installation to usb memory stick problems

Loaded up ALpha 4 to cd, and booted on pentium 4, BEAUTY, much better at recognising the LCD monitor, and all drives identified. Everything seemed to work at a quick glance.

Impressed with ease of connecting to cable, liked the auto save, and the disappearance of having to nominate file size etc on first use.

A mate and I load puppy onto computers handed in for recycling. Puppy is ideal due to size and stability. Most buyers are older, just trying to begin with computers and use email, browse the web, and use a word processor. However initially they need to see an attractive, functional desktop, which th...
