The first questions

#1112 Post by PuppyMel »

Hi, I'm new.

Can I install Puppy Linux on the same flash drive I'm running from?

Does Puppy Linux WPA2 support distributions?

Do the Puppy Linux distributions support VPN?

With respect. The first impressions from acquaintance to Puppy are fine.

You may need to define "running from".
I would advise against installing onto anything but an empty (new) flash drive.
The reason is that what is on there has more value than the cost of a new drive and there is no point in putting it at risk.

Many puppies support running a VPN. For some you need to add a *.pet to make it do it.

I am sure that fans of the various puppies will comment further.

Frugal will work without affecting the current contents (unless you want it to).

Frugal is the way Puppy was designed to work in the first place and has more features. You can install it to a separate folder on the drive if the current format supports that; otherwise it just exists as a single file on the media and uses its own "file system" within that file.
