one must read the hundreds of pages on puppy linux. first off you only want to do a frugal instal. a full install is very lacking . Puppy was designed to run in /dev/ram0 and keep a save file. ok. so here let me tell you how to do this simple stuff.
I use grub to boot my frugal puppy.
Down load the iso image. right click extract it to a partition. I keep my puppy Linux folders in
puppy4 is my folder on /dev/sdc2
I go to my /boot/grub/grub.cfg/
I add this at the bottom of my grub
above
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
I hate grub it is stupid but learn it.
Do not ever think grub will work from the /etc/grub files it will break stuff.
sure that is an argument
so stop letting some dev thousands of miles away care less about you update your grub.cfg like all the spoon fed distros do.
add this.
this is simple this number here = your drive 750d73e1-fbfa-4924-b359-fada4189c8c9
how do you get it
Code:
command blkid

been playing with bionic off and on.
Add the entry with your blkid reboot and select puppy linux my folder is in dev 750d73e1-fbfa-4924-b359-fada4189c8c9 / name of it is pupp4/vmlinuz
stop trying to do a full install it will only slow down. and not worth your time. frugal is the best. and puppy actually will give you the grub config.
Better to just do as I did. I have over 20 puppy's I boot.
for puppy slacko the best.
Code:
menuentry 'Puppy sdc2 (SLACKO 7.0)' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'osprober-gnulinux-simple-e06b640b-0594-4056-ba7a-7098bbca4e45' {
