Solved

Hi all, Thank you for the help. It was my bad assumption that lead me to thinking the drives were mounted. I have checked again and indeed the drives are not mounted by default. However there are icons available on the desktop that facilitate an automount when selected. I was under the impression be...

Thank you everyone for the great contributions. While the points raised are certainly of interest, they do not answer the original question directly. Asked another way, is it possible to have puppy boot of CD and not display any drives on the desktop i.e. ensure that the drives are unmounted as a de...

Boot With No Mounts Possible?

Hi there, I was wondering if it is possible to boot Puppy (possibly with a cheat code) such that it does not mount any drives on the host system. Alternatively if it does mount drives, that it mounts them in a read only mode. The reason for this is that I would like a way to boot Puppy on a host sys...

Hi, Thank you for the reply. After a bit more hunting around I found that I was able to unmount the USB drive that I booted from, however I needed to do it from the CLI. In short the Puppy Mounter in the application menu does not allow you to unmount the drive but "umount /mnt/xxx" does. W...

Remove Live USB Drive after boot possible?

Hello puppsters! Does anyone know if it is possible to boot Puppy 4.1 off a live USB pendrive and then remove the drive once the system has booted? This is something that you can do with a CD boot. If I try and unmount the drive after it boots I get a message saying that Puppy is using the drive and...
