Question Solved: Remove Windows OS and install Linux Puppy
I've been given an old Compaq presario desktop that has an "unauthorized" windows OS installed on it. The computer has a 600MHz celeron processor and has 256MB Ram. I want to completely remove the Windows OS and install Linux Puppy as the OS. How do I do this? (I've been told that Linux Puppy is light on resource use and would be good to use for this computer.)
