I want to learn how to do this from another topic (which would be useful):
How is puppy faster and or better?

One of its modules enables the User to create or modify either a ydrv.sfs or adrv.sfs, or both to include all the additional applications, settings and customizations you've installed. Both adrv.sfses and ydrv.sfses are READ-ONLY. On boot-up they are copied into RAM. The result is that you no longer need a SaveFile/Folder. If you then operate under Pupmode 5 (pfix=ram) after boot-up from a USB-Key you can unplug the Key. Hard to contaminate an operating system which isn't there. If booted from a hard-drive, the hard-drive is dismounted after boot-up. That still presents an obstacle to hackers. Things downloaded intentionally or inadvertantly will only exist in RAM and be wiped wiped on reboot/shutdown unless you first mount a hard-drive and specifically choose the files you want to keep.
First of all by doing the above, should using an sfs in place of the SaveFolder look identical?
I tried doing this by using nicOS-Utility-Suite.
I made an sfs for the ydrv.
Then I put it where the other sfs's are at.
Changed to Pupmode 5 - pfix=ram
But booting up doesn't show any of the menu items I had before when using the Save folder.
The boot up shows the new sfx is loaded.
How can I figure this out?
I'm using BookwormPup64_10.0.6 on a frugal install on a usb stick.
Thanks
