P.S please don't tell me that I need to know C++ or Assembly, or even that it's hard and I should never try it (I kind of figured all this out by doing a quick google search). All I want is a half descent guide on how to do that. icow (15313)

858676 2010-02-15 22:39:00 I would think the best starting point would be Puppy Linux:105MB download
then if you leave the CD open when you burn the .iso you can add apps etc
and play around.I have my own Puppy now with Skype Firefox Thunderbird
Gimp and a few odds and ends and it is 200MB on a live CD and also it is my only OS on my desktop and Laptop.
23 seconds start up on my desktop.

I did so and only got these files: boot.cat, boot.msg, help.msg, isolinux.bin, isolinux.cfg, logo.16 and vmlinuz. I tired opening the .bin and only got a duplicate of the file and nothing else will open. How do I edit it?
p.s what OS where you using?

858678 2010-02-16 06:07:00 I was using Ubuntu before settling on Puppy as it does everything I want and
is so quick to load.
Did you burn the .iso file to CD then boot from the CD ?

858679 2010-02-16 06:23:00 No I didn't boot from the disk I just burnt the disk and looked inside it. If I boot from the disk how do I add programs and files etc so they are stil there when I redistribute the disk? icow (15313)
