I'm sorry, 8Geee; I'm being a bother to you.

In the last year or so, people have made Puppys which can save settings etc in a directory(folder), rather than the usual file, such as lupusave-may19.2fs

Somehow I like that way, so I wanted to do it with your new s75-2016a slacko

There seem to be a couple of ways to do make a Puppy able to save to a folder. I think gyro et al did it by, among other things ?, modifying the init , which I understand is in the initrd.gz

@8Geee,
If you are not familiar with the svefolder concept, please read the first few pages of this topic.

However the code created in this topic has been superceed by the implementation of savefolder in this topic http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=95922.
The files for slacko 5.7 are mentioned here, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=110
