Now Puppy will not boot up and I get the message "Boot Error". Can you help? Many thanks, Alex

First I'd download the latest version that has fixes for the 'Bash' security flaw - storm in a teacup IMO, but better safe than sorry

You could burn it to CD, but as you plan to run it from USB, then Rufus or Unetbootin will do that for you straight from the ISO you downloaded

sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/608/

Twitter is something the birds do in the morning, not an activity on my PC or phone

Thank you very much Mikkh. I used rufus and it made a bootable USB in only a few minutes. Interestingly, the printer works on Wi-Fi, but I will have to uncomment Epson in Dll.cof to get the scanner to work on Wi-Fi.
Thanks again. This is better than Windows *!!

mikkh: It was pretty easy with the help of vapes, which I've dabbled with for years but never really stuck to full time - till now. One bad habit for another maybe, but I feel healthier and it's definitely a lot cheaper. Nov 21, 2024 7:45:12 GMT
