Suppress "Looking for Puppy Files in Disk Drives" SOLVED

#1 Post by Smithy »

Is there a way of suppressing the boot up action of Puppy so that it doesn't look for Puppy files in computer disk drives?

I've hunted down and found some files that it insisted on loading up, but they were experimental and really screw things up when I load up the good completely remastered self contained (no save file) Puppy on a stick.

It might speed up the bootup process as well.

Please post the syslinux.cfg file from your flash drive.

This should be "pmedia=usbflash"

Thanks rcrsn51, that did the trick.
It now skips that bit and loads quicker.
