2. It might be helpful to let everyone know, it wasn't easy, for me at least.
I am a newbie at setting up linux.
After booting from live cd, I installed to the harddrive.
I then had to boot again to my win98 partition so I could
download wifi-beta and wag. These can both be found
by looking through the wiki forum at the puppy website.
After rebooting to puppy, it was just a matter of finding
the download files and clicking on them and they installed.
Ran setup for wireless lan under setup icon, ran wag from there,
ran wifi-beta also from there. I then had to hit the scan button
a couple of times to have my wireless router detected.
I have a dlink router and linksys wireless-b pcmcia card.

There is a little more involved if you have wep security set up
on your wirelss network. I don't cause I live out in the boonies
and I am not too worried about it.

Good luck to anyone else trying it.
Puppy has been the easiest linux distro I have tried,
it is my fourth or fifth.
