I have started this thread, as I'll link to it from the Universal Installer.
I invite posts, links, to this thread with the solutions.
That is, if Puppy is installed to hard drive NTFS partition, by what we call a
frugal install, also known as a "option 1" install, in which the files vmlinuz, pup_202.sfs and initrd.gz are copied to the NTFS partition.
Note, later we might be able to put more directly into the Universal Installer,
but for now just link to here.

Barry; In another post I suggested that a frugal or even a FULL HD install could be done on almost ANY file system.
Just make a large image file & install to it, 350MB is enough for a frugal & a 256MB save file.
To do a full HD install to an image file, Puppy2 is < 200MB uncompressed, so 512MB would do.
You said there are limits on how big an image file can be made, 700MB I think you said? (I'll test that out)
