boot disk

Post by Eggz Ackley »

I downloaded iso file at http://www.doubleburgerbar.com/watchdog/ version 1.1 with puppy linux. The CD does not auto boot. How do I get it to auto boot so I can try it?

Not really sure but according to his web site
If you have any questions related to the operating system itself, the Puppy Linux forum is the place to be.
Might be a good place to start.

I have not used puppy myself, but some distros come to a lilo or grub prompt and you just have to press enter to have it continue. Others you have to type "linux" and enter. Maybe it's one of those?

Yes, I did see that in the website. I just tried to take the easiest path like in school. Thanks

Odds aren't bad that your BIOS is set to boot from floppy, hd, then cd. Might want to check the boot order in setup when you turn on the machine.
