To be able to use Puppy either create a LiveDVD LiveCD/LiveDVD or perform an installation.
To run Puppy Linux via installation one has to:
- install Puppy Linux operating system
- install a boot loader
There are two principal types of Puppy Linux installation: frugal and full.
It is also possible to run Puppy Linux without performing any installation by creating a Puppy Linux LiveCD/DVD.
Many users prefer this or the multi-session option
Recommended course of action
- As you become more confident you may later decide to perform an installation. Start with a frugal installation. At a later date you may perform a full installation. You will need the Puppy Linux LiveCD/DVD created earlier so as to install a boot loader. Without a boot loader one does not have an operating system
