I create linux-mint-save directory, and tried putting psave=sda2:linux-mint-save, didn't work
No "save directory" like in PuppyLinux. You have to create extra a persistence partition for linux mint.
Alternative you can convert LinuxMint with FirstRibIT like puppy frugal install with save directory ...

@LANdpLAN
where in the Grub2 grub.conf file located?

If you installed Grub2, the file location is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg (by default) Not grub.conf.

esos

As for UEFI vs BIOS: one of Intels has UEFI and the other one has an old BIOS.

I used grub2config to boot on both machines(uefi and bios).

There is a problem with bwpup, it will not save the external monitor setting.

I wanted to make puppy on an ext4 and the only method that worked was using grub4DOS
grub4DOS works only for legacy-bios computer.
grub2 works on both computers(efi and legacy bios).
I found grub.cfg.
The uuid for my external hard drive with shotwell is ca89e3f4-b0db-4b17-8714-2ece9eee672a

Just my opinion:
maybe good idea to put "Newest Posts section" on very top of the page, so the visiter doesnt need to go through all the way from top to bottom and also to avoid hidden recent posting because anybody else put another topic on the same section.

Neither of these could find Puppy as already discussed though Puppy or another Linux always found Windows but not the other Linux
Just add to your grub.cfg, something like this(it is already mention above):

menuentry " BookwormPUP 64 10.0.3 " {
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set $MYUUID

I want bookwormpup to save changes on the usb drive or whatever device I use to have it running but I currently end up in an infinite save loop in which the only ways out are:
- not saving changes
- saving changes about not using the nvme on the nvme
Psave= boot parameter will do save-session ...

esos

Just my opinion, I will never installed BWP for CPU: T7600 which also you have only 3GB ram.
My suggestion, you can install like S15 or fossapup or F96 or slacko

esos

Sofar I know none of puppy linux has auto-backup feature.
You have to do it manually, just in case something wrong with your current save session, you just made.
Save2flash is only offer you to "save" or "not to save" your current session you just made.

The folder is 140 GB, and I can't imagine going through it and changing files individually if there are many instances.
Now you are talking about 140 gb folder.
There are many tools you can use:"imaging tool" in window system and linux as well.
Basically just create an image file and then extract ...

esos

I think, you have to use archive manager.
Direct copy will fail.

I have disabled secure boot in the bios.
inserted a usb stick that I use on a couple of laptops (bionic, F96-CE4 and others on it) - bios still only lists "Boot Device - 4 times along with CD/DVD, Hard disk ". none of the four recognise the usb.

I think your (bionic, F96-CE4 and others on it) on ...

I dont have windows anymore, make sure to turn off windows11 "fast boot".
How many USB port do you have?
Do you have sd-card port?

grub.cfg from puppy is to simple, which not working in hp-laptop for hdmi monitor, see my first post.
multiboot: slacko, upup, fossapup, bookworm, ezos. All tested and bootable, that's why I need menulist.

For a partition type of msdos, no uefi, how to setup the disk? Only one partition of a ext4 file system is enough?
What do you recommend as a minimum for the system partition? It can be ext4, right?
You are good to go with only 8 Gb HD in one EXT4 partition, plenty enough for S15 or LXpup(~400MB ...

Only using the hdmi monitor for hp-laptop, that's what I have.
The configuration grub.cfg is the same like on the hp. Both are multiboot setup which hp using HDrive and dell SSD. I dont use USB.
Dell menulist doesnt show up on the connected hdmi monitor, so I can not choose any OS, just boot up ...

HP-laptop:
Using grub.cfg like this, it will show the menulist on both(lcd-screen and hdmi-monitor).

I cannot login into it anymore due to forgetting the pin code. I turned it back on to the login screen and shut it down using the windows option for it there.

Kon-Boot can bypass windows login password(Not free).
Try ikkiboot(free) may work.

esos

I make this bootable and do a boot.

In my understanding, "You made a boot" after KL extracted iso.
Did you save something at shutdown?
If yes, then the folder in KL extracted iso is already changed, so that's why you got an error while copying the folder.

Thanks fredx181,
I tested last night booting VoidPup64/S15pup in frugalinstall and /home/spot/Librewolfportable Launch as spot is working fine.
Just wondering why /home/spot/Librewolfportable will not run LAUNCH as spot on VoidPup64/S15pup(direct iso booting).
Any other iso(s)booting ...

esos

extracted the LibreWolf-portable64.tar.xz archive in the spot folder on VoidPup64-22.02-240919 and fire up launch as spot. The same problem like TerryH "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded" message.

I used Unetbootin to create that drive, can't remember for certain but seems there was an option when creating the bootable USB drive to create "persistence", and there is indeed a savefile on it that is mounted.
pmedia=cd is neccessary parameter for booting cd/dvd media.
I've never had any ...
