The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

Very nice. Does anyone know where I can find a comprehensive list of boot codes for Puppy? I know there are a lot more than just three.

Note for the boot parameters either use all upercase or all lower case. When in doubt about the case follow the examples/documentation that you can find.

s243a,
Very good information.
Thanks for all those links.
I will add a link to your post in the first post and add boot options to title of topic.

We need to publish this reference card on the Puppy Linux website - but it should perhaps be an .html rather than a .doc?

I think the Woof-CE code to look at for boot codes (@gyrog probably knows better...) is:

https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... t-bootmenu

& https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... README.txt

this github search may also provide clues/pointers:
