No, I had to keep Win, because it is a ridiculous, tiny netbook without optical drive. I have no installation disk, too. You can encrypt your flashdrive with Diskcryptor, simple, but you cannot use it with Linux. Take Truecrypt, more difficult, but definitely doable. It runs on Win and Linux! With T...

I had a few serious tries with Linux, but there were always things not working. May it be Synaptic Package Manager, Update Manager, dimming brightness or ceaseless crashes, insufficient manuals, updating, etc.. No wonder a vast majority is using Win. Getting things done with Linux...no! Endless tink...

Here the specs. I do not want to run TP on a PC, on a netbook instead, as mentioned. Because the dialog in yellow windows did not appear a gave it a try on a PC and those windows popped up. Then other problems appeared as described. A try on my netbook-same problem, only a hard reboot brought that n...

Rebooted Puppy on that PC, went nuts. Black screen with enigmatic entries, last line: end trace [32d61658cb6a0ffb] 2. reboot: Ct kernel offset. 2 keyboard LED's blinking.

That was awful because most distros do not offer permanence and a folder where data can be saved. On another stick I installed an OS with USB-Cre...

Hm, I mentioned using YUMI for installation to the stick, but that you know already- what further details are necessary? Thanx!

Hi, Via YUMI I installed Tahrpup(tahr-6.0-CE_no PAE) on a stick. Started it on my netbook (VAIO VPCW21C7E).
