Frugalpup Installer

This installer can do a frugal install of Puppy Linux to any type drive.
Frugal is the best type of install for Puppy Linux, because some features only work in frugal installs.

This is a Linux program. It can be used in any Puppy version and maybe other Linux OS's
It is designed to use a Puppy version iso as the source of the Puppy version being installed.

It has the ability to install two different boot loaders or both.
mbr ->this is for old style bios computers.
UEFI ->UEFI bios computers.

Some of the newer Puppy versions already have Frugalpup Installer.
If not, can be downloaded from here:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/rdyc5l ... /frugalpup
Several downloads listed. Always get the latest version.

The Frugalpup download is a sfs package.
In Puppy Linux download to /mnt/home
Use SFS-Load_On-The-Fly to load it to use.

Special requirements for UEFI computers:
Partitioning of the drive Puppy Linux is installed on.
Minimum two partitions.
First one a small 300MB, formatted fat32, flagged boot
Second pr other partition(s) any format, but a ext 3 or 4 format is better to use for Linux.

The boot loader and its files go on the first partition. (boot partition)
Puppy OS is installed on the second partition.
Boot loader required is UEFI boot loader.
More information about the UEFI boot loader in the Frugalpup Installer help.

Strongly suggest read the Frugalpup help before doing an install.
