Or one would need a very detailed step for step description to exclude that one do something in odd order.
What about the original scenario you found out you could do totally without a pupsavefile using a dir2sfs and making a zp431xxx zl525332 whatever file that loaded at boot and that way you could keep your preferred setup and still have no pupsavefile this way.
I remember vaguely that it never "took" when I booted.
Have you tested this now in Lupu525?
I prefer Snowpup5 and that one already have a zl513357? file so could that one be opened and I add my personal prefs in that one and that way need no save file?
Maybe too involved thng to deal with for newbies.
Yes, the zdrive method has a limitation. If you make changes in the zdrive that have the same file names as in the main pup-xxx.sfs file, because of the layering system, the main pup-xxx.sfs takes priority. So any changes involving the desktop will be overcome in the layering system.
There is a way to overcome this by copying over these files at startup, but this gets rather complicated and probably not for most people.
