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.
