I don't know puppylinux, but theoretically lurker should work on most
unix systems. You need a c++ compiler (g++), zlib, mimelib and xsltproc
available to compile. To actually use it a cron daemon and any webserver
should do it.
You could also use a linux distribution which ships a precompiled lurker
package, like debian or ubuntu.

The tarball contains a INSTALL document, which describes how to setup
lurker as mailinglist archiver. See
http://lurker.cvs.sourceforge.net/lurker/lurker/INSTALL?view=markup
for an online version.

You need to deliver the mails to lurker-index. Different solutions are
possible. Either subscribe an extra adress to the lists and use procmail
to deliver the mail, or configure mailserver or listmanager directly to
do so.
