I think I just successfully downloaded the iso for Puppy and I also think I have successfully burnt a copy. No guarantees on either score, I am still in the early stages of understanding much about Linux.I don't know much about this puppy suffice to say I have not heard of it but if it's anything like the other major distro's then it should be possible to dual boot it with windose.
Can anyone tell me if Puppy can be installed to dual boot with the dreaded XP? If so, how might it be done?
It would be appreciated if advice can be expressed in as non technical language as possible.
John.
Possibly the easiest way for you to do this is to partition your drive first, having decided on partition sizes for each OS.
Then install windows onto one of the partitions, then install the puppy onto the other.
You may wish to post this question to the puppy forum for a more definite answer. Otherwise I say just try it. What's the worst that can happen ? Lose windose? meh.
