USBkbd & sound settings not saved

[jonb]

Puppy107 Settings all OK on first boot session.
Next boot loses USB keyboard and modprobe sb settings.
I have to delete PUP1 and reset all over--bummer!
Any switches to retain settings?
Thanks for reply.

Are you running from the live CD or have you installed Puppy to a hard drive or flash drive? If you're running from the CD have you only a NTFS partition (Windows XP for instance)?

Running from hard drive.
All runs well in Win98 and Puppy107 on first session.
The screen and ethernet settings appear to be OK when I second boot but the other 2 are lost.
.....not sure if this got through the last time--no msg on reload.

Is there a way to save a PUP1 to the hard drive while still running from within Puppy ? Thx.

the "sync"-command forces files to be written.

My problem was PS2 mouse + USB keyboard booting from hard disk produced no keyboard for Puppy after the first boot so that I had to delete PUP1 before subsequent boots thus losing all my previous settings and data.

I found that my best combination is an USB mouse and USB keyboard which always boots correctly--case solved !

Now if I could only find how to permanently save my modprobe sb sound setting !

Puppy ram OS is the wave of the future. Thx for help !
