I downloaded Macpup Foxy 3 today and burnt it to a CD. When I tried booting it, a message briefly flashes across the screen. After a few reboots I think I've worked out that it's telling me that IBM/MS INT 13h extensions aren't present and GRUB can't be loaded. After that, it goes to where I choose to run in RAM or not. Once I choose, the computer just reboots. Any suggestions on what to do?

MemberIf you made it to the boot screen that looks like this :

If you got there the grub loader on the cd is loaded ,If it wont boot the pup-430.sfs after that I think your download is bad . I suggest downloaded it again ,burn the .iso as an image and try again. If you still have trouble after that I will help you work around it.

MemberYup, it took me that far. I followed your advice and the same thing happened again. Then I thought I might try downloading from the other mirror, as I had used mirror 1 the other two times. When using the copy I got from mirror 2, the error popped up again, but I was able to boot this time. I now have Macpup installed on a USB flash drive. I always liked Puppy, but didn't like that it came with icons all over the desktop by default. I really like the clean look of Macpup. I wonder what happened before. Maybe a bad connection to mirror 1? Oh well, it works now.
