Remove automatic pupsave for frugal installs

[mikeslr]

Because of changes to how Puppies now work, additional possibilities now available, and my better understanding since it was originally posted, I have substantially rewritten this post, http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 066#974066

Hi mikeslr,
Thank you for the tutorial on Save File. Your explanation is most helpful.

My machine is a Dell Inspiron N7010 with 6GB of RAM, 64bit, no HDD
I am running as root.
BionicBeaver-64 is running from a 2.0 flash drive.

My question concerns ZOOM meetings and the interruption of the savefile during the transmission.

During a ZOOM meeting the savefile kicks on and the screen and sound freeze for the time it takes the savefile to save.

Is there a simple way to delay the savefile activity just for a session?

Could the 30 minutes be changed to another number? like 999 then changed back after I'm done with the session?

I'm ok with the savefile saving every 30 minutes otherwise. (maybe after studying your tutorial more I'll have second thoughts about that, but, for now...)

Edit: Mikeslr, Would you prefer that I post this question on your other thread? http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 066#974066

Sky, could edit /etc/eventmanager & set RAMSAVEINTERVAL=0 (no periodic save).
Can alternatively, via the System menu, open Puppy Event Manager & change Save Session settings.

Perfect! Thank you, ozsouth.

I'm choosing the Puppy Event Manager option.
