Here is my view of Lucid Puppy:

PS I like Wine as well and, though I no longer need it, W98SE.

Edoc. 511.sfs is inside 511.iso. You didnt compare your iso.delta upgraded 511.iso MD5sum to original 511.iso MD5sum.

511.sfs of course give different MD5sum than 511.iso.

Here it is....

They describe it as mostly a bug fix.

hi everybody
i bought an eeepc 4g a year ago, i was running on linux, but i wanted to try to run on xp, i installed it thanks to a usb bootable. but my eeepc became very slow and i couldn't neither watch movies nor easily play songs on it... whatever, today i thought about restoring linux but the CD offer with my Asus didn't correctly run and i couldn't create a usb boot, i knew that linux puppy was quiet good so i downloaded the .iso and made an usb bootable everything worked correctly exept the fact that it was running on the usb and windows xp was still present filling the disk space...
my question is how can i erase windows xp and completely install linux puppy.

If you boot from a CD using the boot setting "puppy pfix=ram" Puppy will load to the RAM.

Then you can go to gparted and reformat and repartition the drive.

Or, you can go to Puppy Universal Installer and at the appropriate point in the install tell it to use the partition your MS version of windows is in and it will overwrite it.

BTW: For your Netbook you want to use Puppeee or Fluppy as they are optimized for those platforms. I am using Fluppy 005 on mine and am very pleased. Jemimah created that Puplet and is very helpful (as are others on the Fluppy threads) and very knowledgeable.

My suggestion is that you go here:

And start with a version of Puppy that is optimized for your Netbook - that should remove some of the future complications.

I have not booted from USB yet so I am not certain what is happening.
