How to install Puppy into HDD from USB?

#1 Post by Tetje »

I have a Dell Latitude C610 without CD/DVD ROM Player
I can boot Puppy from de USB, but i want Puppy on the HDD.
At this moment the PC has Windows 2000 and Bodhi linux on the HDD.
I want puppy linux in the place of Bodhi.

How can i install Puppy on HDD without CD/DVDROM player?
I have the iso file with unetbootin-win-549 converted to my USB stick

First , Hello !

Second : I have no knowledge about unetbootin .

Third : Puppy should have "GParted" in the "System" sub-menu to delete the installation .

Fourth : Start "Puppy universal installer" in the "Setup" sub-menu .

Fifth : Start "Grub4dos Bootloader Config" underneath "GParted" .

Yep, Puppy Universal Installer may be the way to go, I'd recommend the frugal method, more info at-

Unetbootin allows you to make a bootable USB in Windows and Mac OS-

Frugal lin'n'win

It was suggested to me here that I try Lin'N'Win frugal, and that worked well on an old PII laptop and an HP Pavilion AMD Athalon 64. If you're going frugal, that certainly worked for me:

Are you inquiring also because you want to know which system files you can remove from Bodhi Linux without losing data files?
