   I hope someone can spot my error as I cannot get MACPUP528 to install.  It gets to the 528 screen as shown on Macpup web site with the two options shown, then when I choose either of these I get the message ....

   "Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives.......

   searching deeper in sub-sub directories.......

   MACPUP_528.sfs not found. Dropping out to initialise ramdisk console...../bin/sh: can't access tty...

   Job control turned off" 

   
   

   I notice MACPUP_528.sfs is not on my CD but MACPUP_5.sfs is on the CD. Any help would be appreciated (be gentle as I am no expert)

   Thanks,

   Terry

   Sounds like your download is bad. Do a md5sum check on it ...

   The .sfs will be named macpup_528.sfs    Small letters.

    This needs to be in a different thread on the forum . This one is for issues with the forum .

   Thanks for the reply. I will try the md5sum but I originally tried the program from APC computer magazine DVD then downloaded from macpup web site, both gave same results.

   Further to my query of 25 March I just downloaded Macpup 525 and I got the same error as macpup 528 Can you please advise if my cd disk should have both macpup_528.sfs and macpup_5.fsf. I only get macpup_5.fsf

   Thanks,

   Terry

   The .iso has to be burned as an image.You don't mount or extract it. I prefer using cd-r . Burn it as slow as possible. Make sure what ever software you are using can burn an image.After the disk is finished there will be only one .sfs .

   This is what should be on the cd after you burn it.

   

   Now I am running macpup. Windows and esp Vista don't show linux file names right so it may show macpup_5 . What you may need to do is copy the macpup_528.sfs to a usb drive. Don't put it in a folder just leave it on the top layer. Re name it if you have to. Leave the drive connected and boot with the cd.  it should load off the usb.
