This link from the Puppy home page would be a good start:

There are two ways. If you click on Menu > Setup, you will see the Puppy Universal Installer. One of the choices is a USB flash drive.

Or if you want to learn a bit about the inner workings of Linux, you can use the manual procedure described part way down this thread:

In either case, the most difficult task may be figuring out how to set your BIOS to boot from the flash drive. Look for settings like Boot Priority and Hard Drive Priority.
