Linux 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."

Multisession disc overhead
by David Oseas on Wed 9th Mar 2005 19:10 UTC

Something to keep in mind is that on a multisession CD-R, you lose about 23MB of space when the first session is closed, and about 14MB for each subsequent session, so you'll probably run out of disc space before you hit the max theoretical number of tracks.
