I finally was able to get Puppy Linux running on an old Compaq 5050 with a 7 Gig HD and 333 mhz Celeron processor by putting the Puppy image on the hard disk and putting a floppy with the Smart Boot Manager on it in the floppy drive. After selecting a couple options in the boot manager Puppy loaded up in about a second! It was fantastic!

I'm a total newbie with any form of Linux so I'm trying to get my bearings but it is so cool already. Even though the machine has a slow processor all the windows and applications launch so quickly that it is funny! Totally neat.

On the way to Jim's to get rid of the Fl. Br. Gave it to rangy fellow named Tobias who was a little ethically conflicted about taking it. But as far I know it is still on the road.
