- an optical disc drive with writing capability (it will have the logos RW and/or ReWritable on the drive tray)
- a blank optical disc
- a container file of the desired Puppy Linux, e.g. Fluppy, Puppy 5 or Puppy 5 (multi-lingual keyboard support)
The container file must have the extension .iso. It is an exact copy, or image, of an existing file system. This image can then be written to an optical disc using a particular software program (see below). It is by booting up with this disc in the optical drive that one can run and use Puppy Linux.
