Hello Harold, Puppy is I think, one of the simpler packages to install. You only need one partition for it. I would use ext2 file system. You can create a swap partition, you would then have to tell Puppy to mount and use it. I believe that is in the fstab file.
You dont have to worry about file permissions, etc in Puppy, because Root is the only user, and you are automatically logged it. What i have learned so far, was from trashing Ubuntu Linux. Over and over, and over again. <g> I real good at reinstalling, mediocre at fixing, but that is how I have learned. -- Best regards, Roger Thursday, June 15, 2006, 10:11:07 AM, you wrote: HW> I fear that I seem obtuse but here goes.
