instant linux on winxp
Paul Keith:
How exactly did you install Puppy?
As far as I know QemuPuppy should just be an icon. Click it and out pops a window just like a normal VM.
Normal puppy is often recommended as live cd first and foremost before frugal/whatever Linux likes to call installing in HD.
It would be highly strange to get into a situation where you might accidentally find yourself in a position to reboot to Puppy as a newb.
kalos:
well, i installed "Puppy Linux 528.exe", which is supposed to be a linux installer in winxp
Paul Keith:
I've never tried it. From the description it sounds like you just wubi'd Puppy into your Windows.
It definitely won't be an instant linux on winxp since it's a separate partition. You need to look for the instructions specifically for QemuPuppy to just get a Virtual Puppy on your usb stick.
skwire:
kalos, I really think you need to go with the virtual machine route. That's the least invasive way to do what you want.

I think it's more like the only way. :)
