Puppy Linux: multisession Live CD

Up

A LiveCD that lets you save directly to the CD-ROM -- with Puppy, you don't even need a USB flash drive.
This is a world-first. Live-CDs have become popular, but none save your personal data and settings back to the CD. Most of them can't anyway, as they are too big, at least for a CD. As Puppy is only about 50M, there is about 600M free space on the CD, so why not put it to use?

To get going with Puppy multi-session live-CD is quite easy. There is nothing complicated to do to set it up, it just works. After you have downloaded the multi-session live-CD ISO file, the only slight difficulty is that the software that you use to burn it to CD must have the "Multi-session" and "Data" checkboxes ticked. Most burner software has these choices. Alternatively, just download the "normal" (non-multisession) Puppy live-CD ISO and burn it to CD, boot up, and Gcombust, the CD-burner program in Puppy will do the job. Detailed install steps are given at the bottom of this page.
