Hello, I'd downloaded Puppy and had some initial problems making it work which were resolved via advice from the forum. I've been using Puppy to do almost everything lately and I really like it. There's one thing that I've got issues with that I need help on. It's playing music. I have my drive C: w...

I have music on my computer's hard drive. It's formatted NFTS for Windows XP. how do I access this music using Puppy's Gxine player?

Ok so I will do the following:

1. Look at my computer in detail for an Ethernet port

Or, if my computer doesn't have an Ethernet port I will install an Ethernet card that I can get for $6 at my local computer store.

The subject about says it all. I have a computer without an Ethernet Card and so I connect my DSL via USB. The modem is an external modem provided by my ISP. The modem is described in my materials as a "DQ USB IAD LAN Modem." Puppy doesn't seem to recognize it. Is there a workaround or sho...

First I tried a Memorex CD/RW that had been used before. I think it may have been bad.

The 2nd time I used a Verbatium CD-R. It worked just fine.

Ok, thanks to the poster that suggested burning the iso onto a different brand of CD-R. It worked great! I got to play with Puppy and I love it! I need one more thing to be fully functional. I connect to the internet via DSL using a USB IAD LAN Modem. How do I set that up?

Ok, I will give that a try. I burned the ISO onto an old Memorex CD/RW that I'd used many many times before. Maybe that was the issue. I will try and let you know. Also on the same subject I used the latest version of "BurnCDCC" to burn my ISO. What settings should I use to ensure the best...

Ok, I've tried all the boot combos again after unplugging all USB devices. I get the error just without the 2 lines I just gave. I cannot boot from the Secondary CD drive. What I would like to know is what does the error I receive mean? I don't think that I won't be able to run Puppy or Linux but ap...

Ok, please disregard my previous post. Although I can RUN any CD from the drive it appears upon reboot the drive (or any CD in it) isn't recognized. So what's my options there? Regarding the suggestions of entering codes upon boot I tried all that were given. I couldn't get anything to work but inte...

In reply to the most recent questions regarding the CD drive yes I do use it regularly. It is recognized by the BIOS and by XP. I am trying to use the boot info given earlier and I will let know of the results.

Ok I just tried at the boot screen of Puppy to enter the puppy<Space>ide=nodma as mentioned in the earlier post. Unfortunately it would appear that I'm in the 10%. I still get the same error as before. Regarding the drive swap that's no problem at all. I installed the drives (DVD drive as Master and...

I've tried it with both my CD/RW and DVD/CD drives. THe CD/RW drive is set to secondary and doesn't recognize the Puppy CD. THe Maser is the DVD/CD drive and that's the one I'm getting this error on.

I am booting off the DVD/RW drive. THE CD/RW drive is empty.

Please see this post for details on my hardware.

I'm sorry to say but that didn't resolve the issue. Unfortuantely it still hangs during the boot process. I've managed to get an error off the screen though. I made a second post with this error.

I am a newbie to Puppy and I'm trying to run it off of a LiveCD. The process begins and I see that my hardware is being recognized. The process stops with this error: ERROR, cannot find Puppy on idecd boot media PUPMODE=1 PDEV= Excited to initial ramdisk commandline /bin/sh; can't access tty; job co...

I never thought about that. Thank goodness for the forums!

I've downloaded the most recent release of Puppy Linux and I've used CDCC to burn the .iso to a CD/RW. I have checked and my BIOS is set to boot from the CD first. When I try to boot I get the intial screen for boot options. I just let it go for the 5 seconds then I see the program start to recogniz...

I arrive at the page where I can enter boot options. Whatever I type in or if I do nothing the same thing happens. During the boot process just after Puppy detects my storage devices the process hangs. After that nothing. If I hit enter it brings up a "#" prompt. I'm running Windows XP on ...
