I have ISO of Puppy Linux and just now I have downloaded ISO for Ubuntu.
Puppy Linux does not have gcc installed . But I know Ubuntu 14 has gcc and many other softwares installed. So Can I import those packages(like gcc, etc) from ISO file of Ubuntu and install it in puppy Linux or vice versa ??
It is not Puppy linux and it has nothing to do with Puppy based on Debian. Grub4dos/syslinux with option to install from iso. The deb package and install it. It is not Puppy linux and it has nothing to do with Puppy based on Debian. Downloading DebianDog be ready to learn different package manager and different system setup in Debian manner. DebianDog is a small Debian Live CD shaped to look like Puppy and act like Puppy.
I have slow internet connection and its pain to download all those packages again. I have many programmes installed in Puppy Linux too . So I don't want to leave Puppy Linux and redownload programmes again in Ubuntu. If its possible to migrate from Ubuntu to Puppy or Puppy to Ubuntu offline, please
P.S. I copied whole / of puppy Linux to Ubuntu's / thinking that it would work. Before restarting it worked, but after I rebooted Ubuntu, it stopped loading :p ..

Actually I would guess the live CD/install .iso does not include
gcc
, but it might. That image is just intended to get you a minimal desktop system. Anything you want after that needs to be installed via network.[In fact, as the OP observes in a comment, there is a way to rip packages from the live CD by using
dpkg-repack
.]If you downloaded all the packages available for Ubuntu 14, they might fill a dozen or more DVDs. Not one CD. So...
its pain to download all those packages again.
If it was not installed, then they were not part of the .iso, so you did not download them in the first place.
Install Deb Package Linux Mint

But presumably Puppy has its own package manager and you can install gcc that way. You probably cannot use the one from Ubuntu, and vice versa.

That was a very bad idea. You might as well start from scratch with that partition now, it will be thoroughly wrecked.
