I recently downloaded and booted puppy, successfully I might add. However, I can't... How to put this... Access the internet. Let me say in advance, I am a complete newbie when it comes to Linux, so you'll have to put things bluntly for me.
Now, I'm going to ask several questions.
1. Can someone link me to a page that would explain how to dual boot this with WinXP? I google'd it and didn't find anything.
2. Is there any way to boot up puppy without having to have the CD in the CD-Drive?
3. I can't access my internet using my D-Link DWL-G650 RevC[3] wireless internet card. I searched for a good half of the day for a driver, but couldn't find anything.

Uh huh
you sure would, unfornately
but hang in there cos it's well worth the wait, apart from the wireless support the GFX are smoother and quicker...Just when you first boot you just have to answer a few questions about your computer....
But when it asks for your graphics chipset and asks you to pick a driver pick the vesa driver
Pick option 0 to begin with
