Additions:
When making an installation to an internal H.D.D. with an existing operating system, one has the option to either allow that operating system to remain or be removed. Only remove the existing operating system if the computer is more than 3 years old since most computer manufacturers cease to provide [[http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=483349#483349 new B.I.O.S. versions]] after that time. If the intention is to remove the existing operating system, regardless of computer age, then ensure to check for and install any B.I.O.S. updates first.
If the Puppy files are to be appended, by making a //frugal installation only// of Puppy, then this would involve one of the following:
- either making a //new partition// for Puppy (not recommended)
- or, using an //existing partition// for Puppy (recommended)
One can place a frugal installation within a pre-existing Windows installation. The save file, although itself is comprised of a Linux file-system, may reside on a F.A.T. or N.T.F.S. partition; which is why a frugal installation is also called a "co-exist" installation. A full hard disk drive installation on a F.A.T. partition is not possible because F.A.T. partitions do not support Linux symbolic links.
There is an option to install from within Microsoft Windows using the relevant file from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5ah0d0rzcz5cc
