dagwoood Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 mark2, thanks for the link :)I had read somewhere recently that there was now a Live CD version that saves data to the CD, but I couldn't find where I'd read it :blush:I've downloaded the Puppy multi session version and put it on a CD, I just can't seem to get any graphics h/w acceleration :confused: I'm new to Linux(and computing in general)and don't know where to look to correct this. I've started a thread on the Puppy support forum to see if anyone can help.Thanks again, dagwoood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
