- Extract the zip file, which contains: slacko64-6.3.0.iso, Rufus-2.11.exe, monero-wallet-generator-master (dir), and this ReadMe.txt.
- Make a bootable USB of the ISO using Rufus 2.11. Agree to all the default settings in the dialog boxes.

- Reboot using the USB into PuppyLinux (hold down F12 during boot to select boot drive)
press f12 repeatedly on startup
- Open the monero-wallet-generator.html file in the directory, generate the wallet seed and keys
- Save the seed, address and keys to the second USB drive. Copy/paste, don't type. This is you digital vault, not to be used until fund extraction.
- Write down the seed three times on a single sheet of paper. This is your physical vault.
- Save the address (and maybe viewkey) to the third USB drive. This is your address usb, which can be used with relative abandon.
- Remove second and third USB drives.
- Wipe the first USB drive (containing the wallet generator and linux), or destroy it.
- Remove all USB drives.
- Reboot, reconnect internet.
You now have a cold wallet!
