Put Lucid Puppy on USB from Windows. In the following section I show you one way to install and run "LUPU" Lucid Puppy from a Flash Drive using YUMI. Lucid Puppy, coordinated by Barry Kauler, is made from a combination of Woof and Canonical's Ubuntu Lucid Lynx release. Although cram packed with popular features, this Linux distribution remains lightweight and small. Weighing in at only 128MB.
