Hey there,
I installed Porteus 4.16.3 on a USB drive and created a working save.dat.
I'm not sure how to handle mount points though. When I use the USB drive on different devices the mount point for the drive containing the save.dat changes, depending on how many drives are connected to the machine. e.g. mnt/sdc1/ on my laptop and mnt/sdb1 on my pc.
I assume there's a way to allocate a permanent mount point for the porteus drive and avoid changing the paths when switching machines, but I couldn't find anything helpful - can someone here point me to a tutorial or explain how this might work?
Regards

Permanent Mount Point for save.dat possible?
Modify the changes= cheatcode to reference the UUID of the drive.
Something like changes=UUID:931F-8716/porteus/porteussave.dat
To find your drive's UUID try this in a terminal window as root:
blkid | grep -A1 "dev/sd"
