The problem with using a lot of installer programs to do a Puppy Linux install to a USB drive.
The program is doing a good install.
But the boot loader files in the Puppy ISO are still written for booting from a CD/DVD install.
They work, but are coded to look on the wrong device. A CD/DVD not a USB.
The boot loader menu entries need to be changed for booting from a USB.
Puppy Installers, that are in a running Puppy version, know how to make the needed changes to the boot loader files.
So using these installers, they know what is needed for a USB install.
Really, the boot loader files provided in the Puppy ISO, that will boot the live install on a USB, need to be specifically written (coded) for booting from a USB and not just for CD/DVD installs.

This is the best info I have found to work on a lot of different installer programs that are not specific Puppy installer programs. viewtopic.php?t=157
