i previously had slacko puppy 6.3.2 working on my dell inspiron 8600. I messed it up and am trying to reboot it from a live usb install created from slacko-6.3.2-uefi.iso. all seems to work well until it starts looking for puppy files and spits out the error in the title.
Please help me solve this. I was enjoying Puppy!
slacko_puppy_6.3.2.sfs not found
Welcome Mate!Nooo, that was not a trick question.
When you manage to get back, and if this is a frugal install, was it to an NTFS partition?
What is it you *think* you did? You know, what you don't tell us is most likely the problem.

I previously had done a full installation which allowed me to use Wi-Fi Firefox and other apps.
I decided to add a partition and add android marshmallow. At that point I also added trusted grub. When I tried to reboot I could only get to a menu offering me android options. I was unable to boot any of them and was unable to return to grub for DOS to get my puppy Linux running.
I decided to reboot the system from USB live stick and was planning on wiping the hard drive and reinstalling puppy Linux.
I downloaded slacko-6.3.2-uefi.iso and created a new boot drive using G parted and DD command from raspberry pi 3.
The booting process ends after loading drivers for reading drives when it can't find the puppy file : slacko_puppy_6.3.2.sfs

Maybe changing the media parameter pmedia=usbhd in the boot startup screen may be a solution ? , see --
