Thanks for coming back so quickly! After I asked my question, I went back and read it and thought it sounded stupid the way I worded it, but I left it there. I don't download anything --- no music, photos or anything. I'm a news hound and also like to research things on the net, using it like a libr...

I use Puppy 1.04, loading it into RAM and removing the disk so I can record things and save files, etc. Because of all the malware around, I almost always use Puppy when I access the internet. Here is my question: can someone still plant trojans, viruses, etc on my computer through Puppy, even thoug...

Thanks for the speedy and excellent reply. I was hoping to
make a live cd of this one too; I have two Linux distros on
my harddrive, but we'll see. The truth is I don't need any of
this, but Puppy is so much fun and so smart, I can't seem to
leave it alone.

Puppy 1.0.3. I downloaded this and burned the iso, but this puppy won't boot. Here is the on screen message: loading isolinuz Disk error 76, AX=427A, drive 9F (drive 9F is my dvd/cd-rw recorder) I compared this puppy's files with my (works great!) Puppy 0.9.0 and I see no difference except boot msg,...

this is version 0.9.8 according to Linux Format magazine. It just took a little fiddling to get the save-to-floppy right. The cd save, as I said, was quite squirrelly acting but it does work, it just lies to me sometimes. I have another question about Puppy. If I can get it to take me on the web (I ...

Got it! I played around this afternoon and saved to floppy and cd with no problem. It's just a bit different from the distros I've used --- they did it automatically. This proves that problems are the best teachers. One thing, though, when I mounted the cd using the utility as you said, it told me I...

Actually, I didn't download Puppy at all; I burned my cd from the ISO on a cd in Linux Format magazine. (I have dial up in a rural area and this makes it very chancey to download any large files because telephone service here is not always up to snuff.) I have not had time to try out your answer to ...

Please excuse a re-e-e-ally simple-minded question, but how can I save a document composed in AbiWord to a floppy disk? I am not very new to Linux (Xandros 1, 2 and 3, Mepis, Damn Small, etc) but after al- most an hour of fiddling around, darned if I can get it to save to a floppy. All I get is &quo...
