Greetings, and thanks for everyone's efforts in creating yet another great puppy linux distro I've been using puppy since tahr.
I've just created a remaster of fossapup64, after a long period of bionicpup. The only way I use puppy is without a save file, that is, always just load it to RAM (have changed the grub entry, etc, for it to be instant). Then, every few weeks, I remaster it for updates, etc.
I've always remastered using this guide, which fits exactly what I need (eg, add the firewall to init.d, wifi config on frisbee).

Perhaps I missed an updated better way of doing this?
For info (unrelated to this question), for whomever it may interest (after learning it in the past, I delete .xloaded from root to prevent it from going into the improper shutdown screen at boot, add a few scripts to the startup folder to power off the HD after boot, edit the suspend.sh for the same, and a few other things)[/size]
However, in this remaster of fossapup, a few minor things are not sticking, and have not been able to find a way to sort this one out.
1- I've changed the layout of icons in the desktop, adding a few, removing a few, realigning other. When it boots again, all that is lost. Was not the case on previous versions. Have tried (on fossa), to go to JWM and change it to custom layout, but of no change after remastering it
2- The retrovol is sometimes loaded at boot, sometimes not (random, in different boots for the same image). This was the case too on bionic, so added a script in the startup folder to run retrovol -hide. If it is already loaded, it will just open the volume window (minor nuisance, but no big deal). However, on fossa it is now selecting multiple sounds cards when loading (both from the HDMI (which I don't want) and the analog (which is the actual thing). I change it on the multiple sound cards window to the right option, but it doesn't stick again on remaster (have also found out that the the slider was for the incorrect option, but changing it to the master volume sticks). The problem with having multiple cards selected is that the up/down volume keys and mute don't work (I've remapped them on JWM btw for them to work after selecting the right card)
3-How to have the keyboard layout and locale stick to a specific option on the welcome to puppy window that always opens at the beginning? Since bionic this too has been like it (not on xenial or tahr). I'm guessing it will be a file in /usr or /var, but have not been able to identify it, and also, not sure how I would include a modified version on the remaster if coming from these folders (the above guide allows for files in /root to be preserved)
Appreciate any hints and help
