[brlug-newbies] Linksys ethernet board question

[Gary Stibbins]

I noticed on Puppy Linux,right clicking here and there,that there was   a
grub install,and under that was a simple install or a regular install.The
simple install,the way I understand it,is it automatically installs and the
other 1 is for people who know what they doing. Now if you can get Debian
packages for Puppy,I assume you can also run other things like Firefox.I
also have an external HP CDR-RW with fairly descent speed I'd like to see
how much trouble I'll have getting it to work.
It's getting where I hate dealing with Windows so taking it off would be
great.Leavesme more room to learn to work with the Debian packages.
