LILO

Thank you for the info. I'll try setting up LILO with the info from isolinux.cfg and see what happens. If that doesn't work I'll switch to GRUB. Thanks again for the help.

Pup001

Thanks all for the help. I thought is was nice that the Puppy website offered so many videos on how to do things. Now I see that they aren't up to date and things have changed big time from version 1 to version 2. Thanks once again for your help.

can puppy be loaded on hard drive and have boot in LILO?

I currently have WindowsXP and Mandriva2006 on my computer. The LILO boot is in the MBR. Can I load puppy on a hard drive and add the info to LILO to boot puppy? If so what info do I need to add to LILO to have it work right?

Can't find pup001

I wanted to load usr_cram.fs into folder with pup001 but can't find file. Did a search and it says no such file. I'm running Puppy Linux 2.00 from a CD and would like it to boot faster. Where do I put the usr_cram.fs file?
