How to remove Puppy to make frugal install of Mint or Ubunt

[nooby]

A friend of mine here locally where I live also have problem with wireless connection in wpa and I remember that that is something many want help with.

Hope somebody knows more about how to get it going.

I think you should read what the expert on frugal isntall of Ubuntu wrote to me i nthe Ubuntu forum.

His user name is "ago".

He says:

Re: WUBI vs Frugal install? Differences etc?
A loopinstallation is like a frugal installation but customized for your hardware as opposed to be a "generic" install (which is optimized for "portability"). In fact a loopinstallation is exactly like a real installation. That of course also means that a loop installation is far faster than a frugal installation.

So the frugal installation has little advantages over a loop installation other than the fact that the installation itself is quicker
(since there is no linux side installation) and it takes less space (the squashfs is compressed).

By the way, wubi already supports frugal installation (not r/w although it can be changed by adding a persistent file)... Run wubi.exe from windows, then when you reboot press ESC and choose the last option... That is a frugal installation... If you want it permanent simply make it the default boot option in ubuntu\install\boot\grub\menu.lst. Note the demo mode option is deleted after a linux side loop installation.

Him and tuxcantfly are the experts on using ubuntu in frugal or looped install.

Unfortunately tuxcantfly seems to have been busy with other things so ago is the one to consult on running frugally using ubuntu
