Which installer for me to use?
 

New to Linux. Do not understand the terms.
There are 2 installers: Universal Installer & Bootflash drive - destructive method.
I have 2 USB flash sticks inserted to the PC. They are identical. One is a BionicPup32 bootable, the other one is empty onto which I intend to install the OS, and run the OS after installation.
Please advise which one of the 2 installer I ought to choose.
Thank you.

Jofto,

This link shows how to install Puppy Linux to a USB drive:

Thank you.
Have just glanced through the content of the link. Very good. Will study it before making the installation.
Appreciate.

Jofto,

Those main instructions are for modern UEFI (GPT) systems with EFI boot.

Obviously your old 32-bit system uses Legacy BIOS (MBR) booting.

Extract:

Q. I am using a Non-EFI system. Is it still possible to install Puppy Linux on my machine?

A. Yes! You can install Puppy Linux even on older machines that use the Legacy BIOS (MBR) system. To do this, you only need to create a single root partition while preparing your disk.

Further, you also need to run the GRUB4DOS program instead of using FrugalPup to generate the boot partition. You can access this utility by pressing right-click on the live desktop and selecting “Setup -> grub4dos.”
