Installing Puppy Linux (Full HDD Install)-Part III

Part 3. Install Time.

Now we will use the Universal Installer to make a FULL install to hda1,
followed by installing GRUB to the MBR

So again RIGHT click the desktop and go to Setup > Puppy universal installer

Select Internal (IDE or SATA) hard drive

Then click OK

Next choose which drive to install to (in this case it is hda)

Then click OK

Next select the partition to install to (in this case it is hda1)
Image-22
 

Confirm your choice, by clicking on OK

Now tell it where the files are, in this case click on CD

Click OK again
Image-25
 

Next we will choose FULL

Now wait, while it copies files to the hard drive

Now we will install GRUB

Select INSTALL

Click OK
Image-31
 

Choose simple and click OK
Image-32
 

Select standard and click OK
Image-33
 

Accept the default entry (in this case /dev/hda1) and click OK
Image-34
 

Scroll down the list, and select MBR and click OK
Image-35
 

Hopefully you will get confirmation that GRUB was successfully installed

Click OK

We are now finished with the Universal Installer, so click on NO

Now REBOOT (REMOVE the CD from the drive first)
Image-38
 

Answer NO when asked if you want to save

When it reboots, you should see the GRUB boot screen,
(in this case Linux (on /dev/hda1)) is already selected so just hit ENTER/RETURN

You will need to make your choice of Keyboard Layout, and Xorg or Xvesa once again.

When you get to the desktop, that is it done.

Next time you reboot, after selecting the partition to boot via GRUB you should go straight to the desktop.

I hope this will help clarify the procedure, for those new to linux.
