Info on Downloading

• If you use a download manager (e.g. GetRight) please make sure that it only establishes 1 (ONE) connection to a server.
• The top 3 links are ordinary links (http/ftp). Just download the way you usually do (with web browser/downloadmanager etc).
• BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer filesharing method that can be very fast. You need to have BitTorrent software before you can use it. See BitTorrent for more info.
• MetaLink is a way of combining your download from several different sources instead of relying on just one. You need to have a MetaLink-capable downloader before you can use it. See MetaLink for more info.
• ed2k checksums are for use with filesharing programs like aMule & MLDonkey

Patch to update a puppy-3.00-seamonkey.iso to puppy-3.01-seamonkey.iso

Info on checking your downloaded file

• If you used a standard download link & method, you need to check the file has downloaded correctly, by verifying its Md5 checksum. See Md5 for more info.
• Md5 check is unnecessary with BitTorrent & ed2k downloads (and some MetaLink clients), as those downloads are checked & fixed automatically.

Info on using your downloaded file

• Once your download is complete, you should have an ".iso" file. After checking this .iso file is OK (see above), you need to burn it onto a CD or DVD: see Burn Puppy CD in Windows, Burn Puppy CD in Puppy, BurningLinuxIsoBasics for more info.
• Once you've burned the CD/DVD with Puppy, put the CD/DVD in your computer, restart the computer and Puppy starts.
