I am happily running Puppy 2.01 on my main computer. Waw, it really is awesome! It makes the Win2000pro partition suddenly look like an old and tired dog, definitely on its way to the grave!
Now I am trying to get Puppy running on a mini-computer I built. A Penguin Box or Puppy Machine with a Compact Flash Card instead of a harddisk.
I copied the ISO-cd to the CF-card on the big tower and then plugged the CF into the IDE-adapter of the mini. The CF is new and formatted, FAT32.
After firing up the little box, I get a message like: "Disk Error, hit any key to try again"
I suppose I must be doing something wrong. I searched in the forum and wiki, but didn't find an answer.
Any help would be much appreciated, as I am eager to get the small, silent low power box running!

I've tried using Puppy universal installer
But I get the same error, press any key to reboot.
It works fine if I use a hard drive and choose Hard drive install from Puppy Universal installer.
Any help?
Cheers
