How to Create a Full Installation on an Internal Hard Disk Drive (H.D.D.)
- Ensure that the target installation partition has >=350MB free space available
- Create a LiveDVD or InstallationFrugal LiveUSB
- Start the target computer with the LiveDVD/USB: if the computer does not start/boot from the LiveDVD it will be necessary to either access a boot menu or the B.I.O.S. so that the computer is instructed to boot with the optical drive or U.S.B. flash memory drive and not any other type of drive; restarting will be necessary in conjunction with using the correct key(s) (see Appendix below);
- Configure the keyboard, locale & timezone settings {one is offered to do this either during start-up or immediately after}
- Prepare the H.D.D. (optional) using Menu > System > GParted; after any modifications re-start the computer without saving any changes and with the LiveDVD/USB connected
- Install to H.D.D. using Menu > System > Puppy Universal Installer
- Remove the LiveDVD/USB and re-start the computer without saving
