I am very new at Linux but may I suggest a solution if you might have
burned it incorrectly somehow? It might take all the fun out of it though.You
can purchase a cd of Puppy Linux 3.0 and 3.1 for $1.95 and postage.The site is
OsDisc.com. This site has cd's for any distro which might interest you. One
site which I can't remember sent me Ubantu totally free. I didn't have to pay
postage.Ubantu seemed to care about my bios. It installed everything except the
acpi.

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

Hey guys/gals another question for 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,
Ty ; ~
