It's just bloody arrogance ( brokenman)
Fair call. I can be arrogant at times but only when triggered. I found your initial comment obnoxious.
Thanks for your help guys, the 'excuse' for not making the process automated is ridiculous
If you can jump in the coding seat and come up with something better (contribute) then I would be all ears. I'd love it! Your tone is a slap in the face of all that put thousands of ours of volunteer work to offer you something absolutely free, so please excuse a little arrogance from me. I am one that has lost thousands of hours at your service.
Fact is it won't save to the FAT 32 flash drive where I have Porteus and 'portsave'.dat installed.
Sorry. This is NOT fact. If it was i am sure somebody else would have brought this to our attention. After correctly editing your config file (which you said was easy) it functions perfectly. Pretty sure i even tested it. Perhaps the path you edited in your config file is incorrect. I can't speak for ubuntu but if you are as adept as you say with linux (puppy is an awesome distro) then finding the correct path should not be difficult. If it is then just read the cheatcode.txt document in the boot/docs folder which explains it in a straight forward manner.
@EdP
Really!! Why would someone post a question or describe a problem if they weren't looking for help???
I have no answer for strange inexplicable things. But they occur nonetheless.
You are assuming that a. they can read English, b. they can understand English.
Logically. If they say they read something, and post a thread in grammatically correct english then it is safe to make this assumption no?
How about an error msg when Porteus boots that indicates the save file is no longer found if it's been moved?
When I read the problem I immediately tested it. The system stopped during boot with a rather unmissable error message.
Which would take less time and effort?
In the long run, creating documentation, which is why it is there. Continually answering questions covered in an FAQ chews up time, effort and in my case patience. Not to mention poor Ahau that spent a LONG time creating very understandable and concise documentation.

Let me tell you this: I NEVER RTFM - but use my brain to figure things.
I'm a little retarded at even the most basic things sometimes. If I'm putting together one of those tables you buy that have pictures for instructions i jump in and use logic without reading. Then i use the leftover pieces in another project and pray my wife doesn't place heavy crap on the table.
@Francois
You always have a calm and pleasant demeanor and as such replies to you are always courteous and amiable.
@all
I apologize for going WAY off topic, and I apologize in advance if unleash my sometimes arrogant and always blunt replies on you.
