ISO burners
GuestToo, has discovered an application called BurnCDCC∞, that just burns an ISO∞ to CD/R in Windows, nothing else. Less than 70k download
Deepburner∞ have a simple ISO burn option wizard
in their free home version 2.5 meg download
(no support for multitrack for our multi-session Puppy in the free version as far as I can tell)

Another option (also works with 98SE - the release version is to be written in .NET - hence the name) 11 meg
is Deep BurnerXP∞ Again no facility for multitrack ISO - will have to use Puppy
Installing Puppy to Hard drive?
If you want to follow Puppy development but remain fairly casually involved, just bootup from the CD. When you boot Puppy from the CD, Puppy will create a 256M file on your hard drive (less if there isn't enough space) and will use this for storing all your personal data. Thus, next time you bootup, all your personal settings and data, such as email, is still there
When a new version of Puppy is released, just burn it to CD and bootup. Generally, there's nothing else to do to upgrade, and all your personal data is still there. In this way, you can follow Puppy development with the absolute least hassles. If you wish, use a CD-RW Read Writable so as not to waste CDs
The way Puppy is set up is quite clever and protects the novice quite well
When you boot up from the CD, you are asked
* Type of keyboard layout
* type of mouse
* mouse connection
That information is stored on an available hard disk in one file along with your puppy settings. If you CD boot from Puppy on a new machine you will be questioned again about the mouse and keyboard layout. If using the same machine Puppy will boot straight up (with your video settings, internet settings, browser bookmarks etc. called up from the file
Then use your favourite CD burner software and burn "cd-puppy.iso" onto a CD/R
Installing Puppy to flash sticks or cards
Running off a stick (PenDrive) is easier than running of a SD card in a 8-in-1 usb drive.
both is possible : when you ran off CD there is a menu item to put puppy on a stick : FlashPuppy
