Thank you. </p> <p>P.S. Is it possible to boot a frugal install from 2g/4g thumb drives? If so, is there a how to? My problem is the BGA chip failed or has bad connection on the laptop, and no legacy drives work, but usb drives are fine. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/how-macpup-can-work-in-2gb-and-4gb-usb-thumb-drive#post-1048 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 22:47:10 +0000 Prit 1048@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>If you run Macpup as a frugal install, you can always keep a backup of your pup_save file to restore incase of such incidents. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/how-macpup-can-work-in-2gb-and-4gb-usb-thumb-drive#post-1046 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 20:15:02 +0000 bluesplash 1046@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>Puppy installer worked great for me, until X got corrupted and I cannot fix it cuz when I mount the usb, the xorg folder of the usb becomes write protected and won't let me copy the the working cd version to the usb drive to fix it. Oh well I guess a fresh install every time this happens is the price we have to pay for the macpup goodness. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/how-macpup-can-work-in-2gb-and-4gb-usb-thumb-drive#post-1016 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:09:13 +0000 runtt21 1016@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>Not meaning to diss you or anything but the puppy installer is my preferred method of installation. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/how-macpup-can-work-in-2gb-and-4gb-usb-thumb-drive#post-1015 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:15:35 +0000 runtt21 1015@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>I would recommend staying away from Unetbootin , I have heard nothing but bad things about it. </p> http://hardkap.net/forums/topic/how-macpup-can-work-in-2gb-and-4gb-usb-thumb-drive#post-1008 Sun, 07 Jun 2009 20:14:50 +0000 barryspy 1008@http://hardkap.net/forums/ <p>To share info with all Macpup fellows.<br /> Just discovered that Macpup can boot up<br /> successfully on 2Gb and 4Gb thumb drive.<br /> Do not need to create partition for<br /> 2Gb and 4Gb thumb drive.<br /> Obtain free pup2usb : <a href="http://puppy.cnbits.com/software/pup2usb" rel="nofollow">http://puppy.cnbits.com/software/pup2usb</a><br /> For 8Gb and 16Gb usb thumb drive, still need to partiton<br /> with 4Gb capacity to boot.<br /> Conclusion : pup2usb can even work for FAT32 partition,<br /> as compared to orginal puppylinux distro, limit<br /> to 1Gb FAT16.<br /> Not successful using Unetbootin (2Gb,4Gb,8Gb, 16Gb thumbdrive)<br /> Barry </p>
