Did you mount the drive by clicking its desktop icon?

Please explain. Did you just put the ISO on the flash drive? It needs to be a bootable flash drive based on the target Puppy.I grabbed the 5.3 iso and this script and popped them in.
Open or double click yieldsMount the flash drive, open the "one-click-installer" folder and click on the icon labeled "install-cd". Before installation starts, you will get to answer a YES/NO question.

You must do this while Puppy is still at the splash screen, not once you have a desktop.If there is an existing version of Puppy on the hard drive or if you have been storing a pup_save file there, you must boot by typing the following option. There is a short initial pause as the Live CD starts for doing this.Code: Select all
puppy pfix=ram
Code: Select all
# puppy pfix=ram
This is saving to a previously wiped 56GB hard drive, no partitions. I get a similar issue if I try to save to file upon exiting. When I shut down completely, and the CD is ejected, nothing boots up. If I try to boot from the CD (no pfix), the I get the errorError saving /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons: No space left on device.

I can only seem to get Puppy (re)installed by running HDDErase and wiping out the hard drive. Then following the steps on page 1. Is there a better way?Performing a 'switch root' to the layered filesystem...[ 20.638705] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init.
