hello regulars,
i'm a bit lost as to what has happened to pups universal installer. I've tried
several different versions & the full install option either doesn't work at all,
or only half completes. Has anybody any ideas on what has changed?
cheers

re: full install
The one in Tahrpup 6.0.2 CE worked for me.
Running it now.
Slacko 5.7 universal installer is a little buggy with full installs.
I had to try it several times before it finally did it correctly.
A clean freshly formatted partition seems to eliminate issues.
Having any hardware age issues?
If you are doing a lot of Puppy installs and removals. I have seen it necessary to actually write zeros to the hard drive to totally get old Puppy files removed before formatting.

As a general rule,[NB 2] formatting a disk leaves most if not all existing data on the disk medium; some or most of which might be recoverable with special tools.[4] Special tools can remove user data by a single overwrite of all files and free space.[5]
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
