:D Welcome Giulio!

You mean something like what this cat's trying to do?

Which is the actual ISO you're referring too?

A stick with Amikit pre-installed or burned by you?

If the latter, your method?

Which brand of drive?

Hi Semme, thanks :)
i downloaded the iso from the Amikit site, it's a version of amikit running hosted in puppylinux. i've burned in an USB Sandisk stick. i've tested then on my pc and on a friend of mine desktop. on mine didn't works, on my friend desktop yes so i think this is something related with my PC .
When i try to boot it goes sometimes to "setting up services" sometimes a little further to "optical" but then it freeze.

Gidi, are there any boot parameters mentioned during the initial splash screen..

You know, Tab, F1, F2, etc..? If yes, try adding "acpi=off" to the boot line.

Have you tried the ISO from CD?

Could be it simply doesn't like your hardware.

Unless someone here is familiar with this I suggest you ask on their forum.
