Title says it, can more than 1 compressed file be mounted at the same time?

I would think so... same as any other file system.

Yes, in fact, at bootup Puppy looks for opt_cram.fs and if it exists mounts it on /opt.

To see the code for this, look in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

So, you could create a squashfs file named opt_cram.fs and put it same place as usr_cram.fs.

So others can be made & mounted; Joes_cram.fs, Mono_cram.fs, etc.

Good reason to keep Puppy small, sleek, & uncluttered, & have many
different addon XXX_cram.fs files so users can easily mod. Puppy.

A utility's needed so users can easily add the different cram files to
the boot script so they're automounted, ie; Browse, Select, OK.
