No USB or HD installation, just a saved session.
When you exit a live cd session, puppy asks if you want to save it to the cd or to a partition of your choice.
I save it to my USB vfat partition, choose a small 512MB tahrsave.2fs (ext2) and finally opt to copy system main files from CD (puppy_tahr_6.0.5.sfs and zdrv_tahr_6.0.5.sfs) for faster boot.
Rebooting again from cd, with my usb saved session setup, loads a system without modules loaded!
If the 2 main files are removed from usb and read from cd all the necessary modules are loaded.

That is why it has been updated and bug fixed.
The latest version is Tahrpup 6.0.6
My topic subject was edited by admin or mod, the subject was versions 6.0.2 and 6.0.5 not 6.0
I have tried Tahrpup 6.0.6 but is too slow to start X, only after more than 2 minutes of black screen the mouse pointer appears.
puppy_tahr_6.0.*.sfs and zdrv_tahr_6.0.*.sfs
If theses are the actual names of the files. They are not named correctly.
(*) is not in the correct name.
The files need to be in same location, as the save, on the USB drive.
3 separate files.
These two and the save.
Even if I didn't know that, Puppy "First Shutdown" guides you through it, no place for error.
I am not so sure putting any puppy files, on a USB flash drive, are going to make it boot better, when booting from a Tahrpup live CD.
USB 3.0 speed may help
Clearly you haven't tried booting reading main files from something faster than cd drive.
In my obsolete usb 2.0 system, reading only the main puppy_tahr_6.0.5.sfs from the cd, takes 1m17s to load.
If that same file is on my USB stick, loading takes only 6 seconds.
It depends on the device read speed but the option to copy the main file is there because it improves boot speed a lot.
