Installing Puppy on VMware WorkStation — Part 1

Post by RyPuppy » Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:36 pm

This is how I Installed Puppy Linux on VMware Workstation Player within a Windows 11 environment. I used FossaPup64-9.5 distro for this install. It should work the same for most other Puppy’s. Installation using Oracle’s virtual environment VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org should be similar.

1) VMware WorkStation Player

Free version is available for non-commercial, personal and home use.

fossapup64-9.5.iso 2020-Sep-17 06:15:20 409.0M application/x-iso9660-image fossapup64-9.5.iso.md5.txt 2020-Sep-17 06:15:20 0.1K text/plain; charset=utf-8 fossapup64-9.5.iso.sha256.txt 2020-Sep-17 06:15:22 0.1K text/plain; charset=utf-8 manual.css 2020-Sep-17 09:50:20 1.3K text/css; charset=utf-8 puppylogo32.png 2020-Sep-21 15:52:29 3.4K image/png puppylogo96.png 2020-Jun-24 11:50:03 21.5K image/png release-fossapup64-9.5.htm 2020-Sep-17 11:13:07 87.2K text/html 

On Windows 11 desktop

Create the following folders
C:\VM
C:\VM\ISO
C:\VM\PuppyLinux

Copy downloaded ISO file fossapup64-9.5.iso into C:\VM\ISO.
Launch VMware workstation Player & create new Virtual Machine .

Choose values as provided below and click next at each step:
— Installer Disc Image File : C:\VM\PuppyLinux\ fossapup64-9.5.iso
— Guest Operating System : Ubuntu 64 bit
— Virtual Machine Name : Puppy Linux — FossaPup64-9.5.ISO
— Location: C:\VM\PuppyLinux\
— Maximum disk Size (GB) : 1 (less than 500 MB needed for minimal install)
— Store virtual disk as a single file: YES

Click on “Customize Hardware” & make changes if needed.

Click ‘Finish’ to complete.
The new Virtual machine should show up in the list.

I’m new in the Puppy Linux world! This is the first time that tries to install it. Thanks for your great step-by-step tutorial. I had a small issue with your tutorial which I will explain below:

The Problem :
I tried it many times on my VMWare Workstation Pro 16, but after the last Part#4 and when I restart the Linux, I encounter the following error message in dos mode, and nothing boots:

wee 0> find —set-root /grldr
wee 15> /grldr
wee 17>

Find the problem :
I searched the net and I saw this topic in the old forum of Puppy Linux:
PLinuxlinux frugal installation, problem booting [Solved]

I didn’t find my answer there so I dig more into this topic:
How to install Fossapup64 on HD? — Lenovo S-205 — (SOLVED)

In one of the replies, they mentioned:

Note:
If you use a GPT partition table. Only the UEFI boot loader can be installed.
A msdos partition table. Can install UEFI, legacy, or both types of boot loaders.

Issue:
And since you mentioned in Part#2 to set the partition type to gpt :

Create Partition Table
Click GParted —> Menu Device —> Create Partition Table
set Select new partition table type: gpt and click Apply

That’s it! You set the partition table to gpt which only works under UEFI boot, but then in Part#4, you asked to select the 3rd option in Install App, the «Install Puppy» tab, and the » Installer » option which only can support non UEFI. (That’s another reason why we get that «Grub4dosConfig — Error» window in the following steps)

Solutions :
1. [WORKING] Select msdos partition table type (solution for Non-UEFI) :
This is the simplest solution! If in Part#2 instead of selecting gpt type we choose msdos type, the rest of the tutorial works fine! even we will not see «Grub4dosConfig — Error» window in Part#4 anymore. So, after restarting, the Puppy Linux will boot up from VM HDD.

2. [ NotWORKING ] Select gpt partition table type (solution for UEFI support) :
Well! in Part#2, We will set gpt as the type of partition tables, and then in Part#4 we should select » Frugalpup — install/manage installs » item in Install App, the «Install Puppy» tab. Then I could copy files on VM HDD by selecting the » Puppy » button and copy boot files by selecting the » Boot » button.(I’m not sure if I do all of these correctly too! but it seems some files will copy into both partitions) But after restarting, It will not boot up from VM HDD! I didn’t find any good tutorial about it.

What do I have :
Host OS: Windows 10 Enterprise — x64 — 21H2 B.19044
Host Ram: 32GB
Host Processor: Intel i7 7700
fossapup64-9.5.iso
VMware Workstation Pro v16.2.4
My VM Configuration:

Thanks again for your great tutorial. If there is another tutorial than this one about how to use the » Frugalpup — install/manage installs » option, please give me a link because It didn’t works for me!

Teach others to learn more yourself!
