[Joeledmund]

i dont know if it is me or the 512Mb Rpi but i cant get puppy to work at all the little green light doen't even turn on but i got wheezy to work 8gb sd , tiny core linux to work 256Mb sd, and fendora to work 4gb sd
i even tried the new alpha 3 and 4 so i dont know what to do

Puppy does work on the 512mb pi but I think there was an issue with the loader of the Alpha4 release. If I remember rightly I had to mount the sd card on a PC and replace the bootcode.bin file with the one from a Raspbian install.

I have it running here and like all the other puppy variants it seems very slick with a good selection of applications .

See http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 54#p242754 for the explanation that new firmware is required for the 512M RPi. The Puppy distributions have an older firmware.

A puppy user has reported success in installing FatdogArm
on new board.

I've got to run FatdogArm on a Raspberry Pi 2 and using Berryboot as bootloader.

It needs testing.
