If you choose save to file then it works like a normal frugal, my preferred method which works on the wife's macbook.
What didn't work right? Can you elaborate?
BTW, it's normal that not all dirs are there, only ones that you have actually written to (as in install pets etc) get saved. It then becomes the top layer in the layered filesystem.
One thing that happened was nothing in menu->shutdown would work.
No matter how I install to this flash drive I can not get it to offer a save option to save to sdb1 (the flash drive).
All I get is make a save file option.
Can someone else do an install to a USB flash drive and see what you get?
The first time I tried (manual frugal install) I got the option window with save to sdb1 option.
Now, after install with universal installer or manual frugal install,
all I get is the save file option window.
Note:
Ok, just thought of something. This flash drive is a Fat 32 format. That may be why not seeing save to sdb1 option.
I just did a test to install Slacko to a usb drive.
It all seems to have worked perfectly.My flash drive is identified as 'sdc1' and it already contained 528.
I added another folder then copied the three needed Puppy files into it,ran grub4dos and booted it.
At the first shutdown it asked me if I wanted to make a savefile as normal and it suggested placing it in 'scd1' to which I agreed.
On reboot the savefile was created and present.
I believe the flash drive is vfat formatted but I'll recheck that later.
