sfs software pkg in Puppy 525 - -solved

#1 Post by telltom »

I search for answers before i post but i'm lost.
I found info to put the sfs file in the /mnt/home directory which i did. Then instructions say go to : Menu>system >boot Manager. I did and no go. Additional instru say Menu>setup>sfs -load. That's not even in the menu. So my question is, how to open sfs pkgs in Puppy 525 full install on HD. thanks.

Install the sfs install pet.

Alternatively with the puppy search link in my sig you can search on sfs install
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

Ohh Beem read texts better than I do.
You have full install of puppy 525. I am too spoiled only doing frugal install so I did not realize that full install don't use sfs the way a frugal install works.

So I edit out this post

I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Glad you got it sorted.
Now for the sake of fellow posters can you edit the subject of the initial post and add [SOLVED] at the end.

In Puppy 525 (full install),
If you download a SFS package using the ones listed in Quickpet
sfs get tab

They will auto install to a full install of Puppy 525.
