The more I use Puppy, the more I am impressed. It fixes the issues I had with Linux until now - like the problem with setting inital video resoltuion and getting online easily. And it actually is fast and compact. I reminds me of using Mac Classic in the old days, except puppy doesn't crash ...

Yeah, I like these programs that come with puppy, they work, but don't get in the way or try to "help" too much.

I was running progams and got online within 5 minutes of loading puppy.

I also liked the video resolution selection system, much better than other versions of Linux I tried.

Re: Suggestions.

What is MD5 I'll try re-downloading it, and re-burn with other program. What bothers me is I can't figure out where the DOS is getting started, unless it accessed my ...

Is Caldera presently installed on your computer? Caldera is completely unrelated to Puppy, and you should not wind up with any letter drives (A:, E:, etc.) Did you use you CD burning program's "burn CD image" tool? You must do this, rather than burn the iso as a data CD> Puppy was designed to be ...
