====Puppy 5 Frugal Install to Harddrive====

Puppy Linux, unlike most operating systems, can live contained on a few files, and can live on a windows or a different linux's partition.

To install to a windows partition, see [[http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy52LuciDualBoot these instructions]].

----

To install to a empty partition, use the Universal Installer, in Menu -> Setup -> Universal Installer.

----

To install to a linux partition, add Puppy Linux to menu.lst.

This is an example Puppy Linux entry for GRUB legacy: (change hd0,0 to where puppy is located, if it's not on the first partition)

	title Puppy Linux 526 
	rootnoverify (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz pmedia=atahd 
	initrd /initrd.gz

This is an example Puppy Linux entry for GRUB4DOS:

	title Puppy Linux 526
	find --set-root --ignore-floppies /Puppy-Linux-526/initrd.gz
	kernel /Puppy-Linux-526/vmlinuz psubdir="Puppy-Linux-526"
	initrd /Puppy-Linux-526/initrd.gz
	boot

This is an example Puppy Linux entry for GRUB2:

	menuentry "Puppy Linux 526" { 
		   linux /Puppy-Linux-526/vmlinuz -- 
		   initrd /Puppy-Linux-526/initrd.gz 
	}
