I could not resist, since I have been looking for such a "dual use" for a while.This ALL In One version of Pendrivelinux 2008 can be run from a USB thumbdrive either natively (as a stand alone Operating System at boot), or within Windows using qemu emulation. Moreover, the user can save installed software, changes, bookmarks, email, contacts and more automatically via a persistent loop image and then restore those changes upon subsequent qemu or native boots. This is a major breakthrough as the user can now run Pendrivelinux 2008 from a USB device even if the computer cannot natively boot from USB and still save changes persistently to be restored regardless of whether booting natively or from qemu.
Kudo's goes out to Gerardo Nevarez for the preparation of initrd.gz to make both Native and Qemu Pendrivelinux 2008 boot processes possible while running persistently.

It would be helpful when travelling and using PCs at internet cafes, public libraries or friends' places, where you would prefer to boot for speed but may not be able to do so. Nevertheless you would have access to everything without having to transfer files to a virtual disk for QEMU first.
So I downloaded, installed and so far it looks good ... but it's not Puppy !
Has anybody already taken a look at how to build something similar for Puppy ?
My knowledge of computers is too limited to quickly understand how it was done and I would not want to be the hundredth person to bother Gerardo about how to do it for a different linux if somebody else already has.
