I have downloaded Puppy. How do I put it on a flash drive?
A friend of mine told me to try Puppy. How do I proceed after downloading it. I would like to put it on a flash drive as I am using an Eee PC with no CD drive but it will boot off of a USB flash drive. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there and welcome to LQ!
If you are using ubuntu, as your little forum-icon thingy suggests (:P) there is a great little utility in System > Administration > USB Startup Disk Creator. Open this up and browse to where your CD image (*.iso) is stored and load that up in the top list box. On the second, select your flash drive which i would recommend to be 1GB or more. Just a warning... the app will wipe completely your flash drive so make a backup or use an old one! To boot on the netbook, i think you may have to go into the bios and change the boot order, or press a key like F11 or F8 to enter the boot selection menu. Sorry to be vague but i dont own one :P If this doesnt work for you, please let me know what went wrong, or shout at me for anything ive missed :) Regards James |
I tried that and the utility stated that "This is not a desktop install CD and thus cannot be used by this application." At least it was polite about it. What do I do, download the ISO again and try a second time?

You can use Unetbootin for creating a live usb, you can either use the iso file that you have downloaded or let Unetbootin do it for you.
check this for more details. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ |
Looks like I have a little reading to do. Thanks. I'll let you know if it comes out right, but it doesn't seem complicated at all.

I'm sorry the ubuntu thingy didnt work for you but i wish you luck with Uetbootin :)
From what i've read its a very nice program indeed. James |
I have Linux enterprise server 5. I need to access my USB. I'm connected remotely.
