Good going!

Thanks for all the help everyone. I'm so happy I got it working.

I've got a few questions though. It comes with SeaMonkey, should I keep that or go with Firefox?

I downloaded a Gnome icon set, how do I use these icons? I also downloaded a JWM theme but I'm not sure where it's located and how to set it.

Also, every time I boot, it goes to the blue screen where it askes me if I want to boot Linux or XP, or install Grub to one of those. I tried hitting "install grub to linux parition" but that didn't seem to change anything.

All I have to do is hit enter but I'd like it if it would go right into puppy linux

On the last question:

Edit /etc/default/grub (as root), find the line GRUB_TIMEOUT= and change it to GRUB_TIMEOUT=0

Then run, also as root
Now the grub boot menu won't appear. If you need to get back to XP, hold down Shift before booting and the grub menu will show up.

I'm sorry I can't seem to find that file...

Well I messed something up. I used Gparter to give my hdd a bootflag and when I restarted it goes to a screen that says

Wary Puppy Linux
Linux 2.6.32-uni [i686 arch]


puppypc0613 login: root (automatic login)
#

And I can type stuff in.
I just want to get back to how it was, where I had a GUI or whatever.

or assuming you have gnome3

Plop via floppy-disk: yes
bootable puppy usb with unetbootin? try it
Install puppy on usb? try it when the pc is booted with Puppy on the other usb (and perhaps stay with a floppy-plop / puppy-USB boot and dont touch your HDD.

No floppy drive
I dont think I can boot from usb unless plop was still installed, I think it went away when i deleted the xp partition

Have you check Bios for network boot?
