Can Puppy boot from DVD-RAM?
Can Puppy boot from DVD-RAM?
I am planning to try out puppylinux soon... but can it boot from DVD-RAM, and work fine with DVD-RAM? This is the only disc I have. It is single-layer, 4.7GB, rewritable, 2~3x speed. UDF.
EDIT: Just found the correct forum for this question... I think, sorry if this is the wrong section.

In additional software, not long ago, you will see a thread on UDF.
When looking with the puppysearch link in my sig, you'll find more.

You didn't read the material on UDF, otherwise you would know how about in Puppy.

Considering you made posts regarding udftools and other UDF-related subjects, you should know the answer without sending me looking at posts. From what I have seen udftools may be required, but considering people had problems, I don't believe it will work smoothly. Just making a small explanation is all it takes.

By reading material you learn and get wiser.
Not the case when just the answer is given.

if your DVD-Writer supports DVD-RAM do not worry about UDF etc.
Do the following:
1. download puppy.iso
2. get the puppy.iso on the DVD-RAM using konsole with command
dd if=puppy.iso of=/dev/sr0 (if this is your DVD-RAM writer
3.Boot from this DVD-RAM- should work without any problem.When shutting down puppy, you will be asked whether to save the changes to CD/DVD: choose this option and the changes will be written to the DVD and read from it upon reboot.
IMPORTANT: as I told you in my previous post: your writer must support DVD-RAM-writing. Reading from DVD-RAM is also possible from devices which are not able to write to this kind of rewritable disk.
