Not at all! There is absolutely no need to install Puppy to hard drive, and the majority of Puppy users just run Puppy from the live-CD. Puppy has two package installation systems, PupGet and DotPup, available from the “Setup” menu. Any package that you choose to download and install will go into Puppy’s “pup_save.3fs” file, which is permanent storage on the hard drive. I recommend that you read-up on the package management system: Package management Note: If you have booted Puppy the very first time, you should shutdown and reboot, so that Puppy will have a pup_save.3fs file (see previous question). Then, when you run the Puppy package manager and install packages, they will be installed permanantly.
