![]() You're probably making the same flawed assumption that every other Puppy newbie makes, especially if they're coming to Puppy from other, more traditional Linux distros which mandate a 'full' install on their OWN partition. (There's no need for it, so.it's history). I'm running approximately a dozen Puppies on this machine, all from a single partition - Puppies will run from individual sub-folders within the same partition, and happily co-exist together - because the UEFI/BIOS has been set to 'Legacy' mode, along with all the Windows-crap of FastBoot/SecureBoot being turned OFF. My main rig is a 3-yr old, UEFI-equipped HP Pavilion desktop PC. I'm sorta like curious as to where you got the idea from that a 'frugal' Puppy has to have a USB stick attached.?!? If such a thing can never be, does anyone know of any other distro that doesn't Force to jail the user in sudo madness, and lets us run free as dogs, that is, run as root!? So is puppy destined to die with the last remaining ancient computers? Or will someone save it? Or possibly they're already exist some pup somewhere that works and installs on today's computers? So in terminal I updated the grub, and now it does list the buster dog in the grub2 options! However clicking on it failed to run puppy, and just gave a bunch of errors. Luckily I could still boot into MX Linux, and its grub2, but it didn't list the puppy. ![]() Then I found buster dog, and quite liked its live set up, but the full install failed. I tried dpup with xfce, and it was nice live, but would refuse to install on a modern GPT partition. The fossa pup gave me PAM errors and googling could not resolve it. ![]() So I love it if there was a puppy that could install on modern computers. Plus the boot ups are a trifle slow due to bloat. MX works fine, but I hate that it won't allow me to run programs as root. But apparently puppy cannot be installed on any computer of the last 10 or 15 years? So I installed MX Linux instead, as a multi-boot along with Windows 10. First post! I've tried a few live puppies, and really like it do to the run as root philosophy.
