Note: These instructions also apply to installing FD600 on a hard drive partition.mini-jaguar wrote:Also, is there an easy way to make a bootable USB stick with FatDog64 600 on it?
1. Boot off the Live CD.
2. Plug in the flash drive.
3. From the Control Panel > Utilities, run the Fatdog64 Installer. Skip Step 2. At Step 3, install from the CD/DVD.
4. Run Control Panel > Utilities > Grub4Dos Bootloader Config. This will make the stick bootable. Make sure that you select the stick as the target device and NOT your main hard drive.
5. If you look at the new menu.lst file, you will see that Grub4Dos still uses the old Puppy boot codes that don't apply to FD. But that's OK for now.
6. Start to reboot. FD will create a savefile. Make sure that you select the flash drive as the destination.
7. Boot off the flash drive. Even though the boot codes are wrong, FD should still find your save file.
8. You will probably want to clean up the old boot codes. Or if you have put your savefile in a subfolder, you will definitely need to fix the codes.
a. Run Control Panel > Utilities > Savefile Argument Builder. (It's hiding on the bottom row.)
b. Follow the instructions to update your menu.lst.
9. While you have your menu.lst open, make a duplicate of your Fatdog entry. You can use it to resize or clean up your savefile.
a. Change the "title" line to "Fatdog600 Safe Mode".
b. Change the savefile argument to "savefile=none".
