Additions:
For a computer to boot from a device such as an optical disc or a flash memory drive the device must be read/accessed //before// any other connected device such as a H.D.D.; therefore when, for example, an optical disc is in the optical disc drive at boot up it will load Puppy Linux from that drive only, and no where else, if the computer has been configured specifically to do that. If the computer does not start/boot from the live D.V.D. it will be necessary to either access a boot menu or the B.I.O.S. so that the computer is instructed to boot from the optical disc drive and not any other drive; re-starting will be necessary in conjunction with using the correct key(s) (see Appendix from [[http://puppylinux.org/wikka/InstallationFullHDD here]]).

Additions:
The downloaded container file must have the extension //.iso//. It is an exact copy, or image, of an existing file system. To ensure that the file is downloaded completely and without corruption use the [[wget]] command, e.g.: %%wget -c /puppy-version-location/puppy-version.iso%%
(If //wget// is not used then one should verify its integrity by verifying its MD5 or SHA checksum). This ISO file may then be written to a blank optical disc using a particular software program. It is by booting up with this disc in the optical disc drive that one can run and use Puppy Linux.
