Just copy the one you need to the drive you want to boot from containing the Puppy2 files.

I have provided the marker files IDEHD, USBHD and USBFLASH for convenience on the WakePup2 floppy. With a formatted 1.44MB diskette in the floppy drive, do one of the following:ġ) In DOS/Windows, unzip WKPUP202.ZIP in a temp dir and execute MAKEDISK.BATĢ) In Linux, copy WKPUP202.ZIP to a temp dir and execute: Ideal to put on a mini-CD to carry along with a USB flash pen containing Puppy2 and your personal files. I have also made an iso image of WakePup2 for those who have PCs that can boot from CD but not USB. acpi=force Needed to force acpi=on on older PCs acpi=off For older PCs, or use if acpi=on causes problemsģ. acpi=on Default for newer PCs (made 2002 or later)Ģ. If a USB CD-ROM is found, it gets drive letter Z.ġ. If you have two IDE CD-ROM drives (not uncommon today), the first one gets drive letter X, the second Y. I have extended the drive letters that get searched for Puppy2 files to the maximum for those cases where the hard disk(s) has/have many partitions (C through W for IDE/USB drives not including CD-ROM and X through Z for CD-ROM). While fixing the bug, I took the opportunity to improve WakePup2 somewhat. Unfortunately, that early version has a bug in it that prevents the boot option (acpi=on or acpi=off) from working. You can boot it from floppy or, if your laptop supports it, boot from CD.īarry has conveniently put a floppy disk image of WakePup2 in Puppy2alpha-7may06. Useful if you laptop doesn't have USB ports or just to speed up booting if the built-in laptop ports are only USB1. See also WkPup2x v0.2, here, for a special version of WakePup2 that can boot puppy from USB devices attached to a PCMCIA USB2 adapter in your laptop. Except for the drivers, WakePup2 uses only GPL'd software or freeware. WakePup2 is a boot disk using FreeDOS that can boot Puppy2 from built-in hard disk and CD-ROM drives as well as USB hard disk, CD-ROM and flash drives.
