====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
}
