You can boot from a Puppy Linux ISO by giving the file a .isopup file extension.
In this way you can boot directly from the ISO to a 'LiveCD' version of Puppy and get to the Desktop.
But if you try to install Puppy to a hard disk, you will get an error because it cannot find the CDROM.
First, if you have a CD drive, ensure it is empty.
To fix this, use these commands in a terminal shell session before you start the Install process:
mkdir /cdrom
mount /dev/sdX4 /cdrom
where X is the letter for your E2B USB drive (in my case it was 'a' because I was using VBOX+VMUB).
The first command will probably fail if you have a CD-ROM drive fitted (make sure it's empty), but you can ignore the error. The second command should cause the USB partition to be mounted as a read-only device.
This mounts the ISO as the cdrom so it can be found by the installer. Do not create a Save file and do not copy the .sfs file from CDROM when requested on shutdown.

Once you have booted from the hard disk, you can create a save file on shutdown.
