Boot from flash drive

[bjray]

I D/L Linux Puppy, moved to my flash drive. they say that can be hard to boot from flash. I'm using a note book with no cdrom & don't want it on my hard drive. There is lots of info out ther maybe to much
Any help

Since you do not desire anything on your hard drive, I would recommend Slax over Puppy, especially since it has a 32-bit download for USB in just about any language I can think of -- http://www.slax.org/en/download.php
Please read the Documentation section

I've decided this is over my head and will not use it, maybe i CAN FIND some one to set it up for me. Thanks for the answers.

Hi to install puppy to your flash drive:
1.) simply download and install lili: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
2.) select your iso, or select from a list of distrobutions, then click install.
3.) reboot and select usb drive from boot menu.
puppy is now able to boot from your flash drive.

puppy does not require anything to be installed on your hard drive...
