"INSTALL PUPPY TO USB-STICK" (for windows user)
1. Download syslinux from kernel.org
("http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/")
2. Download latest puppy linux iso
("http://puppylinux.org/main/index.php?file=Download%20Latest%20Release.htm)
3. You need a file archiver like 7-Zip ("http://www.7-zip.org/download.html")
4. Clean up your usb stick (backup your data)
5. Extract the puppy iso to your usb drive using e.g. 7-zip
(it's important that the original file names will be kept, sometimes the archivers mess up with the names e.g. PUP_434.SFS instead of pup-434.sfs)
6. Extract syslinux to your hard drive. Using the windows cmd, cd to your syslinux folder (e.g. C:/syslinux/win32/)
enter in cmd "syslinux.exe -m -a X:" (where X: is your usb-stick).
You have now a bootable usb stick.
7. On your usb-stick rename the file "isolinux.cfg" to "syslinux.cfg".
You can delete "isolinux.bin", you won't need it.
8. Edit "syslinux.cfg" in a text editor
at the line "append initrd=initrd.gz pmedia=cd"
change "pmedia=cd" to "pmedia=usbflash".
9. Have fun with your new puppy usb stick
