Has anyone done this?
What models have been found working
Thank you
How about booting from an mp3 player?
I've tried this in the past without luck (I think there are some posts around about this). Back around 1.0.6 or so. I had troubles.
I think the problem was some type of conflict from the internal mp3 player software starting when the device is plugged in and puppy or syslinux trying to access the device also. This may have changed in more recent versions of puppy since the kernel is different (who knows.).
It might be worth a test. Make sure you BACK UP the mp3 drive using dd first. There are files on there that make it do its thing. If you format it (and don't have a back up), your mp3 player is dead.

I do believe that Mac OS can be booted (on an Apple computer of course) from an iPod, but then again what can't an iPod do? Apple owns Mac, iPod, and the hardware, so it's only logical that that particular mp3 player would work with that particular computer.
Then again, it may just be that the firmware on the mp3 player needs to be more Linux-compatible. Again, the iPod as an example: http://ipodlinux.org/Main_Page

I agree with Glenn Beck. Elmo is definately the antichrist.
