This is a world-first. Live-CDs have become popular, but none save your
personal data and settings back to the CD. Most of them can't anyway, as
they are too big, at least for a CD. As Puppy is only about 50M, there is
about 600M free space on the CD, so why not put it to use?
To get going with Puppy multi-session live-CD is quite easy. There is
nothing complicated to do to set it up, it just works. After you have
downloaded the multi-session live-CD ISO file, the only slight difficulty is
that the software that you use to burn it to CD must have the
"Multi-session" and "Data" checkboxes ticked. Most burner software has these
choices. Alternatively, just download the "normal" (non-multisession) Puppy
live-CD ISO and burn it to CD, boot up, and Gcombust, the CD-burner program
in Puppy will do the job. Detailed install steps are given at the bottom of
this page.
So, how does it work? What you have to do is boot the PC with the
multi-session CD inserted in the CD-burner drive -- thus, Puppy
automatically knows which drive is the CD-burner, in case you have more than
one CD/DVD drive. Then you use Puppy in the normal way.
At shutdown, all the changed files in your home directory are saved back to
CD. That's it. Next time you boot, all the personal files are restored.
