The new version of Puppy Linux, Puppy 2, is quite sensational!

Download it from the site. 71MB ISO, to your HDD. Burn the iso to a blank cdrw. Put it in the CDRW (You can do things even better if you have a DVD writer too ). Make sure your CDRW is set to bootable in the BIOS.

Boot with the CD. You will be in the Puppy Linux desktop pretty quick. You will be asked for the type of keyboard (azerty) mouse and if you have a wheel mouse just before that.

Once in the desktop right click on the desktop, go to the multimedia section and click on Graveman. Click on “Other Operations ” and choose erase CDRW and erase the CDRW.

Click on the drives icon on the top of the desktop and mount the partition on which the iso was downloaded, and click mount. You will see the directories/Folders on that drive.

Right click on the desktop, go to Multimedia, choose Burniso2cd.

Choose CD (not DVD), choose the mounted drive, choose the iso file (/mnt/downloads/puppyxxxx.iso for example) click OK.

Click on Multi-CD and OK.

The ISO will be written to the CDRW. Takes some time. Once done, restart PC. It will bootup with the multisession version of the Puppy2!

Choose azertry keyboard, mouse. scroll mouse etc as you bootup and choose xvesa for now or start XORG and hope for some luck :-)

Let us assume you loaded with xvesa. In the desktiop, choose the video resolution and click OK.

To setup internet connection click setup icon on the desktop. If you have an ethernet connection, choose cable ethernet, Load driver – auto probe. Success! OK!. Click Save button. In Interfaces click eth0 and choose Auto DHCP.

Network Configuration of eth0 successful!! will be displayed. Save the configuration? Yes.

Click the Browse button and go to Google to see if things work.

To get your bookmarks from the HDD, on the browser menu, Tools – Import and find the Bookmarks. html file on the Hard disk and you will have your bookmarks available to you!

Grab some folders and iles from the HDD that you will like to have with you and paste them on your CDRW home folder. Include a mp3 or ogg vorbis music file to test sound.

When you log out all the changes will be saved to the CDRW itself!

The safest way to go on the internet!
