i recently thought about installing puppy on my uncles old computer since windows lags his comp alot and ive heard alot about puppy running well with old comps.

i was wondering how you can configure the internet on puppy?

Yes. I find the best way to learn things is doing them. Well safely of course just diving in has always helped me to learn.

When you run puppy in the menu under system you will find network wizard, it should "just work"
