Which Slacko 5.3 file do I download; how to burn it to a CD?

#1 Post by jbander »

I want to burn a puppy 5.3 cd, what program should I use to burn it, also when I go to the 5.3 download page there is 11 files or is there one encompassing the whole iso or do I have to download all 11 files? Do I download it to my hard drive first .I'm working off of puppy 4.2 on a thumb drive Is their a sight that gives me 5.3 with being checked for credibility as it goes. Thanks any help will be appreciated

Ah, if he doesn't have a working Puppy CD he won't be able to use Burniso2cd. :?
Jbander, Puppy works well from CD-RW and DVD-RW too. Use one of those if you can, at least until you get the hang of burning a Puppy CD or DVD. Look through the How To section for instructions and advice on how to burn a Puppy CD from Windows. If you can't find anything, just ask. :)

:D Hello,
He is running 4.2 Flash, or else Id have recommended Burncdcc for Windows..
Also, I didnt direct link the files, because on that page are the md5sums to verify the downloads..
