<p dir="auto">When I try, I get errors regarding the configuration files. While I would expect that when running from read-only media, that it would be impossible to save new settings, I would also expect to be able to start with previously saved settings, that were copied to the read-only media when it was created. It would be <em>nice</em> if saving settings at shutdown would then also suppress errors about not being able to write to the files, possible replacing it with a single dialog “Can’t save configuration files”… or, with a new setting “run from read-only media”, no attempt to even save such configuration files.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there some technique I have missed that provides such behavior?</p>
