Puppy Linux Lets You Run From, Save To The Same CD

Posted by timothy on from the dog-ate-my-homework-jokes dept.

qewl writes "Now there's a live CD that can actually save data back onto its own disk! How does it work? The PC boots with a multi-session CD inserted in the CD-burner drive -- thus, Puppy Linux automatically knows which drive is the CD-burner, in case you have more than one CD/DVD drive. Then you use Puppy in the normal way. At shutdown, all the changed files in your home directory are saved back to CD. That's it. Next time you boot, all the personal files are restored!"

    Actually, I'm a bit worried. How did the passed-out woman end up with her face on the dog's butt?! Hmm.

    Oh man I forgot about that lame mechanical dog! In fact, I forgot about how lame the old show was. Thank goodness they didn't put anything like that in the new SciFi version.
