====Puppy 5 Frugal Install to Harddrive====

Puppy Linux, unlike most operating systems, can live contained on a few files, and can live on a windows or a different linux's partition.

To install to a windows partition, see [[http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy52LuciDualBoot these instructions]].

----

To install to a empty partition, use the Universal Installer, in Menu -> Setup -> Universal Installer.

----

To install to a linux partition, add Puppy Linux to menu.lst.
