********************************Draft220227 Installing to a Bootable USB Drive*************************
If you created a bootable CD or USB using the recommended programs you may now want to create a bootable fat32 USB that can also store a Save File on the USB.

NOTE: if you created your USB using Rufus you already have this.

This topic assumes you are using one of the recommended distros or remasters.

-Boot Puppy from your CD or USB drive
-insert the target USB
Menu>Setup>StickPup
-click the this radio button

If you are interested in creating a bootable USB that can contain a Save Folder, see this advanced topic

If you are using a Puppy version that does not included StickPup, you can download and install the Frugalpup Installer package which includes it.

OK info if the Puppy version has StickPup program.

Not all version of Puppy have it.

StickPup is one of the programs provided by Frugalpup Installer package.

Hi Big,
This will be the same issue with almost all these "howto" topics.

OK info if the Puppy version has StickPup program.

Not all version of Puppy have it.

This note at the top of the instructions:

This topic assumes you are using one of the recommended distros or remasters

Because we have so many Puppy iterations we have to do a lot of qualifying in instructions, then tell the user to ask in the forum for exceptions.

We could include a note and link to add Stickpup, but still may not be foolproof.

Thanks
