SOLVED Greetings, I am brand new to all forms of Linux (I tried Ubuntu for about 2 days but didn't like it.) I ran Puppy from the CD I created in Windows and it WORKS AMAZING! I love it, everything about it. I have searched the forum, but can not seem to find the exact problem, so please don't yell at me if I'm duplicating a question 
I have been able to run Puppy off of the Live CD without any problems, however, I have tried to create it so that I could boot off of a usb. I created the Live USB following the tutorials on here without any problems, so I thought. I changed my BIOS so that it boots from the USB as directed on the forum, and it starts booting from the USB without a problem. It loads the first couple files (I think two files) and then an error occurs: pup-431.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial-ramdisk console… /bin/sh" can't access tty; job control turned off Like I said, it works perfectly on the LiveCD, I just prefered the USB if possible. I reformated, recreated, and tried everything I could to get the USB to work, but it's beyond my skill level. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

Try another USB port in the back of your computer. " But it didn't work off the front port. Others did...some didn't. So you must check all ports. Because there is no clear standard with USBs.

Thank you! I can not believe that it was as simple as that. I tried all four of the USB drives on my laptop. Two of them work, two of them do not! This problem, for me, is solved! |

I am working on a Vortex86 and I had a number of problem, this one I had with a CF card. It is formatted as SuperFloppy, ext3 I included "pfix=copy" in extlinux.conf and off it went |
