I'm trying to upgrade: http://puppylinuxfaq.org/first-steps-in-puppy-linux/9-installing-puppy-linux/23-upgrading-puppy-linux.html I hammer the F2 key during the splash screen, but it does nothing so Puppy just loads as normal. How can I get to this screen? thanks |

Which version of Puppy are you trying to upgrade to? I assume you're booting from a CD you burned. What did you use to burn it? Does F2 work when you boot the Puppy you already have installed? (Not the CD.) |

I'm using 5.3.1, tried 2 CDs as I didn't check the md5sum with the first one. I used whatever CD burner comes with Ubuntu for one CD and Pburn for the second one. I use the CD to boot puppy as I can't get into it otherwise, even though it's installed to the hard drive. _________________ I'm running SlackoPuppy 5.3.1 and it's super-awesome |

Ah, so the problem you are really trying to solve is that you've installed Puppy onto a hard disk but it won't boot unless you start with the CD? |

No, the problem I'm trying to solve is a bunch of issues with this CD that may be happening because I didn't check the md5 thing. I want to reinstall it on the hard drive partition. Now the partition I want isn't showing up in Puppy Universal Installer. Sorry for hijacking my own thread. I don't really care if it needs the CD or not - I just want it to work.
