Re: How to make a bootable USB copy of my frugal BionicPup install?

Captain, you must follow wizard's steps if you wish to do it from Puppy. I never did it before.
I always prefer "the manufacturer's way" (without having to log into Puppy).

Re: How to make a bootable USB copy of my frugal BionicPup install?

I always have a Ventoy USB with Clonezilla, GParted, etc plugged in.
Whenever I want to clone any device, I just crank the PC up, boot from the USB, select CZ, hit some keys, then grab my clone.
That's my version of quick and dirty.

Thanks. This is definitely more difficult than I imagined. I'll try remastering first.

Likewise, Captain!

Re: How to make a bootable USB copy of my frugal BionicPup install?

You can make a USB to a USB clone as well as a USB to multiple USBs with CZ. The other option that I use is via Windows but this is not as quick and dirty, Captain: 1. Connect the drive containing Puppy to a Windows PC 2. Download and install IMAGEUSB https://www.osforensics.com/tools/write-usb ...

Re: Make Boot USB of my Puppy

A quick-and-dirty way is to clone the drive to a USB.
Clonezilla is free to use but make sure the USB (target) capacity is equal or higher than the source.

There is a possibility that future computers will be like VCRs. No internal media. We plug in and eject a "cassette" (i.e. the Puppy USB O/S). It's also good for our earth. Possibly, but from what I see, most hardware vendors will build to suit the planned obsolesce model of Apple,Google and MS ...
