Puppy looks like a great distro & I have followed the instructions to create a live cd and a 1-click install:

The cds work fine in a modern pc but I am trying to install to an oldish Sony laptop (pcg srx-77) with an external CD drive. The cd drive connects to the laptop via an iLink cable. I can install various Ubuntu distros absolutely fine, run Gparted software etc. but puppy fails at the boot stage every time after it has loaded the drivers to access the disk drives with the message:
I've tried various boot codes but to no avail:Searching for puppy files in computer disk drives.....pup-430.sfs not found

also reformatted the HD with Inode=128 as per here:
Code: Select all
mkfs.ext3 -I 128 /dev/hda1
