Follow-up from developers
Hi chaps, I contacted the developers of DriveDroid to recommend that they make Puppy available within DD. Interesting reply -- here it is: "Since DriveDroid only emulates USB drives on most devices (atm), the ISO files need to be compatible with USB drives (they need to be 'hybrid'). I've tried...

The developers, Softwarebakery (http://softwarebakery.com/drivedroid-released) have made a number of distros available, including Slitaz -- but n...

Hi everyone, This is a blanket 'thanks' to everyone who replied to my initial posts. I'm away from work, and have just learned that I will have very limited Internet access over the next few day. I won't be able to try the fixes suggested or make any detailed response for about one week. I'll return...

Hi rcrsn51, thanks for the follow-up. The objective of the 'puppy stick' is to be able to carry a complete work/recovery environment (networking, skype, text editors, office suite, browser) on a neckchain. It's working pretty well with all the computers I can test it on but not my own much-loved wor...

Hi BigPup, you got it.. The RAID workstation boots happily from a Puppy LiveCD but not from a Puppy USB stick made from the same CD. The USB stick boots several other computers so the issue is somewhere between the USB stick and the RAID workstation. I don't kinow enough about the Adaptec BIOS to te...

HI BigPup, thanks again for the suggestions. I know a bit about boot settings in BIOS in general, have even managed to update BIOS (but it was on a non-RAID system years ago). I was after specific advice on booting issues in RAID, especially Adaptec. Any resources you can point me towards, or should...

Hi BigPup, thanks for the response. I'll try to make my query unambiguous this time. Background: 1. I downloaded Puppy 5.2.8 ISO. 2. I made a live CD using a slow burn rate. 3. I booted the RAID workstation from it. 4. I made a 'puppy stick' USB startup disk on the RAID workstation with the universa...

Puppy USB startup / RAID
Hi chaps, first post. Many thanks to everyone involved with Puppy -- having spent a fair bit of time messing with both Slitaz and Tiny Core, I'm very impressed with Puppy's competence out of the box. i. I downloaded the ISO for a 5.2.8 live CD, and used it to make a Puppy-based USB stick (Kingston 8...
