Thanks! This way of installation will be slower as it will run from disk instead of ram? but all files and installed programs will persist? I wanted to see it booting.
The various Puppy distros load the entire OS into RAM and therefore run faster than OSs that are installed on a storage device (SSD or HDD). Persistence is enabled so work is saved to the USB drive
I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but I tried running FossaPup on a netbook style laptop and it actually lagged /more/ than other distros. I don't know if it was just the lightweight browser that comes with it instead of firefox, but it was very slow loading pages and thumbnails. Linux Mint and AntiX ran much snappier, though AntiX has at least one problem with not auto-selecting the audio hardware.
Thankyou very much for the absolute best tutorial i have seen on UA-cam about frugal installing Puppy Linux. I used your method to install Debian Puppy Bookworm 64 on a Lexar 32 GB memory key this morning. A fat32 partition was also added to save Windows compatible files to the USB memory stick. One could format this to NTFS if so desired. My next project is to install Puppy Bookworm to the 64 GB EMMC drive (and 4 GB RAM), five year old Asus non-upgradable 14" laptop. Perhaps i will try dual booting it instead 😃
Excellent video!! My favorite distro i have been using for years.

Great video! I got started on linux using Puppy Linux and DSL in 2007, it's a great way to get your feet wet Now, I'm not coming back to windows!
05:13 i think you forgot to mention about saving it
why ext3 instead of ext4?
Both ext3 and ext4 are applicable in Linux
@@MohamedBadawiEgypt ext3 has long been superseded there is no valid reason to use it
does it work the same if i want to install ubuntu on a flash drive?

Perhaps try Puppy Bionic Beaver ... i have had good luck with it on old HP netbooks etc.
How about how to install Ubuntu or Linux Mint on a USB drive?
those are not light wight they are like 1.2 gb of iso u can check there web it requires like 20gb of storage
so yeah idk if u should do that
Yeah, at last some Slackware, without hurting your head too much.
Does this have persistent
:( when attempting to boot for the first time on usb it just shows a "GRUB4DOS" screen
im not tech savy at all in linux but downloading another version from the website helped me get rid of the GRUB4DOS screen. hope it helps
@@fifomicas ill check soon. gotta schedule the linux stress lol
