I'm running Slacko 5.3.3 from the live CD and simply love it. Have been doing so for the past year -- development, web design, the works.
Just wondering if anyone else is doing the same and what their experiences have been. It's been great for me -- fast and stable.
Peace to all,
Tom
Does anyone else just run Slacko off the live CD?

I was only asking for clarity.
I've never had any difficulty at all running any version of Puppy from a multisession DVD, but I don't save everything on the DVD. I just save things on the DVD that have to do with Puppy: mostly settings and small programs that I use a lot (such as tree). Other more general stuff I save on a USB flash drive that I leave plugged in but only mount when I want to use it.
Since I often switch Puppys to test the new ones, I've found that a configuration checklist would be a good idea so that I don't forget to change the obscure settings and install the programs I want. I need to start a wiki page for a checklist so that everyone can add to it.
I don't like to install large, rarely-used programs and then save them on the DVD. For me it's more convenient to keep them as .pets on the USB flash drive and install them when I want to use them. If a program requires a lot of configuration or fiddling with before I can use it, then I'll save it on the DVD.

Slacko Live CD
I have used Slacko Live CD, it is how I use and try out all the Puppy ISO's that interest me.

True freedom is a live Puppy on a multisession CD/DVD.
