![]() We're just as guilty that 450 MB Fossapup download, when actually 'installed' to the virtual RAM-disk is in fact occupying at least two & a half times that. Every OS developer ever to build an OS tends to quote the ISO download size. ![]() Fossapup is around 450 MB, though at that, it's still tiny compared to most distros.Īny OS download is always going to be in the compressed state. That 300 MB, I think, probably refers to one of the older Puppies even Bionicpup64, the previous long-term supported Pup, was at least 350 MB. Just because it states 300 MB or less, you think that's all the space it's going to take? Think about it a Windows install will fit onto a standard DVD, thus anywhere up to around 4.5 GB.but when it installs for real, that swells to well over 20 GB. You're STILL thinking in terms of a normal, "full" Linux install. I am not asking what those other flavors are but is that Hobbs :. If I install Linux as files inside a folder along other files of another operating system then since I am not limited to 450 MB for that, I want to know what other flavors of Linux I might be able to use. If 450 MB is too small for a Puppy Linux then I need something else that can fit in the partition I asked about in the original question. The Puppy Linux Home page says 300 MB or less.

One problem is that I redid the installation so now I have five choices in the Lick boot menu one for Windows and two for each of the installs. I have used Lick to create a thumb drive with a Puppy in it. ![]() The design of the files in a frugal install, makes it possible, that when booted, everything is loaded into RAM.Īlso, some features of Puppy only work in a live or frugal install. ![]() To store any changes, settings ,added programs a save file/folder is made the first time you shutdown. Stop thinking installing Puppy the way other Linux OS's install.Ī live install (for installs to a CD/DVD or USB flash drive).Ī frugal install to internal computer drives, USB drives, SSD drives, SD cards, really anything that is not a CD/DVD.įrugal is just the name, it is still the complete Puppy Linux OS installed in a special way.Ī frugal install is all the files in the Puppy Linux ISO placed inside a folder. Lick runs in Windows and installs Puppy Linux, so when the computer boots, a menu comes up, where you choose which one to boot. In Windows, left click on the Lick exe file to run the program.
