DataPacRat, it was I who changed the title of this thread, to reflect what seemed to me to be the main topic of the thread. The idea is to attract people who know the answer, and to help people who might have the same problem as you.
The forum might work better for you if you start a new thread for each particular question, rather than ask a bunch of unrelated questions in one thread. Many people will see the title of a thread but not try to help if they don't know anything about the subject. Few people will follow a thread unless they're interested in the subject. Make sense?
If you're interested in trying out multisession Puppy, I recommend starting with a rewritable DVD. Use Puppy's
Menu -> Multimedia -> Burniso2cd to burn the Puppy iso onto it, then boot the newly burned DVD and use
Menu -> Multimedia -> Pburn to add stuff to the same (or a different) DVD. Programs that you add to Puppy will be saved onto the DVD when you shut down, and restored when you reboot.
As far as I know, there are only two restrictions to using multisession Puppy: it needs at least 256 MB of RAM and it won't work in some laptops because of an unknown problem or incompatibility with the DVD drive.
