Thanks gentlemen. Next time I'm in the mood to start playing with OS's I'll be giving Puppy a go for sure.

Ok, but to someone who doesn't yet know anything about Puppy it might be an idea to add a sentence to the effect of what you just said. It's clear if you already understand Puppy, but if you don't, it ain't. I'm not bitchin' just take it as feedback. The test of a doc is not that the expert thinks ...

I was pointed to Puppy by a guy on 'Unix&Linux' regarding my wanting to make a USB stick of my existing Debian and run it as an overlay or 'live' system, since USBs are so slow and ...
