What is your preferite linux distribution?

Q. I know only Puppy Linux.
It doesn't need any driver for my graphic, sound and network card, whereas xp needs all the drivers.
However Puppy Linux isn't as advanced as xp!..

What linux based operating system do you prefer?

A. I have only tried Ubuntu, but have used openSUSE running KDE in the university library. I'd have to say Ubuntu is a good choice for beginners. openSUSE is not that bad. It's got a lot of eyecandies.

I have downloaded five other distributions to try next month when I've got my laptop (openSUSE, Mandriva, Fedora, Debian and Linux Mint). I'll tell you my Linux stories later. :)

How Can i install Linux OS in my Flash drive?
Q. Please tell me the method and source to download and install puppy Linux in my flash drive.

A. I don't think you can Install it on the flash drive. However you should be able to copy the files to the flash drive as long as the drive is big enough to contain them. As well, you can not boot from a Flash drive so you are better of using an external drive for this and boot from there. Hope this helps

How do i create a Wakepup Floppy Under Linux?
Q. im switching between my xubuntu live cd to a Puppy Linux running from a USB FD, i downloaded Wakepup which allows your old pc to boot from your USB device but its a windows Installer, its design for windows and i dont have access to it right now. So how can i create the Boot up floppy under Linux?

A. I think you will find the information you need at:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=3875

Note at the top of the thread, there is a link for the WakePup disk image for version 2.0. The link for Version 1.0 {WKPUP11C.ZIP } is lower on the page.

The directions are for Puppy1 {wakePup 1.1c} so you will have to translate them as needed if YOUR's is Puppy2.

In a nutshell, once you have the proper image it needs to be uncompressed and written {as root} to the floppy using 'dd' in Linux. For example, assuming Puppy1:

# unzip WKPUP11C.ZIP
# dd if=WKPUP11C.IMG of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

BTW, WakePup is a Puppy boot disk using FreeDOS, with support for USB mass storage drives (CD-ROM, hard disk and flash), legacy parallel port drives (Backpack CD-ROM and Iomega ZIP) and legacy PCMCIA drives (Addonics or similar CD-ROM).

You may also find this link helpful if you want to create a boot CD version:
