Ok, did that, but what about the boot parameters?.............
https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic. ... 99#p121699
1. unless specified KLV saves all persistence automatically in /upper_changes
2. RAM2 which allows the user to save on demand or choose to save at system reboot or shutdown also written to /upper_changes
3. RAM0 which loads no persistence and does not save. So fresh system after each boot
I'd like to have a choice of the 3 boot methods on screen. How?
Thanks.
frugalpup will provide boot entrys for pppy,
if you want klv boot parameters ask in the klv section
I need this for fossapup. I tried the frugalpup install as instructed and, and it didn't work. I posted a screenshot here:
viewtopic.php?p=121744#p121744
I received new instructions and used e3StickPup instead. I have the boot stick, but have not yet tested it. I would like to get the boot menu straight before I boot it.
I want to boot from the thumb drive and load Puppy completely into RAM, and also be certain that nothing gets written to my internal drive or any external drive, at any time without my knowledge or consent (not during boot or at any time afterward).
This is what I would hope to see in a boot menu on my writable drive thumb drive or CD/DVD (not closed/locked media):
1) A choice of a clean boot, which boots from the boot media only without loading any saves, and allows the user to save on demand or choose to save at system reboot or shutdown (saves only to the boot media).
2) List the choices of which saves to use (if any are found).
Instead of searching for boot files (saves) on every partition of the internal or external drive, search the current boot media only.
After the above is determined, then the following:
Load the chosen save, or none (for clean boot), and allow the user to save on demand or choose to save at system reboot or shutdown.
My computer has 10,145,308 KiB of memory. And I intend to use a swap file on the NVMe internal drive each time I boot, in case of overflow.
If I want to boot from the internal drive, I will point to it as #2 in the BIOS, and remove the thumb drive, so no need to do boot the internal drive from the thumb drive.
