Additions:
GRUB can be installed [[http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=16950 manually]]. GRUB has two parts - ""stage1"" and ""stage2"".

**Suggestions**
I would suggest that if you wish to install Puppy in a ""Windows98"" or ME partition, after booting from a live CD, examine the hard drive and if you find a pupsomething file delete it and continue with the install to the Win partition using the Wizard.
You may have to also unmount the partition you are trying to install to.
In conclusion I hope this document will be of some use to those of you who are not experienced in the use of Linux and associated programs.
This document was compiled from many sources and by the use of practical work if you have any queries or suggestions please post them on the Puppy forum or the Wiki when it is in full use.
