~When saving to a multi-session disk, it uses save directories. It makes a new save directory each time a save is done to the multi-session disk.
~What you end up with is a bunch of different save directories. It is part of how saving to a multi-session disc works for burning to and reading from. They do not use a single save file that gets updated.

Deletions:
~**""SaveFiles""** (also known as ""PupSave"" files) contains additions and changes to a [[InstallationFrugal Frugal Installation]] of Puppy. Anything that is stored in the linux file system ([[RootFS]]).
~To save documents outside of ""Pup SaveFile"" go to ##/mnt/##. For example, ##/mnt/home## is the root directory/folder of your primary drive (C: drive in Windows speak).
~For more information about the layered file system see [[http://puppylinux.com/development/howpuppyworks.html How Puppy works]].
==Boot Up==
~Puppy's behavior on boot up depends whether any [[SaveFile savefiles]] are found:
~~If none are found Puppy will load the [[BaseSFS]] without any modifications. In many versions this will prompt the user to configure Puppy, also on reboot/shutdown the user is asked whether to create a save.
~~If only one save is found it will load automatically.
~~If more than one is found the user is prompted to select via a text menu.
~Note: the boot files on a multi-session disk work differently from those used for live disk and frugal installs. They look for and make save files differently, see [[SaveFileMultiSession Save file multi-session]] for more information.
