Oh
hey that's pretty easy as long as it's a frugal install
meaning you make a pup_save and puppy boots to ram

I got ultimate too, it rocks huh?

OK,
say browserpuppy49.iso is on your desktop in ultimate 2.2

You can extract the iso by right-clicking/extract here,, and either cut/paste
the contents to new folder or usb

thru terminal as root

"sudo su"
"cd Desktop"
"mkdir pup49"
"mkdir mnt"
"mount -o loop browserpuppy49.iso mnt"
"cp -a mnt/* pup49"

In the above example I mounted the iso and copied it to the folder "pup49"

Now, as root, you gotta move or cut/paste the pup49 folder
into the root of the partition ultimate is on
meaning /

so, as root, call up nautilus
"sudo nautilus"
when nautilus pops up
cut/paste the pup49 folder into the root of partition
you know, where the boot, home, folders are etc
the very top level of the filesystem.

and edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst like this
Code:
title Browserpuppy49 Restore save
root (hdx,x)
kernel /pup49/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 pmedia=atahd psubdir=pup49 pfix=copy 
initrd /pup49/initrd.gz

title Browserpuppy49 No-Restore save
root (hdx,x)
kernel /pup49/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 pmedia=atahd psubdir=pup49 pfix=ram 
initrd /pup49/initrd.gz

title Browserpuppy49 Restore save/ No X
root (hdx,x)
kernel /pup49/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 pmedia=atahd psubdir=pup49 pfix=copy,nox 
initrd /pup49/initrd.gz

title Browserpuppy49 No-Restore save/ No X
root (hdx,x)
kernel /pup49/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 pmedia=atahd psubdir=pup49 pfix=ram,nox 
initrd /pup49/initrd.gz
you must edit "root (hdx.x)" for your partition

and make sure you put your "pup_save" in the same folder
/pup49
when saving

though I believe you can also just let it put it in the root of the partition
/

if any questions or I left something out
please post any questions

and yes, you can also install it on a different partition too
full hd install too

It automatically puts the pup_save file to pup's original folder (above /pup49).
