentally as I go about learning and using Puppy?
I am very appreciative of these kinds of forums and all the time and effort folks put into helping others out, so I often am guilty of "over-explaining" things in hopes that answers will apply

I just need to make it so those partitions cannot ever be touched by puppy. I hope this can be done, and I thank you all for you time and consideration in advance.
