By defining a personalized storage area the boot time for Puppy Linux is now 8.5 min instead of 21min.
Kept crashing using 1024x768 regardless of use of pcivga option so had to go back to 800x600 which is quite usable.

I will be installing the WINE package and testing if I can run windows apps in Puppy.
Windows apps tend to run a whole lot faster and better in WINE than they do in Windows.
Windows XP performed quite slow for my purposes. I am hopeful that WINE can solve this.
