Want a specific drive partition, already mounted, when Puppy boots to desktop.
Click on mount icon on desktop.
In Pmount select the drop down menu for the drive partition.
Select mount partition at boot.
Next time you boot the Puppy OS.

Edit /etc/fstab to do it.

It is also of great help.
That's the more 'traditional' way to do it, but bigpup's method of first post is the 'Puppy way', which is obviously easier for a newcomer to Linux.
These specially provided Puppy mechanisms to make such otherwise technical matters straightforward is one of the hallmarks of traditional Puppy design of course.
These specially provided Puppy mechanisms
@wiak is right, our developers have created a wealth of GUI front ends for common task that other distros require you to resort to terminal commands to accomplish. Last time I was configuring one of the 'buntus found it didn't even have a "task scheduler" app. Had to set up a cron job, now that's new user friendly, right.
Thanks
