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

_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.

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.
