When using ""Burniso2cd"" with an optical disc it is always burnt "open", i.e. the option whether to burn as closed or open is not offered. This disc can become either a multi-session Puppy live DVD or a non-multi-session one. This option is offered when one first boots the newly written disc and subsequently proceeds to shutdown for the first time: one will be asked where one will want one's personal data to be saved, either on the DVD or on some other partition, wherever that may be. The irreversible decision one makes here is what determines whether the disc is permanently set as multi-session or not. So if one wants a multi-session disc choose that personal data and session settings be saved to the optical disc only, i.e. select **//Save to CD//**, and not //Save to file// (the default option). Subsequently, each time one proceeds to shutdown at the end of a session, the option to save or discard that session is provided.

Multisession on laptop
Laptop optical drives cannot handle multisession CD/DVD. This problem has always been there, you have to use have to use a "proper" optical drive on a PC. Probably this should be explained somewhere, before people try, and fail.
I don't know if this limitation applies to all laptop optical drives. If anyone knows of an exception,let us know.
There was a post here recently by Ted Dog, that the Gujin bootloader can get around the limitation:

__Do not use ""CDBurnerXP"" to create a multi-session live DVD__. To record to DVD a running Linux distribution (operating system) is required because one //absolutely must// use [[http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/growisofs1.html growisofs]] (combined mkisofs frontend/DVD recording program) to perform the recording. The ""Burniso2cd"" program in Puppy Linux makes use of ""growisofs"".
