Note:
The save folder can only be made and used on a Linux format. (ext 2, 3, or 4)

Version 1.4 is good for any newer versions of Puppy.

Version 1.6 is for old versions of Puppy.
specifically for older puppies whose savefile contains "/dev/null". It uses "tar" to copy the files, not "cp".

Just to clarify, code in 'shutdownconfig' indicates that a "save-folder" is also available on other "LInux" filesystems,
i.e. "reiserfs, minix, btrfs, f2fs" as well as the ext ones.
(That's why 'f2StickPup' produces a usb stick with a second partition formated with "f2fs", and installs Puppy to it.)
