i have hardy'n'puppy booting from an external-usb-hdd @ artigo
puppy got installed from the live-environment gave from puppy-live-cd
itself (universal installer was its name?)
installed it to a fat32 partition where i also keep raw materials of my
work
don't know why but puppy blamed me when i tried to install to ext3
puppy asks you about what to do with your grub related thangs
but i simply ignored because i wanted to use the grub installed by
ubuntu
i think re-installing ubuntu won't help
you just have to add some lines to your menu.lst by yourself
i had to add somethang like acpid=off to what was officially mentioned
on their site

wasn't there somethang like "puppeee" already as a delivertive?
am using japanese version of puppy to keep my ubuntu alphabet-input only
installed ubuntu from alt-installer and only sometimes get into x
and for x i use dwm
i want to try this small-ubuntu-environment on that machine ;-)
