Backup a bit. When flash Puppy is booted with the Wakepup2 floppy all modules are loaded, sound is fine. I am trying to get a boot CD to work. because it would be faster booting. My first post detailed the problems.
The PC is an old Gateway with sound built in the motherboard.

GRUB multiboot Puppy 4
I have been trying to configure GRUB (sat on a floppy) to give me the options of either booting from the live cd or booting from my frugal install on the HD, without success. L
The grubflop file seems to be the answer I need but can you answer a question please? Apologies if it is stupid or basic but I am trying to learn a whole new world, this is my first real escape from Windows.
Why does the menu.lst file for the live CD option not look for a vmlinux kernel?
Thanks

Everything I know I found out for myself but only after some kind person pointed out the way.

Hi,
Which file should I edit to have "puppy pmedia=usbflash" as the default option to boot off of the Cdrom? I need this because not only my laptop does not boot from usb it also has a broken display (I can't have a display next to the laptop in it's intended location).
I would also like to ask which version of puppy any of you would recommend ( I need samba+mpd+ssh on this puppy)
thanks a bunch,

To boot a usb with a cd; use the cd with the same os the flash
has on it. When it gets to boot screen, type "puppy pmedia=
usbflash". (no quotes)
Integrate these tools with Puppy Live-CD?
I've been using the tools in the first post of this thread for 2-3 years. They should really be included with the Puppy. Just click an icon and create the multi-boot tool, etc.
I've found multi-boot useful for running Puppy in a VirtualBox machine. VB doesn't boot from USB device. It will boot from a .iso image. I create the .iso image using the multi-boot tool, configure VB to boot from that .iso. Then I'm able to boot from my USB flash drive which contains Puppy.
