Puppy on usb flash drive.

[Mason7373]

hi, when i try to install puppy on my usb flash drive, i get this warning:

WARNING: NOT NORMALLY RECCOMMENDED
Do youwant to install puppy in superfloppy mode, that is, no MBR and no partitions?... in that case, the drive will be acessed as dev/sdb/,without a partition number. This may be a good choice for booting usb flash drive from a pc with a quirky bios. click ok if yes.

ok...i cant do anything BUT click on that puppy to do it...
and anyways...what does this mean for me??


Thanks--mason

I think you get that warning because you did not prepare the device in advance in a way Puppy installer could use it other than as a 'super floppy'

So, how did you prepare the USB device?

didn't really prepare it at all..dont know what you mean by prepare... I probably know what it is, just dont associate it with the word "prepare"...so...how would i prepare it for puppy?? --thanks-mason

The Universal Installer is somewhat confusing. You may prefer the method described here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=16437
