Just so long as Puppy can find a suitable partition on the Hard Drive to store it's data on it will work fine.

Actually you will need to create a swap partition or swap file for it to work OK.

You need to give more info about the computer, details, processor speed...

_I_ think it's safe to say Puppy could be installed on that system.

However; depending on what you want to do, it may not feel workable.

Do you want/need to get online with it? If so, with dial-up, wi-fi, or ethernet?

Do you want sound? Linux, may not have drivers for the laptop's sound system.

I'm assumeing that Puppy will have no problem creating a swap file and the pupxxx file in the root directory of the windows C: partition.

i will give it a try. iv tried other distro on it but none would work..probably the memory cant handle. i think th eprocessor is 120 something mhz..not sure..and memry is less than 32MB

anways, i will download puppy an dtry it out..puppy sounds promising..and a must try..

If Puppy doesn't work then try Damn Small Linux or Feather Linux.

I have run both of them on a P100 with 32MB RAM laptop.
