Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I'm trying again but just wondered,
If I'm formatting the entire drive and devoting it to puppy why does the tutorial make me install it as frugal?

The full install would be a lot better for large apps etc.

Oh I tried installing it with frugalpup install took but it took hours and didn't work.

So I tried the other puppy install tool with the lightning bolt icon.

I pushed the button to quickly make it a boot disk but it formatted the whole 64gb drive to fat32 maybe. It only took minutes strangely.

The max pupsave is 4gb but Gimp takes up about 1-2gb itself.
Would applications like gimp take up space in the pupsave file?

Ok I setup a fat32 partition as it said but after pressing boot on frugalpup it only shows the hard drive (sda) as a possible location to write the boot menu not the thumb drive (sdb)

When I shutdown puppy that was ran on the USB drive it says no need to save the SFS file cos it's a proper installation.

I reboot the os,on the USB drive.

It says it couldn't load the SFS file because of read write privileges.

Ok didn't know I could use windows to shrink it's usage of the drive thanks.
I'll try your suggestions

Ok thanks for the advice I miss the old days where having windows and puppy together was possible within ten minutes.

I booted from the DVD when I created the save file
