[url=http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-xenial/64/]http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-xenial/64/[/url]
I downloaded "xenialpup64-7.5-uefi.iso" and burnt it to an SD card. I booted my PC from the SD card and got the following:[attach]8838896[/attach]

However, "puppy_xenialpup64_7.5.sfs" is definitely on the SD card.
Can anyone help?

xenialpup64-7.5-uefi.iso

ISO  file  is  just  only  for  CD or DVD ,
Not  for  SD  or  HDD / SSD.

So  you  must  use  any  software ( Like Nero Burner )
to  burn  it  directly  as  a  Bootable  CD or DVD.

After  running  the  Xenialpup  and  you  can  save  it  into  your
HDD  or  USB  as  an  updated  image  sfs  file.

But  if  you  want  to  install  it  into  your  SD  or  USB ,  then  use
Built in Tool  from  Xenialpup   THE  INSTALL   etc.

1.  download  the  above  mentioned  file   XXXXXXXX.iso
2.  use  your  windows  platform , run  the  Burner  like  Nero Burning Rom etc
3.  burn  it  as  a  Puppy Linux Live CD
4.  use  this  Live  CD  boot  up  your  PC
5.  click  the  desktop  icon  of                 install
6.  insert  your  usb  stick  into  your  pc  
7.  let  the  applet  of             install     to  install  the  Puppy Linux  
8.  insert  the  above  usb  stick  into  your  pc  and  boot  it  up
9.  any  new  updated  settings  or  applets  installed  it  will  refreshed  for  next  time
10.  Puppy  Linux  can  re Mastering  for  making  a  new  Live  CD  for  your  own.

我的至愛並非電腦,雖然我曾組裝過很多台電腦。
我喜愛音樂多於ー切,它不會隨自己年齡而消逝,但卻能永遠留在我心中。

Do you mean after the PC boots from the Xenialpup DVD, I can copy "puppy_xenialpup64_7.5.sfs" from the DVD and paste it to a USB drive? What is the path to the .sfs file?

[b][color=Blue]after the PC boots from the Xenialpup DVD[/color][/b]
then use the Tool named " Install "  to
install  ( remember  it  is  install  NOT  as  you
think  so  simple  COPY  those  files  into  your
SD  Card ).
You  can  read  my  own  hand  writing  note  .

the same SD card
SO I know now , your SD Card was already installed  another
version of Linux. So it was bootable.
But..but..
to run Puppy Linux  it  needed  :
XXXXXXXXX.sfs
initrd.gz
vmlinuz

files
YOU BETTER USE ANOTHER SD CARD TO INSTALL PUPPY LINUX ON IT AGAIN.

You got me wrong.
A few months ago, I booted my PC from the Linux Mint Live SD card and then installed Mint on a USB HDD.
Yesterday, I burnt "xenialpup64-7.5-uefi.iso" to the same SD card. During the burning process, all the original Mint files were erased.

since  you  downloaded  the  file  of  XXXXXXXXXX.iso
so  at  the  very  first  moment  ,  you  should  use
cd/dvd  writer  and  buner  software  to  open  this  
xxxxxxxxxx.iso  file  and  burn  a  Live  CD.
The  above  procedure   is  basically  what  you  have
to  do  first.
Remember  there  are  2  ways  to  run  Puppy Linux  on  SD  Card.
1.  Using  Installed  Puppy Linux  Type . (  made  by  own  Live CD
tool  of  "  install "  )
2.  Using  GRUB4DOS  ,  to  run  XXXXXXXXXXXX.sfs  file  and  others
like  initrd.gz  ,  vmlinuz  etc.  Once  it  was  booted  ,  will  extract  
the  image  file  of  XXXXXXXXXX.sfs  to  pc  RAM.

To  get  the  XXXXXXXXXXX.sfs  image  file ,  run  Live  CD  and  during  
shut  down  moment  select  save  mode ,  then  it  will  create  an  image
file  of  XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.sfs .

I successfully installed Puppy on a USB drive. The language pack "cnpack_half-4xx-20100606" could not be installed, while "gcin-1.4.4" was installed successfully. However, no Chinese characters could be displayed. What can I do?

[url=https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3JT5wPD3E-aUDIwdHE3YW9hajA]https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3JT5wPD3E-aUDIwdHE3YW9hajA[/url]
I am now downloading the language pack above. Its size is 2.0 GB. Why is it so big?

the  file  name  should  be  :  cnpack_half-4xx-20100606.pet

your  windows  setting  should  open  as   enable  to
read  hidden  file  and  file  extension  name.
回  12#
the  Link  is  really  not  working .
dont  trust  it.

In my post #11, when I wrote "cnpack_half-4xx-20100606", I actually meant "cnpack_half-4xx-20100606.pet", which could not be installed on Xenialpup 7.5 64-bit on the USB drive.

I successfully installed gcin-1.4.4.pet, xenial-7.0.4csip201804-zhhk-16.0.1.pet, xenial-7.0.8.1-zhhk-16.0.1.pet, xenial-7.0.8.6-zhhk-16.0.1.pet, xenial-7.5-zhhk-16.0.1.pet, xenial64-7.0.8.1-zhhk-16.1.0.pet, xenial64-7.0.8.6-zhhk-16.1.0.pet, xenial64-7.5-zhhk-16.1.0.pet, xenialcsip-7.0.4-zhhk-16.0.1.pet, xenialpup-7.0.3-zhhk-16.0.0.pet, and xenial-rt.7.5-zhhk-16.0.1.pet.
However, no Chinese characters could be displayed. Perhaps I should give up.

http://www.minilinux.net/node/2484

Can you simply tell me which version of Puppy and which language pack I should install, so that Chinese characters can be displayed?

睇嚟呢個版本重未完善。
你用 uBuntu 頂住先啦 !

Thanks. I have installed Lubuntu, on which Chinese characters can be displayed, and a PPPoE connection can be set up.

oxim-1.2.2.pet
locale_zh_TW-Big5.pet
ukai-ttc-0.2.pet
uming-ttc-0.2.pet

chinese_pack_total-4.1.0.8-tw-wqy-4.pet
gcin-1.4.5.pet

Why should I use Puppy if I cannot access the Internet on it?

You should  use  your  ADSL  Modem  connect  by  LAN
CABLE  to  your  Router ( with wifi out  and  also  LAN
CABLE  out ) . So  to  build  up  your  Network  in  House.
Then  all  your  Mobile  Phones  and  PC  can  use  wireless
connection  to  internet.
If you dont have Router in house , you are outdated.

I have a router, but my motherboard does not support wireless connection.

I just found the following tutorial:
[url=http://openlab.jp/puppylinux/man-jp/manual/puppy214/5_setup_internet.html]http://openlab.jp/puppylinux/man-jp/manual/puppy214/5_setup_internet.html[/url]
Scroll down to: [color=Red]Start the program "Menu | Network | Roaring Penguin PPPoE ADSL"[/color].

Puppy seems to support PPPoE.

I will install Puppy on a USB drive. Which file system should I format it to, FAT, FAT32, NTFS, or EXT4? 

[b][size=4][color=Blue]I have a router, but my motherboard does not support wireless connection.[/color][/size][/b]

Normally , Router  in house  for  using  should  be
wired  ( LAN ) and wireless ( wifi ).
My  Router  was  brought  in  Aug  this  year ,
about  $500.-  quite  good .

I will install Puppy on a USB drive. Which file system should I format it to, FAT, FAT32, NTFS, or EXT4?

There  are  2  ways  to  install  Puppy  on  a  USB  Stick .
1. Run  Puppy Live CD  own  tool  to  install  on  USB.
    You  dont  have  to  do  any  format. Its  EXT  format .
2. Use  third  Parties  to  format  your  USB  as  bootable ,
    by  FAT32.  Use GRUB  for Boot up ,
Copy  those  files  of  Puppy  like  xxx.sfs
    and other files.
Remark :  Since  2009 I  started  to  learn  it ,  thereafter
I  stopped  it  totally  after  few  years.
Now a day I  nearly  forgot  it. Those  scanned  pic  were
my  own  hand  writing  pages.

Summary :
1.For install Puppy on USB by Puppy Live CD
Format  as  EXT2 , SWAP
2.For install Ubuntu on USB by Ubuntu Live CD
Format as FAT32 , EXT3 , SWAP
3.For install Puppy on USB by copy puppy image
file  ( xxx.sfs ) and  the  other files , using GRUB
for Boot , format  the  USB  as  FAT32 .
I  learn  and  studied  Linux  is  just  for  Fun , my
own profession  is  Electrical  and Mechanical  
Engineering  for  Marine  Service.
Mostly  we  are  using  windows  XP  or  7 .
Never ever  use  win 10 .
Suggest  you  to  buy  a  2nd  hand  Note Book  PC
from  ebay.com .  Lenovo  T430s  just  only  HKD2000.-
including  shipping. So  you  can  do  more  on  Linux  
works  by  pc.

I had downloaded Puppy 4.1.2 and burned it to a DVD, but it could not be installed on a USB stick because it could not detect any of my USB devices.

I have given up. Thanks for your help anyway.
