Re: How do I install Puppy Linux in GRUB?
this thread has some pointers. without knowing much of what you have tried already, I would suggest using a puppy to make more puppies
Ok, I admit that sounds nonsensical, but what I mean is to burn a puppy to a cd if possible and use it to make further installs. puppy tools work better for most than generic linux installers you might have found elsewhere.

Re: How do I install Puppy Linux in GRUB?
GRUB2 is built-in all modern PUPs & DOGs. No install needed.
There are 3 ways to boot a PUP distro.
directly from its ISO file
by extracting and creating a "Frugal" from its ISO file
by extracting and creating a "Full" from its ISO file
Are you looking for boot assistance?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected
