What happened?

This is really a feature request. Puppy Linux (bionicpup64-8.0-uefi) boots and works great.

The issue is that when you quit puppy, it offers to create a ".sfs" file. This is Puppy's "persistence" file. Puppy tries to save the file to the first partition which is read-only, so it fails. I've tried creating a persistence file (which I use successfully with Ubuntu) to no avail.

I'm investigating Easy2Boot which seems to work with Ventoy and will allow Puppy's "persistence" file.

But, I'd thought I'd alert you all directly in case you have some ideas.

Thanks for such a great app! I never leave home without my Ventoy USB stick.

Might wanna check this out, it's a good read to figure out Ventoy's persistence features. https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_persistence.html

Did you try VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT which stops the volume being read-only?
