How do I get Porteus Mate Live USB to save my VPN settings.
Hi,
Is Porteus Mate on a Live USB able to save my VPN configuration?
How about for Firefox? I would like Firefox to remember my add-ons and
preferred homepage upon start up, and bookmarks of course on a Live USB.
It's a real hassle to re-configure these two each time.
Thank you in advance.

You can use 'magic folders' for this purpose. Open the Porteus setting centre and click on the floppy disk button. You will then see the 'magic folders' option. Use this to save changes to a single folder. In this case your firefox folder would be $HOME/.mozilla
Do the same for wherever your VPN configuration file is stored. The other option is to boot with the changes= cheatcode (read documentation) to save all of your changes.

I'm not sure where to save the changes to VPN using 'magic folder', as I don't see anything labelled vpn file under
guest. Where would I find the VPN folder using 'magic folder'? What does it look like?
Thank you in advance.

you need a "." in there
instead of:
use:
instead of:
Code: Select all
/home/guest/mozilla
Code: Select all
/home/guest/.mozilla

What should i do now?
Actually I never typed it in under "Source" cause it wouldn't let me,freestyler wrote:you need a "." in there

/home/guest/mozilla
Code: Select all
/home/guest/.mozilla
used file system instead to place it in "Source". Left out dot whilst
typing it here. I'm in 'Always Fresh' mode, is that why I got ''you seemed to have missed an entry. Try again"
What should I do now? Thanks

@Brasil
Take a deeper look at the Site.
"The cheatcodes listed here are only those that are specific to Porteus"
