Pretty much.

I tend to do it all manually myself now. I use grub4dos bootloader so that's a menu.lst file in the root partition that I edit to point to each installation, so you get the choice at bootup. Looks something like :

# menu.lst
color white/blue black/cyan white/black cyan/black
timeout 4
default 0

title Lucid 525 No Save
find --set-root /LUCID/vmlinuz
kernel /LUCID/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 pfix=ram
initrd /LUCID/initrd.gz

The 'default' value numbers from zero for the first in the list, so you can have multiples of those types of entries and pick which one starts by default. The timeout value is how many seconds before that default is automatically run (unless you use the up or down keys to select another at bootup).

Just copy the puppy files into a directory/folder, and change the menu.lst pointers to point to the respective files/folder.

My actual menu.lst currently looks like the following, so I can boot the same puppy in different ways, or different puppy's, where it defaults to the second one in the set after a 4 second delay.

# menu.lst
color white/blue black/cyan white/black cyan/black
#splashimage=/tempest.xpm
timeout 4
default 1

Each puppy can have different boot parameters, and method of saving (or not). Usually I look at what boot definition came with the individual puppy and just more or less copy that into my own menu.lst, but with the necessary changes to point it to the right directory.

[Sailor Enceladus]

Yes BurtonBenson. You can put Puppy in a folder on a drive that has a different OS already and point to it with grub/grub4dos.

[dancytron]

Yes.

To store it in a folder, you must be on a Linux file system (ext2, ext3 or ext4).

It will work on a Windows file system too, but you have to store your changes in a squashfs file instead.

The first time you exit Puppy, it will walk you through setting up the folder or squashfs file.

A few sample menu.1st entries for you.

Normal Frugal Install to hard drive (will instantly write changes to save folder/file)

Code: Select all

Title Puppy Linux Tahr64 6.05 in sda3 dir tahr64
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /tahr64/vmlinuz  psubdir=tahr64
initrd /tahr64/initrd.gz

Tell it to treat like it is a usb drive install (will store changes in ram and will periodically or on demand write changes to save folder/file depending on how you set it)

Code: Select all

Title Puppy Linux Tahr64 6.05 in sda3 dir tahr64
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /tahr64/vmlinuz pmedia=ataflash psubdir=tahr64
initrd /tahr64/initrd.gz

Ignore save file and/or folder and just boot with out of the box system (this is how you would create a new save folder/file)

Code: Select all

Title Puppy Linux Tahr64 6.05 in sda3 dir tahr64
rootnoverify (hd0,2)
kernel /tahr64/vmlinuz pfix=ram psubdir=tahr64
initrd /tahr64/initrd.gz

Yes I think this is what BurtonBenson is asking (frugal install). I have one of my puppies on FAT32 and another on EXT4.
