Puppy install "failed" msg
 

Totally clueless, so plz be gentle:
I'm attempting to install 2.17 from cd ISO and get this:
"copying pup_217.sfs to tmpfs_mounting on(/initrd/)/ pup_ro2...failed", I've installed nothing else Linux. It's a win xp pro notebook with lotsa miles.

Have you verified the MD5 of the iso ? It could be a bad burn. Try burning the next iso on the slowest setting available, and make sure you are using the latest version of puppy.

Let us know how it turned out....

thanks Bud, but still having probs
 

I tried it with 3.0 as u suggested, and nothing got the xp "boot-loop" and try as I might, couldn't get windows to start until I used the xp install cd as a boot disk. Any ideas, I remain pupless

how much ram do you have. if it is under 512 mb then create a swap partition for pupy thats what i had to do on a old machine. 3.01 puppy did not work on old laptop to many modules that are no longer in the kernel. does it run from the live disk?
