[QUOTE="thadolius, post: 1081850, member: 165178"] [b]update on Puppy Linux liveCD on core duo MBP[/b] I tried playing both DVD's (a couple of Disney movies my kids have) & audio CD's (an audio book from the public library) this evening. [While running a liveCD direct boot of Lucid Puppy 5.0 with an external USB mouse on a core duo MBP.] Since Puppy Linux loads into completely into ram, I was able to eject the liveCD & use the CD drive to play the various media. No problems either with the audio book or with the Disney DVD's. They both worked flawlessly. I'll try the same disks with Quirky Puppy 1.1 & Puppy Linux 4.3.1, but anticipate no difference, since they essentially use the same programs. [/QUOTE]
