NOTES:
About installing BIOS files and other stuff:
Generally do this before creating a save file, as it will work faster, until I update the package manager. Also, BIOS files seem to download (wrongly) to /root after a save file has been created - so go there to install them..
About not finding save files:
I have noticed that you need to remove the 'pmedia=usbflash' option from the menu.lst GRUB boot menu file, to get Puppy to recognise the save file...
