Are all applications in the ram?

#1 Post by 8139david »

I'm not very familiar with puppies.
When more applications are added to a puppy, are they all loaded at once into the ram?
So that one needs a machine with more ram to run it efficiently?

How Puppy works:

Depends on the computers amount of memory and how Puppy is installed.
run it efficiently?
That is an open ended question.
Depends on a lot of factors.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

If you mean if you install an aplication is it in ram then yes and no.
If a hard drive frugal then no
If a usb install then yes until you shutdown then no.
If running live only no save from say a cd then yes.
If a full install then no.
If a save folder then no.

If an sfs and not enough ram and loading on the fly then no...definately no loaded at boot unless a multisession Cd.

If multisession cd then yes

See gets a little complicated :D

mike

ps if its me then yes ;)
