Thanks guys. I guess it's telling me how much space I have on my .3fs file. However, if I'm using that, how does it not remember the settings... :? Hairy, to answer your questions: I created the .3fs once at shutdown, but I'm guessing it hasn't/doesn't update I run Puppy off of a 128mb flash drive, ...

Everytime I boot up I have to select keyboards to use, reconfigure the video settings, reconfigure internet, etc. Is there any way to automate this? Also, this time when I booted up Puppy, it is telling m...

Awesome, works like a charm! Thanks everybody!! I guess just one more noob question - since I've installed Puppy on the USB drive, will it now always run in RAM or will it actually run off of the drive? Again, thanks a million. I'm going to write up the steps we went through here and put them in a c...

Actually, after doing some research (since I'm still without my Puppy), perhaps it has to do with the supposed "USB boot timeout" issue, found here: http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?p=67209&sid=610c78396f49df7e206bda3437750208 and here http://www.puppyos.net/blog/index.php?ent...

Thanks everyone for your replies! I'm glad to know that this is indeed possible. I copied over the files that you mentioned and I ran syslinux on my USB drive. I also copied over boot.msg and changed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg and told it to display it. I restarted my computer, and...it almost wor...

Hey, not sure if this is still being supported anymore, I thought I'd ask anyway. I downloaded the program and it worked fine - it decompressed Puppy, installed Grub, etc. However, after I rebooted, when I selected booting Puppy at the boot menu, Grub gave me an "Error 17 - cannot mount" w...

How to install Puppy from iso to USB flash drive without CD?

Hi guys, I'm brand new to Puppy and I'm trying to install it on a USB Flash Drive. I read somewhere that the way to do this was to download Puppy, burn the ISO, run Live CD, and then install from there. However, this seems like it defeats the point. Can somebody tell me/provide some instructions as ...
