[Howto] Make a Puppy USB pendrive from Windows
Posted: Mon 02 Nov 2009, 16:51
Hi
This is how I made my pen bootable and run Puppy from it.
USB pendrive is F: on my machine. Make the necessary changes if it's other letter on your system.
From Windows to Puppy:
- download ISO
- extract initrd.gz, vmlinuz and pup_xxx.sfs (starting from 4.3, zp_xxx.sfs also needed)
- download syslinux.zip and unzip to pendrive
- open a console by pressing win+R, type cmd and press ENTER
- type f: and ENTER
- type syslinux F: and ENTER
- type exit and ENTER
- reboot
Assuming your machine boot from USB and it's the first boot device. You can also press F12 during BIOS check (should work on most systems)
