Does multisession work better in laptops now?
Has the multi-session problem that existed when burning saved sessions to disc using laptops been eradicated yet?

I don't have a laptop to be able to test this on but I wanted to give a copy of my remastered multi-session disc to others who do use laptops,hence the original question.
This is the message I see at first shut-down.
Thanks for the comments.

Have ALWAYS run a CD/DVD based configuration for every PUP I have tested or used in an everyday mode. In fact, I have a laptop that I carry around which for the past 4 years is ONLY booting and operating from its DVD without issues.
I have assisted many people in the past where they were left with running their PCs using PUPs. In every case, they were left with the CDR or DVDR. They were guided in what to expect at Shutdown (as it takes longer) and to NOT turn the PC/Laptop off until they see the PUP eject the DVD magazine.
So far, I have NEVER had a callback on any problem in boot/shutdown of PUPs. (I have from time to time gotten calls on how to do something with Movies/Pictures but NOT issues with shutdown.
The ONLY PUP which is NOT designed for CD/DVD use is Barry's latest Quirky, while ALL other PUPs run with CD/DVD operations as a part of the fabric of PUPPY Linux.
Multi-Session works! (assuming no hardware problems)
Hope this helps

I have been a multisession bunny in the past...barry did not believe I was running in 160MB ram and no hard drive (puppy 1.08 and 2.02) Ok there was 5mb left but hey.... it could browse, flash and movie at the time with a k6....
The hardware thing... if there is one aspect of laptops i see fail its the optical drives...often not completely but enough to get upset .... and laptop drives are more expensive than their tower equivalents so get replaced less.
Hmm perhaps we could make a list of the scary messages...there's is that mbr one for the installer if its still around and stuff for not removing your flash stick ever again....
perhaps you should take the amiga approach and have audio warnings to really make you jump like the bark does ...or a fire alarm bell to go with a pop up...

do you guys recall that one orange themed puppy with a wallpaper that looked like the outback AFTER nuclear war. The poor puppy was photoshoped in the desert wasteland.
Together with the unsoft scary warnings language. To his credit those warnings are not easy to misunderstand. Ive always had a Mad Max feel to puppylinux.
its like the antiApple. more scary is The WOZ is now an Aussie and living near BK...

still have pizzasgoods isos no not that one. It was eye popping but in a optimistic teenager way. That kid has major talent both as a coder, problem solver and eye candy-ier
Wish his method of making puppylinix multiuser dominated, The hybrid spot under root directory bothers me to the core...
But I digressed what was this thread topic again..

That is sad to miss the decade when all electronic devices with buttons had to make teacher angering sounds... TI calculators could make tones to play a melody. Apples sound effects where so irritating but fun...
But to answer posters issue. It depends on the laptop. If you reburn a iso with the directory intact. Then the cd should boot as a multisession but without the actual cd being multisession.. if that makes sense.
if you can wait Ill post code on this thread to reburn a multisession as a single session with directories Thursday. Do you need CD or blueray/DVD scripts?
