Yes, surely a good idea. But something to think of: - auto-unmount all ISO files in /mnt - auto unmount all SFS and [2,3,4].fs files in /mnt - Edit: not to forget to make a sync, to make sure cache is written to USB Because you can not unmount a drive which contains an mounted ISO, SFS or save file. Do a sync first and then make sure to unmount SFS and save files first, because they could have been mounted from within a mounted ISO file. I'm using/doing this automatically on every shut-down/reboot in my private LazY Puppy System/s. _________________ LazY Puppy RSH's DNA SARA B. |

Thanks for that info RSH. Good ideas on those extra layers of mount, they confused me a few times in the past. I know Lazy is a very slick modular system with various SFS available. I have noticed that if I write something to a usb stick, and right click "unmount", puppy very graciously will not unmount the stick until it has finished the write that is in the cache. So that is handled very nicely. My needs are simple. After a big thread about shutdown, I have settled with a fast shutdown on the taskbar, and the "proper procedures" (save file etc) in the menu. So far, the combination works a treat. |

yes I added sort -r to the end of the unmount loop in puppy so loop mounted files get removed first but I mount them to /mnt/filemnt/..... so no '+' so a different trick might be needed. mike |

Have been following instructions, event handler is set to 0. No autosave... however i am having trouble locating the menu.lst file. I know there is a pet somewhere which has "shutdown no save" option, just can't seem to find it again. am using macpup 550 `case |

Hi All, The posts on this tread up until this one were written before the mechanism for saving to a SaveFolder rather than a SaveFile was created. Regarding the removal of automatic pupsaves for a frugal install if and when your Pup supports the SaveFolder option, and you've chosen it or are considering it, see the following thread: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=810036#810036. Please continue to post to this thread if your post concerns SaveFiles, especially if it concerns new insights or new problems. Use your discretion regarding posts relating to SaveFolders. This thread is a "Sticky". The other, over the course of time, may get lost in the woods. mikesLr |

Hi all I'm trying to delete my slackosave file, because after configuring AMD drivers for my radeon <that doesn't work well with windows, it was just a test> the savefile doesn't work anymore... so I'm trying to delete it from ubuntu CD live but I've no permission to do that... What can I do to reset puppy to default? pfix=ram doesn't work too, so I want to delete this damned slackosave and restart from the beginning It- possible to do that or I must format the USB key and reinstall puppy on it? |

- Boot your Puppy - create a empty text file and name it for your Puppy (e.g slackosave-empty.2fs etc...) - reboot the Puppy - when it comes to choose a save file just choose 0 for no save file (should boot into RAM without the save file loaded) - remove all the e.g slackosave-xxx.xfs files - reboot Done!

or better: never use some Puppy version creating some save file! it is an historic error of Puppy to seduce to work with save files... take better a Lazy or LASSIE Pup! you don't need some save file at all. remaster once with the easy remaster suite and use nothing more... |

One often can't see/think/say the obvious, although it is face to face.
Thanks.

I frugal with no savefile as well, pfix-ram boot each time (PUPMODE 5) and tend to remaster when I want to preserve any changes. However the 'create savefile' option that I normally click NO to at each shutdown can at times be useful i.e. create/use a savefile for a whille before making the next remaster. |

I also reckon running puppy frugally with add-on SFS's and no savefile is the way to go. I do: install sfs_load > place all extra SFS's in parent directory > make a one-liner script in /etc/rc .d/init.d for loading the SFS's at bootup > do my personalized settings the way I want it >remaster. Save all your work on a partition outside the operating system. If you are one for tinkering a lot with personal settings (like changing icons, backgrounds, etc. on a frequent basis) you still have the option of using a very tiny savefile just for that. |
