Downloaded Lupu and burned it onto a multisection DVD, so I can save sessions to DVD. I can see that that might cause problems in the future because each saved session creates a new file, which has to be dowloaded during the logon. Sooner or later these files with number hundred or more and logons will become too long.
I would like to know if it is possible to have the sessions saved onto USB stick automatically like with Slacko? How do I create such a file?
Lupu offers better facilities for updating and downloading programmes, but it does not recognize my Canon camera - PTP i/o error. Nether Slacko nor Lupu recognize my mobile - Samsung Monte.
I had no problems setting up printing even though my printer is connected with Wi-Fi, but neither Slacko nor Lupu can use the Scanner on Wi-Fi. Luckily, I still have my Canon Lide 20 on an USB connection and I can use that instead.

Never tried the DVD option, can't see the point of it to be honest when Puppy wil happily save to NTFS (Windows) partitions or use a flash drive if no hard drive is present. There's no problem with saving to a USB stick with Lupu, or shouldn't be. It's just a matter of recognising what Linux calls it - SDB or SDC usually with SDA being the internal hard drive (sda1 being C)
I think you're asking too much of Puppy to have full printer and mobile phone support, it's reason for being is to resuurrect old PC's that are too slow to run a full OS (Windows or Linux) This is a 100MB distro don't forget, when most others occupy a whole CD (700 MB) or even require a DVD
I use it purely as a rescue disk myself, although I have used it as a full OS when my main PC is down and I need a quick way to access the internet on another machine
