The Puppy installation on the USB would be the same as a Puppy installation on your internal HDD; only difference is the media you install it to. Another, easier option, is to use something like to create a live USB. If using Windows, click on the download link to download it. If using Linux, open a terminal and type 'unetbootin.'
If it is already installed it will open; if it is not already installed, follow the instructions that will be provided in the terminal to download and install it.

It's very single-minded; it does one thing, and one thing only.it burns an ISO file to a CD/CVD. And you must burn at the slowest speed possible, too; no more than 2x or 4x, tops. It doesn't seem to suffer from the usual Windows failing of the wrong case. Just d/load it, unzip it anywhere you like, and run the.exe file inside.
That's all there is to it.and I guarantee it will work. For USBs, either UNetbootin or Rufus will do the job. Edited by Mike_Walsh, 03 March 2017 - 07:25 PM. Distros:- Multiple 'Puppies'.

Yes you can save changes to the Live USB.
