Subject: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Puppy and Feather linux ???s
There is a Linux multi-boot Live CD, but it's a little dated perhaps. As to
problems booting some Linux Live CDS, did you check the MD5 text file? Don't
forget not to rename what you downloaded as it can change the MD5 checksum.
Sometimes it's the CD or the drive that was used. I use hard drive drawers so
I can install safely and as often as I like. After all you don't need a huge
hard drive for testing out Distros. Depending on the video cards I had Puppy
fail on me sometimes, too. Pioneer has a Live CD that's based on Ubuntu and
worked when PcLinux and Mepis wouldn't, and it has 7 years support.
Welcome aboard,
Joan

you linux wizez,
I downloaded and burnt feather and puppy linux like I was recommended and
when I try to boot the OS up, on any of my PCs, there is no data recognition
from the CD. I copied them as an .iso file and everything. I had done the same
with DSL and it works fine, (on my newer PCs.) When I open the file with
Windows, on the puppy and feather, I just see and unrecognized file and nothing
else. When I open DSL in Windows you see a boot folder and when that is opened
there is an .iso folder and opening that there is a few icons, ie: boot, mail,
isofile. etc... Did I burn the images incorrectly or is there a better way of
going about it. I downloaded puppy and feather from distrowatch.com. Can
anybody help because I plan on useing ubantu and/or pclinuxos on a pc I am
building. Also how big exactly are these two OSs and can they be tested, to see
witch I like better, without installing them on the HD? Sorry one last one. Can
you put multiple Linux distros on one CD and then boot a
certain one and not the other???
Thanks so much you guys are great,
