Hey, im trying to get puppy linux on my freinds netbook. I have tryed booting it from a USB two ways - a general install of a USB, bootflash install, then universal upuppy install, and an install as if it were a hard drive and GRUB on the membrane, and the superblock. the first way nver even attempted to work, the second stayed at a blank, black screen. It does support USB boot, but it's pretty picky. I'm still toying around, but is there a specific way i can do it for this type of computer? thanks. |

Does this flash drive boot on any other machines? |

You clearly haven't thought this through... DUH. if im asking about a specific PC its pretty obvious that it will. Ive treid it on 3 different desktops, so im pretty sure thats a positive. maybe i shouldnt be posting this here... |

. I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook (D255E). Using a USB stick to boot Puppy 525. I was making a boot stick for my old compaq laptop. Tried it in the Acer and it boots fine. It's been a few months but I think I used the Bootflash install Puppy to USB. Accepted defaults from there. Anyway, it can be done. FWIW - 1. You can not boot from the built in SD slot. 2. For Puppy to recognize the SD slot I got the pet package from here. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=65929&start=29 Hope that's helpful rod |

No, you should probably stick with Windows. Windows help forums are where I'd expect a snotty remark from someone asking for help.

You told that to one of teh most helpful guy in our forum. I would have been more wordy than he was so I trust you totally misjudged his good intention with that question. that is easy to do and now the whole thing escalate. Could you give us some slack and hopefully we give you slack too. Trust me I have been active on almost every forum there is and this one is the most friendly if one treat us friendly. I've tested that numerous times. search for nooby on Ubuntu or Mint or whatever forum and you see the difference _________________ I'm a noob so I use Google Search of Puppy Forum |
