Additions:
~Installing a SFS file in a Full installation is slightly more complicated than on a Frugal installation. Here are a few methods that work.
==Terminal method==
~1. Click on the .sfs file in a filer window to mount it.
~2. Open a terminal in the mounted directory and enter the following
~%%
# sync%%
~3. Click on the .sfs file to unmount it
~Note 1, the ##--remove-destination## option is **essential**. If you only use '-f' to force overwrite, it will follow (dereference) a symlink, that can cause unexpected overwrites.
~Note 2, replace ##/mnt/hda2/## with the name of the partition where Puppy is installed.
==GUI Methods==
~The utility [[SFSLoad SFS_Load]] can load SFS file on a Full Installation. Also, in QuickPet and SlickPet there is the //Sfs Get// tab to load SFS which is compatible with full installation.

Deletions:
Currently, installing a SFS file in a full hard drive installation (as opposed to a "frugal" installation) is slightly more complicated, and you can't undo it. It involves some steps....

1. Click on the .sfs file in a filer window to mount it.
2. Open a terminal in the mounted directory and enter the following
%%
# sync
%%
3. Click on the .sfs file to unmount it
Note 1, the ##--remove-destination## option is **essential**. If you only use '-f' to force overwrite, it will follow (dereference) a symlink, that can cause unexpected overwrites.
Note 2, replace ##/mnt/hda2/## with the name of the partition where Puppy is installed.
==Alternative Method==
The utility [[SFSLoad SFS_Load]] can also load SFS file on a Full Installation.
