Installing Linux to a 4gb usb microdrive

[Brian Kelsay]

You should be using Kubuntu 7.10 for one thing over 7.04.   I had problems
with 7.04 and the one before.  The last good one for me was 6.06.1 LTS.

Boot from a LiveCD of Puppy, from "Setup" menu you will find an entry called
"Puppy Universal Installer". Select that, and follow the simple
instructions.
or
Boot from a LiveCD of Puppy, use ISOMaster and extract the 3 files:
initrd.gz, vmlinuz and pup_xxx.sfs.  Copy those to your USB drive manually.
You will probably have to mount the drive first.  (

They recommend this method only for an upgrade of an existing USB Puppy
system.
