Questions about using saved sessions

@dimkr, Here, you posted:
Vanilla Dpup saves changes to the /upper/save directory under the partition where it's installed, and this partition is accessible via /initrd and /mnt/home (for compatibility with other Puppy-family distros).
If I wanted to keep a session in a folder on a system drive's partition, I have couple questions and would like your suggestions:
What addition do your recommend the subsequent boot stanza to show to find the session in that folder?
Does Vanilla use @gyrog's SAVESPEC to locate the Session?
Can it find the session using the partition's LABEL?
Thanks in advance

This quote is irrelevant to 9.2.x.
I don't know what SAVESPEC is and don't use partition labels, so I don't know how to answer these questions. Vanilla Dpup uses Puppy's initrd as built by woof-CE, without any customization or extra features.
Have you tried to use SAVESPEC and labels?

Additional info: @dimkr:
Tested booting ISO files of current v9.x and v10.x.XORG on baremetal: The 2 Vanillas appear to be finding the SAVESPECs AND using the contents for boot and shutdown needs...SAME AS WoofCE PUPs. This file is NOT manually created. It is created by WoofCE PUPs themselves if one is NOT present when booted pristine.
The WoofCE team is producing boot consistency across the board with generating PUPs; key evidence attached to give a small external reflection of resulting benefit to a Vanilla boot.
NOT SURE, about DWL or WAYLAND versions as desktops navigations still remain a problem.
