Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

This example is for fossapup64 but it works for others. I use a third party bootloader called EasyBCD (the free community support): https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/

I just put the .iso in the root of any partition and rename the iso to anything...in my example I renamed Fossapup64 to "puppyy" that was a name I was experimenting with and I never changed it and left it as is...This also gives me the ability to just rename any puppy derivative as "puppyy.iso" with out adding a different boot entry...

I used dvdfab virtual cd drive to extract the sfs files from the iso. DVDFab is a reputable company that has been around for many years: https://www.dvdfab.cn/virtual-drive.htm

This is how it looks when I boot up (I deleted the other same entries I was just experimenting):

On the very first puppy boot up I don't install any software instead I reboot and do a 4GB save file for my settings.

Then after I am satisfied with my set up, I back up that file and keep it in a save place to restore in the future...then I do increment changes and more back ups deleting the previous ones I don't need.

This is how I have my setup currently:
