Squashfs

A SquashFS(SFS) is a compressed read-only file that contains files and a directory structure. If Puppy is Frugally installed an SFS forms the base of the Puppy installation. Extra SFS files can be loaded as additional layers. In full installs an SFS can be decompressed and copied to the installation. The file extension is .sfs. Often large or multiple programs are packaged in this format.

Loading SFS software packages with a Frugal installation
1. The SFS package should be located at /mnt/home.


2. Then use one of the following methods to load the SFS:
