README.HTM















Notice for Windows users

THIS APPLIES TO SOME, NOT ALL, BUILDS OF PUPPY



If you are running Windows, and viewing the contents of this CD, the
filenames will not display correctly. For example, a file named
'puppy_wary_5.1.2.sfs' will display truncated as 'PUPPY_WA.SFS'. That
is, Windows will truncate all long filenames to fit the "8.3" MSDOS
format.



The reason for this is that the CD was created without Joliet
extensions, required for Windows to recognise long filenames. This was
done as I found a problem with running Puppy Linux in "multisession
mode" with Joliet extensions -- don't worry if you don't know what
multisession mode means for now, just take it that I found a conflict
with Puppy Linux and a CD with Joliet extensions enabled.



Normally, you would boot the live-CD on your PC and run Puppy Linux,
and Puppy has tools for installing Puppy to hard drive or Flash drive
if required. So, the above-mentioned problem is not an issue --
however, some users do open the CD from a running Windows and copy out
the files to install Puppy to hard drive or Flash drive.



So, for anyone who wants to copy the files off the CD from a running
Windows, after doing so, please rename the files to their full long
names. Also, change all upper-case characters to lower-case. For
example:


























Truncated filename

Long (correct) filename

PUPPY_CUT2INSERT.SFS

puppy_DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX_DISTRO_VERSION.sfs

ZDRV_CUT3INSERT.SFS

zdrv_DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX_DISTRO_VERSION.sfs
VMLINUZ

vmlinuz

INITRD.GZ

initrd.gz
