you see, i downloaded the puppy linux because i was following your posts and conversation here... and then when i tried booting it, it did something weird a little bit into it... it tells you to select one of two options... x(something) or x(something) well, one of them didnt work and the other did. when i try to load it into my RAM however it goes to a black scren with this little scratchy blue line somewhere in the top half of the screen and freezes... any suggestions?
I'm sorry, but I can't make any specific suggestions - I haven't experienced that.
Can you post again here, and give lots of details about your computer's hardware?
Especially the amount of ram.
Then when somebody else comes along that knows more than I do, they will already have that info. They'll need it.
btw, when i ran Memtest, i came up with an error.
This does not sound good.
You might want to start a new thread of your own, maybe in the Hardware forum, and ask about this. How to interpret it and what to do about it.
Again, give lots of details about your system and the test.
