I am running this as a program in Windows 7.

Bootloader gives the option Windows 7 1st.

Slack0 Puppy 2nd.

blkid shows 4 primary Compaq Presario CQ57 ntfs partitions so I decided to run Linux this way till I save up enough pennies to swap out the drive. I could make the recovery disks (I already have made them) and wipe the drive clean but in case my wife

wants to use this and she has already dumped a lot of data

on here.

Well, instead of purge and burn. I'll compromise and swap out

the drive for a 500 gig 7200 rpm drive or a 2.5 SSD of about 128GIG.

Choice is good. If interested.
