How do I manually save/not save pup001 to USB on shutdown?
Posted: Fri 17 Jun 2005, 07:25
I'm looking to produce a version of Puppy for use in net cafes. For reasons of privacy and security I want to have my pup001 file to be in RAMdisk only. I will either load it on boot up from a USB stick, or I will manually load it after boot up. If I then want to keep any new data I will manually copy it back before I shutdown.
The idea is that when I use a net cafe I will not leave ANY data behind on the computer. In the past when using net cafes I have often forgotten to clean out the cache and so on after I leave the computer. Besides with Windows you can never be 100% sure you have destroyed everything. With all the session information stored in the RAMdisk, as soon as I reboot I know I have cleaned up properly.
I know that Puppy when booting off USB loads/stores the pup100 file from/on the USB stick. However I am not confident that all net cafes will allow USB booting, so I want to boot off CD, and I don't always want to keep all my cookies and temporary files.
How/where do I configure Puppy to load pup100 from USB and then not to store it back again? It would also be nice to load a default pup100 from CD and then update it from the USB drive.
Thanks in advance,
JX.
