So i just got Puppy up and running on my macbook 3,1 by partioning the drive, using refit, and unetbootin. as i said in the title i dont have a working CD drive on the macbook, and it wont boot from a thumb drive, so what i did was use unetbootin to install the puppy iso to /dev/disk3 (my puppy partition) rebooted and then selected the puppy partition at the refit screen. to my knowledge this is running puppy like a usb thumb drive would.
so my question
if i cant boot from a thumb drive, and i dont have a working cd drive, is there anyway i can do a full install of puppy so i can use the space on the hard drive instead of making a personal save file?
sorry if this is a bit garbled,
-thanks! (and good to be here)

Well I do appreciate the suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work, so what I did was do a frugal install on one partition and use the other as my storage.
good enough for now
this is my first foray into linux and i honestly cannot believe how much faster puppy is compared to Windows or OS 10
lots to learn about it still but looking forward to it
