Install or Upgrade

The installation process consists of:

Download and burn the ISO file to a CD
Reboot the computer with the Pandev Linux Live-CD
Configure Pandev Linux (next section) to use a USB flash drive
Reboot the computer with the Pandev Linux Live-CD and the USB flash drive
At the boot screen, run w/o any options by pressing Enter
If multiple save files are found (i.e. from other Pandev or Puppy installations) you will be prompted to specify which one to use

Configuration

Step 1: At the boot screen, run with "puppy pfix=ram" (configuration time only)

Step 2: Specify the desired keyboard layout

Step 3: Specify the X server type

Step 4: Specify your monitor type

Step 5: Specify the desired resolution and color depth

Step 6: Shutdown when Pandev Linux loads (recommended)

Step 7: Save to File (recommended)

Step 8: Insert a USB flash drive (recommended)

Step 9: Specify the USB flash drive for storing the virtual Linux filesystem. Disk size is often times the easiest way to determine which is which.

Step 10: Specify a save filename (i.e. pandev20081029) which corresponds to the Pandev Linux version (recommended)

Step 11: Specify Normal (recommended)

Step 12: Specify 512MB (recommended)
