--- Comment #278 from Christopher <laserhawk64 at gmail.com> ---
Pardon me for not mentioning it sooner -- but rcrsn51 -- who made that HowTo --
has also made one for a utility of his, called "ISOBooter".

That HowTo is here, you will probably need actual bash to run it (IIRC Ubuntu
defaults to dash, which is of course different) --
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67235

My humblest apologies for not being more active lately, I'm still trying to get
that script working, and -- aside from that -- I've been struggling with some
IRL stuff, plus my mother's birthday is in less than a week!

Worth noting, though -- my most recent attempt was using a USB flash drive... I
seem to recall stating that fairly clearly, although I could be wrong as I have
not looked back through the comments to check. I can't imagine what the
difference would be to the OS... a filesystem is a filesystem is a filesystem
-- or so I'd think...

Also, again, Precise 5.7.1 is KNOWN WORKING prior to this issue being raised --
as it has an older (pre-0.3.x) version of openchrome. The problems do not start
until TahrPup / Ubuntu Trusty Tahr 14.04. I have independently verified,
through accident in fact, that this is true of at least two Ubuntu derivatives
-- Linux Mint "Rosa" will bring up a desktop using the "vesa" driver, but as
left-click crashes and restarts the WM, it's not functional. Linux Lite won't
even bring up a desktop; it crashes similar to TahrPup -- black screen, no text
-- but I couldn't extract enough useful information out of them to do anything
meaningful; their devs don't care to mingle with the common folk (sadly) which
means a lot of people are stranded without real answers. The best advice I got
was "use this version that's more than one major revision behind" which is,
when you think about it, a little daft.

I'll retest --again, from flash drive-- later, but I really don't see that
being much of a difference from the SD card. Which I still have to order a
replacement of... ugh...
