    puppy and**

    just wondering, since puppy installs in ram, unstead of on harddrive, does that mean you could not use that computer as a dual boot one? I mean won't puppy always be wanting to run on boot up, since it's not on a seperate partitian ? just curious.

    I believe it's the Puppy live CD that runs from RAM. Once installed to HD Puppy runs from that like any other distro.

    That's wright.
    I can just tell you that there is no Problem to have Puppy on a multiboot-computer.
    Even if it is very small it has GParted, and installer included and there are step to step manuals forums etc. so that I think it is one of the easiest distros to start with.

    thanks so much! now i get it. I usually won't even consider dual booting, I use ubunutu exclusivly on my main computer, but i still have vindows on my notebook, only because i have tons of video editing software and it and my i.s.p requires m.s for getting into the setups. stuff. puppy here i come.

    There is a Manual in English for the case you have some problems.
    But you can also ask me of course - I often have dualboot with puppy.
