Actually, I altered my Grub start line a bit before I got 5.28 running for the first time. As I wrote above I had to add pfix=nox (no-X) for the first run. Then I could reboot without entering X but Puppy create its first safe file. Then I bootet another OS and deleted this pfix=nox. With the result...

Dear readers, first I could bring Puppy V5.xy to save settings. With forum's help I finally could. Had to add to my frugal grub4dos install a pfix=nox. After going manually into X and making things I prefer I could restart and reboot Puppy with saved settings. This went good for two times I think so...

Add "pfix=nox" to the end of the kernel line of your GRUB entry. Boot. This will take you as far as a command prompt. Type "poweroff". Now you should see the dialog for creating a savefile. Remove the "pfix=nox". This is what I did and it worked right the way ! Thanks ...
