I finally got XAMPP working correctly on multisession CD. No, not symlinks, although it looked like it for a while.

Copy down from the Puppy Linux Discussion Forum:

So far, I've got Squeak installed on Puppy 210 and 2.16 disk installations. No go for CD / multi-session CD, no surprises there. Need to stick symlinks in appropriate places and try again. I hope it's a unionsfs issue and not a VM issue.

The Puppy Linux Multi-Session CD is one of the great hacks of all time. In a nutshell, you boot into the Puppy operating system from a CD or DVD disk, do some work and then save the work back to the CD by using a standard multi-session write. The next time you boot from the CD, your work from the previous session is restored into your live-CD file system.

It may not sound like much but no other major Linux distribution can do it.
