If anyone ever ends up as broke and whatnot as I am, and ends up having to run
their BBS off a flash drive... be very aware, Puppy Linux does not always save
the filesystem correctly (probably hung on shutdown; I guess with the GUI not
running it doesn't automatically save, as i found out the hard way).
Funny thing is, I was shutting it down to back up the flashdrive on my netbook.
I lost my binkd configuration and probably a multitude of other things I had
recently installed. Luckily, I run sbbs outside of the virtual filesystem
(exactly because I don't trust the virtual filesystem), but I didn't think to
save the binkd config in sbbs's directory. I know I'm like probably only the
second or third sysop ever to run on Puppy (I know there are a few out there
who at least read as a point w/ it, as there's a fidoip package built for
puppy), but thought I'd share this story, from a frustrated sysop. For every
two steps forward, I take a step and a half back... ;)
