Hi:
I have a frugal install of puppy 301 on hda2 (hd0,1).
I have downloaded devx_301.sfs and openoffice-2.3.0.sfs.
My menu.lst parameters include:
psubdir=puppy301
I have tried placing the sfs files in /mnt/home, in /mnt/home/puppy301 and in / without any success (ie openoffice does not load nor does devx).
This seems to me to be a simple procedure but I am stumped. Am I missing something very obvious here?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Can't load sfs files on boot
Thanks for the quick replies Mark and JustGreg.
JustGreg:
I've tried using the boot manager with every alternative that I could think of but without any luck.
Mark:
I put them in "/" of the partition, that has the pup_save.2fs and added the option
pdev1=hda2
to the grub options in menu.lst but it didn't seem to make a difference.
I also downloaded OpenOffice-2.3.1.sfs and checked the md5sum (which was correct, but no luck.
I tried adding _301 to the name of the file, also without any luck.
Thanks again for your replies.
Should I be looking at a script in /etc/rc.d/rc.local to manually mount the files on boot?
1. I'm not sure how to do this.
2. It seems like a poor fix for something that should be relatively easy.
Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
I feel like I am missing something obvious.
