Hi, i am new to Puppy. I am using it by booting from a USB flash drive.

When i want to surf the internet, i have to download a browser first. If i shutdown my system, the browser setup also goes away. I want to save my settings so that i need not download it every time. How can i do it?

I know Puppy files can be saved in the same usb drive i am booting from but how? I dont get any prompts for saving files when i shut down the system.

That looks OK.

When you shut down, select "Exit to Prompt". Then type the command "reboot". That may show you the dialog for creating a savefile.

You could manually create a save file that should be found on subsequent boot.

Thanks Trapster for suggesting the link for manually creating the save file. I created the save file manually in my usb drive and on reboot, it took the last saved session. Thanks a ton...
