[Staffslug] Frustration!!!!

Finally I can get back to using one of my Linux boxes...so what happens? It won't bloody well work. I've got a few different (small) hard drives for this one particular PC. It's an 800mhz AMD CPU with something approaching 800mb of RAM. It will run Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Win XP Pro so I decided to try loading the latest Puppy Linux. I love that distro :-) But it simply will not boot from the CD. First thought was maybe it was a bad burn so I did another....nope, still nothing. I tried one of the CD's in another PC and bingo, it fired up beautifully so the download is fine. I'm puzzled about this because other live CD/DVD's work without a hitch. Next step is to try booting with a boot floppy.... I shall report back later :-) but if it doesn't work in this one I'll drage another PC out and use that instead. I am not spending loads of time on it. -- ============================================== Don't take it to the tip recycle it via the Freecycle(r) Network.
