To be able to use Puppy either use a LiveDVD or perform an installation.

To run Puppy Linux via installation one has to:

• install Puppy Linux operating system

• install a boot loader

There are two principal types of Puppy Linux installation: frugal and full.

However, it is possible to run Puppy Linux without performing any installation by creating a Puppy Linux LiveCD/DVD.

Recommended course of action

• LiveCD/DVD Create a Puppy Linux LiveCD/DVD

• As you become more confident you may later decide to perform an installation. Start with a frugal installation. At a later date you may perform a full installation. You will need the Puppy Linux LiveCD/DVD created earlier so as to install a boot loader. Without a boot loader one does not have an operating system
