A frugal installation is performed by extracting the contents of the container ISO or ZIP file to any FAT32, NTFS or EXT4 formatted partition, e.g. Wary.

If the target partition or drive contains any personally important files copy them elsewhere if required, because they will be destroyed when formatting.

If, after performing the installation processes described below, the computer does not boot into Puppy Linux from the flash memory device follow the instructions in Appendices 1 and 3 at LiveDVD.

Installation to any external flash memory device and using SYSLINUX or GRUB for DOS as boot-loader

From within Puppy Linux
