Dingo Multisession
Posted: Sun 17 Feb 2008, 07:53
My main Puppy for the past two weeks has been a Multisession of Puppy Dingo Alpha 6
Now Dingo is still in Alpha - not yet ready for general testing or usage . . .
. . . however the multisession has allowed me to run Puppy with no hard disk - just a DVD rewriter
One of the things I can not work out is where the devx_396.sfs goes on a multisession or indeed whether this can be done (devx_396.sfs is the file that runs the compiling programs in Puppy)
Normally devx_xxx.sfs are placed, if running from a CD and HD setup, in mnt/home/
The last time I used multisession was the first time Barry introduced it. It seemed incredible. An operating system on a CD and data saved on CD.
I remember running with geek glee with my CD from one computer to another to see if a file saved on machine was still readable.
It was! This was of course a test version but it worked.
Because of the inherent simplicity of Puppy, it is flexible enough to run in a variety of ways.
I know Flash is a user and advocate of this multisession method.
Suddenly we need Multisession and there it is. Just works.
Thanks guys
