Re: boot puppy linux from flash drive
FDD = floppy disk drive
looking like its not an optioin, may want to research this, but a buddy of mine had a CD that he had that would somehow force boot to a USB drive. I dono what it was but its a start for ya.... seen it first hand... good luck.... also why not just run it from a CD? |

Re: boot puppy linux from flash drive
as taylorsnow stated, FDD is your floppy drive, with puppy you can create a boot floppy that will direct your bios to look to the usb for the bootable operating system.
also, you could try enabling anything referring to usb in your bios setup, on my bios, i can boot from usb, but the flash drive is recognized as a second floppy device! sometimes your usb may be regarded as a zip drive, it is a matter of trial and error.
