The Lighthouse 64 Puppy Linux website seems to be down. I first noticed this around perhaps June 22nd:
I was hoping the website would soon return, but it hasn't so far. And now, that page redirects to a domain name seller's website.
In the box at the right side of the page that says "DOWNLOAD OPTIONS", click the "SHOW ALL" link near the bottom to show a list of all available files. The file to download is 257.0 M and is named:
(There's also the larger Mariner edition ISO, but I never tried that, nor probably most of the other files available there.)

But, when it is finished, it will be possible to use it to set up Lighthouse 64 Puppy Linux 6.02 Beta 2.
But, fortunately, I can use my modified version of VUE: Visual Understanding Environment to create some documentation, maybe or maybe not similar to this, which will probably help me get (and share) a better idea of what the heck I was doing and what I should do next.

I still haven't finished renovating my (Apollia's) Puppy Linux Setup Kit (APSK).
I have no plans to even trying to switch to a newer Puppy Linux (or any other GNU/Linux) until I make more progress with APSK, which I will probably gradually release here:

Some of the best currently-existing documentation of important new features in the renovated version of APSK is in this repo:
