How do i download from ubuntu?
I want to put puppy linux on a usb drive and install it on a old CPU, but i couldn't figure out how to do it.
Could someone give explicit directions please? Really explicit, simple thing like what browser do i use? Exactly what to click on, screen shots if possible.
Im new to this, and am confused very easily.
Details: Im running Ubuntu 12.10, they computer i want to install puppy on is a windows XP.
Thank you very much!

Welcome to Pup Tahdas. Have you seen any of the posts over on Pendrivelinux?
You don't want MacPup. As a beginner, stick with the mainstream builds. As for ram- you have more than enough.
For Slacko:

For loading it onto a flash drive, you want one of these:

For Precise there's a regular build and a retro:Choices
Slacko 5.4 is available with a choice of kernels, 3.2.33 compiled for processors that do not support PAE and 3.4.17 for processors that do. The 4g (non PAE) version comes with a choice of Opera browser or Firefox, a major departure from Puppy's offering of Seamonkey only. Of course all major browsers are available from the Puppy Package Manager.

Thanks i got it installed, i remembered i had cd image burner thingy on my window half of my ubuntu computer.
I like the setup, it runs a whole lot faster than XP on my old machine, but i'll half to do some leg pulling to get my ASUS USB-N13 internet thingy to work on it.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Later for leg pull'n. That's a relatively new device and the reason I suggested you pass on MacPup.

I'm sensing it's a recent kernel you're gonna need..
