Hard Drive Installation on Computers With Less Than 128MB RAM

If the computer has a swap partition Puppy Linux will automatically use that to increase the virtual size of the ramdisk (a.k.a. physical RAM plus swap partition). If you have ever installed another Linux distribution on your computer it's likely you already have a swap partition ready for Puppy to use.
