As far as I am aware, this is a world first, a live-CD that saves back to the CD at the end of the session. So how does it work? "Boot the PC with the multi-session CD inserted in the CD-burner drive -- thus, Puppy 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."

As I understand the cramfs system in use with puppyLiveCD has file size limitations.
File size in cramfs is reported to be 16MB with the total of all cramfs files as limited to 256MB.
I may be wrong..things do change!
