I'm a Puppy newbie but a seasoned user of Linux Mint. Have been very impressed and amazed at Puppy 4.3.1.

I was very excited when I read about your games compilation, because my daughter had just given me an old Toshiba Tecra 8000 and asked whether I could make it usable by her 3 1/2 year old son, who is becoming a bit of a computer whizz at nursery school (!). Your solution fits me to a T.

So I burned a CD of FATGamesPup but, it has failed to boot. One disk I ran has a kernel panic and the other one hangs when it searches for video devices. Now obviously that points to a bad download or bad CD burn but I haven't been able to run MD5checksum on them because I can't find out how to do MD5checksums.

ON EDIT:

Sidders has saved the day with his Hansamben derivative (see other message), so I won't be pursuing this any more.

If I search the forums, I find MD5 everywhere, but the messages all say "run MD5 checksum on it". Thanks, but nowhere can I find a Howto for actually running it. Which program do I use? I burned with Brasero and asked it to verify, but then it wouldn't allow me access to the CD file, even when I ran it as root. Very frustrating.

Any suggestions or some help with the MD5 would be appreciated. Sorry I am such a newbie about such things.

I don't know how everyone does it, but I just navigate to the directory containing the file to be checked in a terminal window and type 'md5sum a space and the name of the file' and hit enter. A few seconds later the md5 sum of the file is displayed. (The bigger the file the longer it takes.) Then I compare the results to the text file that has the md5 sum to make sure it matches exactly. Hope that helps, Steve.

The downloaded size seen by a Chinese Windows XP in a PC internetbar here in somewhere city in China is;

472,602,624 bite which means 450MB. But isn't it supposed to be 470MB?

Is the downloaded size correct?

The internet connection is too slow to download something like 470MB so I went out this incredibly cold day to download in a Chinese PC bar.

I have downloaded again but the file size is the same.

I jut wanna know what others got for the file size.

Plaese someone verify the file size.

Don't forget that a kilobyte is actually 1,024 bytes, and a megabyte is actually 1,048,576 bytes so for large files it may look a little off while actually being the correct size.
