G'day
@GC2019 and welcome to linux.org
Everytime I try to boot on puppy it goes to ubuntu, I have to stick the usb and start all over, what I/m doing wrong?
Probably nothing
Puppy is intended mostly for use from a USB stick, although you
can do a full install to HDD. Puppy maintains the appearance of being an installed OS by creating and maintaining a Save file, which saves data and settings. This could be on your stick, or else on your Hard Drive, depending on how you set it up.
Which Puppy are you using?
I do not have the skills to advise in depth, on Puppy, but we have a few Members who use it, just do not remember whom
We
do have a Member, Darren
@darry1966 , who has his own spin on Puppy called AnitaOS, which you can read about here
https://www.linux.org/threads/anitaos-a-diy-distro-you-build-it-yourself.8860/ - by mentioning him, I have "pinged" him, so if he is available he may swing by.
The definitive Forum for the Pups is at
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/ - it is run by John Murga, and the site has been around since almost when Australia's Barry Kauler
invented Puppy, ie about 15 years. You would certainly get answers there, I would just ask that if you get them, maybe you can bring back details here, so we can expand our Knowledge Base, our "Wiki" so to speak.
One thing you
could try is as follows:
With your Puppy stick in place, and from Ubuntu's Terminal, run the following command:
... and see if it detects the Puppy stick as an OS. If it does, then you can reboot the computer, and there will likely be an entry on the Grub Menu for Puppy, but after the Ubuntu entry. You would then just have to be sure the stick is in place and choose Puppy any time from Boot.
But perhaps try the other avenues first and see how you fare.
Good luck and let us know
