There seems to be confusion about whether to frugal or full install Puppy Linux. So I wondered which people are using and what the disadvantages and advantages of each are?
I've made a wiki page on the topic - please add to the comparison table and correct any errors.

My FRUGAL is using the Lin'N'Win method.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

darkcity, I have also the impression that in Puppyland people are re-inventing the wheel.
There is a puppy install instruction.
It contains also explanation of FRUGAL/FULL
Just to make you aware of this.

I use a DVD-RW (faster and more reliable than CD-RW)Sylvander wrote:I boot a "live" CD-RW

HD I use for data storage and config/save file only
This means my two HD's can each have separate booting OS without partitioning
I think I have Pinguy and Ubuntu on them but hardly ever use
