Boot any Puppy from USB pen/Micro SD card!
1.you need a memory card or pendrive(whatever you have)
2.format it to FAT32/FAT16 filesystem using Gparted(/whatever you have)
3.open terminal and while in Gparted,just make a note of the device name
in which you will be using the puppy.(suppose /dev/sdb1,for example)
4.write in terminal
syslinux --stupid /dev/sdb1
5.done.Syslinux will create on file and one folder in your /dev/sdb1.
don't bother to remove those.
6.Now your /dev/sdb1 is bootable.
7.open or mount the .iso file of the puppy you wish to run.Then open /dev/sdb1.
8.copy all the files of the .iso into your /dev/sdb1
9.rename isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg
10.reboot you Box.
11.Hooooooooorrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12.puppy runni'n da show.ain't it?

1. one folder(BOOT-in it, a file called Bootable_NoEmulation.img)
2. one file (ldlinux.sys)
I don't remember my syslinux version,
but I did it on Pinguy OS 11.10.
you had no luck donig that,which i think of is due to an older syslinux version wasn't capable of .......
--------------------------------------
I tell you one thing-UnetbootIn never made that drive(4 GB datatraveller by Kingston) bootable,as i've tried several times with that drive.one day,accidentally tried syslinux --stupid...........
I got it runnin'.
----------------------------------------
so please ensure the version no.

For me Puppy's Grub legacy still rules also the USB drives .
It has the commandline I learned to use by trial, websearch and error .
syslinux version 3.73 is stable, anything beyond that needs some care .
Had problems using the new xfs support of extlinux .
Recently had burned an Android-4.3 for x86 using four labels for the vesamenu32.c .
Had learned a little by this .
Krishna, nice to learn some new for commandline !

For Heretics
For those heritics who use windows:
http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ does a very nice job
For the pureists, look at how making a bootable version of fluppy is done...
it copies methods used in other Linux distros.
http://smokey01.com/jemimah/fluppy13/
If anyone is insterested I can provide a link to a zip file that creates a bootable usb ready to place puppy on it, and a sample syslinux config files that handles multiple puppies on a single usb drive.

multiboot environment is fantastic.
but,why the headline-------QEMU?
I think it is used in virtualisation cases.
Does it have sth. to do with pangy animes?

animes..I know not but they run side to side and one down the pipe as a timout indicator.
Mike
or better a screenshot of your pendrive opened in file browser.
i just want to see the root structure of your multi-boot envi.
No problem....by the way another stick has XP and 2000 on it using grub4dos for boot too

Problem with booting from USB stick
So, I downloaded Fatdog64-600-seamonkey.iso file from ibiblio. The checksum was correct after the download. I installed the iso into a 4GB flash drive using the dd command on an Ubuntu machine. I rebooted the machine and successfully got to the splash page for fatdog64, waited for the requisite 5 seconds for the boot to start and then...
Kernel Panic.. not syncing up... and so on
Is there any guidance on what may be the problem?
My machine is a Lenovo netbook, nothing special, I booted Mageia successfully from a liveUSB yesterday so I am hoping that I am just missing some configuration thingy that I need to do or a boot parameter that I should be setting?
Thanks

is that a hybrid iso as standard puppy iso will not work by dd'ing.So, I downloaded Fatdog64-600-seamonkey.iso file from ibiblio. The checksum was correct after the download. I installed the iso into a 4GB flash drive using the dd command on an Ubuntu machine.
In which case mounting and copying files would be needed and a boot loader installing.
