this thread has some pointers. without knowing much of what you have tried already, I would suggest using a puppy to make more puppies

Ok, I admit that sounds nonsensical, but what I mean is to burn a puppy to a cd if possible and use it to make further installs. puppy tools work better for most than generic linux installers you might have found elsewhere.

GRUB2 is built-in all modern PUPs & DOGs. No install needed.

There are 3 ways to boot a PUP distro.

  1. directly from its ISO file

  2. by extracting and creating a "Frugal" from its ISO file

  3. by extracting and creating a "Full" from its ISO file

Are you looking for boot assistance?
