The answer is "if you install all the stuff Ubuntu uses to manage it."
Which makes it not very small.

Basically, it's a Puppy question, as Dimesio says.

Just to be extra-helpful: here's a thread on murga-linux where a
developer adds support for these 3G dongles to Puppy:
http://is.gd/2nmzL - presumably that forum will have people who know
the distro and can help with problems.


>> Next question : Will wine even work on puppy linux? What version of it should I download? It's pretty different from Ubuntu i'm guessing and not debian based.
