seaside,

Please bear with me. I do not know how to find the items you just requested.

My pup save file is:

/lupusave-Puppy2-12-02.2fs (sda1) as stated when Puppy is booting. I can not find this using ROX.

Also using ROX I can not find "pup_ro1".

I concluded that I am saving my pupsave file when I power down or reboot because when I move items around on the desktop, they come back after booting in the new place.

I told you I need a lot of help.

comcoco,

No need to find any of those items. Use a text editor (geany) and save a file named "testsurviveboot" (can be blank).

Then do a reboot and see if this file is now still there.

Cheers,

seaside,

Thanks for your patience in working with me!

I generated a test file, saved to the home folder, rebooted using the Menu>Shutdown>Reboot.

The test file survived the reboot. This shows that the Save-pup-lock is not working, I think. I guess I did not know that the save covered the whole file system, not just the lupusave.2fs file.

Do you have a suggestion for me to try which I can do?

comcoco,

That result is very odd. Since the pup save file appears from your test to be locked as "Read Only", I can't explain how anything would be saved.

Perhaps you might use Pupsaveconfig found here-

It was made for the latest puppies and might work better for your pup version.

Cheers,

Thanks, seaside!

I will take a look at Pup Save Config

I never heard of it before.
