That statement is wrong!

I tend to pray simple only making save files on the partition booting Puppy, but when I leave pmedia=cd or anything else, the loaded save is determined its presence in the Puppy directory and a number choice if there is more than one.

If you have a save sitting in your Puppy directory and it is not booted because of your pmedia= setting, I have not experienced that yet.

The media setting is determining PUPMODE.

You seem to have a habit. Take it where you want it: https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... ace#p35037

That goal you have achieved - and if you run your puppy in Ram only without saving at shutdown you can do anything within your 16 GB RAM.

Yes it has. And if others want to build on that then I am interested in trying.
