The file changes.dat is designed to work even on FAT filesystems, which are commonly used on most USB flash drives. It may be useful also in cases you'd like to test something system-wide, since you can always revert to the default state by simple reboot (in case things screw up). If you, for any reason, do not like persistent changes, simply uncheck the appropriate boot option and your Slax will start using the default 'fresh' configuration and won't save any modifications. ![]() If your boot device uses a native Linux filesystem such as ext4, then the changed files are saved natively to /slax/changes/ directory without any need for intermediate changes.dat file. ![]() ![]() If your device uses FAT filesystem, which is most common on USB flash drives, then all file modifications to Slax itself are saved into a special file changes.dat, which is created on your boot device in /slax/changes/ directory, and grows automatically in size up to 4GB. If yes, then all the changes you make to the operating system itself are saved and restored next time you boot.
