Slax used to be a Slackware derivative, however since version 9 it is

So, if you are clued enough in Debian, can you please show me how to
restore the "Persistent Changes" feature in the Slax with Trinity
version?

Yes, I tried several versions of Slackware: Slax, Salix, Slackware
proper, and a few others (I think) that I can't remember, including,
I believe, one that had Trinity already installed. Now, this was a
few years ago, and maybe my computer skills have improved since then,
but that didn't work for me.
Slackware systems appeal to me in theory, as Frankensteins are not
such a problem (or so I hear); but in practice, I could not get a
Slackware system to work for me.
If anybody has anything to offer - for instance,
how to make any
computer boot from that flash drive? - I would be most grateful,
as the experiment has been mostly successful otherwise.

G'day Bill,
Have you tried Slax?
<https://www.slax.org/en/introduction.php>
A "proper" Debian on a flash drive. Only one thing, it does not
have the TDE/Trinity desktop. However, there is "Slax with
Trinity" <https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Slax_with_Trinity>
which would be brilliant except that the "Persistent Changes"
feature has been broken! I have tried to find how this feature can
be enabled for the Slax with Trinity version, but I'm not smart
enough. :-( Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Glen
