How to use partitions, download alien packages

#1 Post by mohoe »

Question !
Is it true, that Puppy occupies only one partition ? Mine is on hda2, and there are hda1 (boot) and hda3 and swap. How can I make any use of hda3 with Puppy ? Or should I install a different distro there ?
How do I download an alien application directly or indirectly to a USB-stick ??
When I attempt that, I cannot really find the program again and cannot copy it to the USB-stick.
Thank You !!! :roll:

2.) download alien packages here with your webbrowser:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ackages-1/
or here:
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... ackages-1/

1.) A partition is like a drive in windows.
Some programs can be installed there, you can store music, downloads, other stuff.
