Hi guys.
What string do I have to add to menu.lst to boot into Puppy 4?
I have Ubuntu and Windows installed.
Grub is installed in the Ubuntu partition (EXT3),
Windows is installed in the Windows partition (NTFS).
I would want to put Puppy in the EXT3 partition and boot from it. Is this possible? Thanks.

I believe that this is the latest "official" procedure:
1. Run the Puppy Universal Installer
2. Select a frugal install and the Ubuntu partition as the target. Puppy will copy the core files into a folder named puppyxxx.
3. Instead of automatically updating the menu.lst, Puppy will write the necessary entry to a temporary file. Watch for a message that gives the location.
4. Manually update Ubuntu's menu.lst with the Puppy entry.
However, if you prefer to do it manually, try this:
1. Make a folder at the root of the Ubuntu partition named puppy.
2. Copy the three files - vmlinuz, initrd.gz and pup_xxx.sfs from the Live CD to this folder.
3. Add this entry to Ubuntu's menu.lst

Code: Select all
title Puppy
root (hdx,y) (change this to match your Ubuntu partition)
kernel /puppy/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=puppy
initrd /puppy/initrd.gz
Works great
I followed the manual way and it works great. Thanks
