Re: Adding Puppy manually to grub?

THANKS !!!! I'll give this a try. Yes I am booting from the Manjaro GRUB2. This will save me from maybe hosing it all trying to install Pup alone with everything. HAHA . P.S. I'm keeping Windows because this is my gaming rig. Until I can customize Linux for gaming I'm keeping Win 10.

How to add Puppy to grub2 with Windows 10 and Manjaro?

Ok, here's what i would like to do. I have a Windows 10, Manjaro dual boot install on my desktop PC. I would like to add a frugal Puppy to it all and edit grub to see Puppy. Is this stupid? Is this do-able? Or is there a better way? If It can be done, it sound like fun!

Will a frugal install copy all apps & files from my old install?

If I make a frugal install on a thumb drive from the PC I am using now, will it copy all of my tweeks, apps, and files to the new install? Why I am asking is that I would like to have a copy so that when I load on a new PC I won't have to re-set everything back up.
