I would like the versions for Slacko64-V8 using shared qt5, whenever you can. As you know Slackware is moving toward a 'total' python3 vs old v2.x.
Thanks in advance, no rush

You cannot boot from an iso and create a savefile because iso is always mounted read only. You can not create a savefolder because the partition must be ext and the iso is of course iso9660. I am not sure I follow this comment. From ALL of my 2020-2021 use of SG2D to boot any of those PUPs/DOGs ...

If you feel a need to maintain a Frugal install the guidance is fine. BUT, there is NO NEED to do a Frugal.
