Win XP fan soured on MS
I used to do all kinds of (mostly) work on computers from mainframes to Atari (not commodore), and then mainly Dos and Windows PCs. So I have not been an MS antagonist (but I was a BIG fan of Atari)....

I have now successfully booted my first Linux – Slacko Puppy 5.6. WhooHoo! Messed w/ it for a bit, but for all the trouble to set it so I can read it, I would prefer to have it savable on the hard drive in a partition.
When you shut down Puppy it gives you the option of creating a save file on your Windows hard drive. If you do that it preserves all your personal settings, files you created and any programs you downloaded while you were running the live cd and they're there for you the next time you boot Puppy from the cd. The advantage of going this route is you don't have to putz around with partitioning or changing your mbr.
You can read more about it here: Puppy Save File
If you do decide to partition and install Puppy on your hard drive, don't forget to run defrag first.
