When you install the operating system, you will probably need to make several partitions, one of which will be a SWAP file. HW> 2. Does the partition(s) need to be fat32? No... in fact, it cannot be FAT32, it will be a Linux SWAP partition (unless Puppy Linux is RADICALLY different for other Linux distros). I have no experience with Puppy Linux, but most (if not all) modern Linux distros have good on-line documentation on how to install and run their operating systems. Puppy Linux Documentation is at: http://puppylinux.org/docs/ You might want to consider reading the installation section, it is usually a good place to get started. -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
