simplest way
The simplest way is to burn it to CD then boot a PC, and from within Puppy, use Universal Installer to prepare a USB or SD card.
There are utilities for opening an ISO file and getting the files from there (example, MagicISO for Windows). Then you can follow this tutorial:

But you have to use vmlinuz, initrd.gz, pup_301.sfs and zdrv_301.sfs from the pupeee ISO.

Thanks again for the new version I will try try it out again and use big_bass's suggestion although, im not sure what 848X480 will look like if anyone else is using it on the eeepc maybe they can post some suggestions on what works best for them. I am very interested in dvw86 topic on dual booting and what he is running on his, As he stated he may just make an installer script to put Pupeee on the internal drive with a dual boot setup. Since I have little skills with linux I am interested in seeing what comes up with. I very much like the puppy you made an plan on installing it to mine thanks again everyone for your insight and help.
I am dual booting the default xandros Linux that came with the Eeepc and Pupeee. You can use this post as a guide.

Well I couldn"t configure it on the ssd although, big_bass did make the menu1st for me. I did manage to install it back on a sd card and it is working great. I am very happy with it and thanks again for helping me out and others that need something easy and just works. I would like some more information than what is posted about getting the webcab to work. And yes it is enabled in bios. I am a happy pupian and have been ever since the day I came across puppy linux. I hope that you will continue with this project as it is a wonderful edition. [/img]
I downloaded the old iso have the new one now and webcam is working I do have a problem still with it shutting down still I have to depress the power button still to get it to totally powereoff after doing a shutdown I have had this problem before with older versions of puppy like 212 not sure why that is. Also I have a problem getting conky to read temp I have conky configured and added modprobe thermal to rc.local but no go. Then alienjeff suggested to add "sleep 5" just under where I added modprobe temp in the local.rc file all is good now. As for the background its not that good had to stretch it but here it is if you like it amlucia.http://img.flashtux.org/img132665020abex88e1752.jpg I'm not sure if i will not just boot pupeee from sd card as it does quite well from sd as it boots faster that way I really do enjoy finally having puppy linux on my eeepc its exactly why I got it for to begin with. Thanks dvw86 for sharing this with us.
Another person asked about how to get the touchpad to scroll. Alas, that's the same problem I'm having. We got Puppy installed on SD cards and it's running fine on the Eeepc (which is a great feat for Linux newbies!). Please, does someone know how to get the touchpad to scroll? THANKS! And thanks to the creator of the program - it's awesome!
If you track pad stops working then try:
modprobe evdev
and then restart x-server from the shutdown entry in menu (menu button).
If the track pad starts working after the "modprobe evdev" command, then evdev module is not being loaded at startup. Open the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local in a text editor and check to see if the last line of the file is:"modprobe evdev". If it is not, then enter it.
I just checked with evdev loaded, the track pad will scroll.
Another way is to use the Xorg Video Wizard to re-build and re-set all the xorg files. This will reset the track pad configuration. I hope this helps.

I was having this problem on a small notebook with an Alps Glidepoint mouse/touchpad (probably similar to what the Eeepc uses) with Puppy 3.01.nyu wrote: One problem I am facing is
the Touchpad. I can't scroll up/down of web pages. Does anyone
know how to solve this problem?
Installed the Puppy Dingo alpha release, which uses the 2.6.x kernel, and was delighted that the Glidepoint was recognized and the correct support for it, including the scrolling support, was installed.
Of course this won't help you until a new Eeepc release based on Dingo is released....
