Part 1. Booting to the desktop.
OK then, put your Puppy LiveCD into a drive,
and REBOOT the PC.
It should automatically boot from the puppy LiveCD
If it does not, you may need to press F8 or F11 or similar when the PC
first boots, for the boot menu then select the drive that the CD is in.
The first thing you see will be this:

Use the Up/Down arrows on the keyboard to make your choice then press ENTER/RETURN for OK
Next you will be asked to choose either Xorg or Xvesa, make your choice (try Xorg first, if that fails then use Xvesa):

If you need to use Xvesa use the TAB key to make your selection then press ENTER/RETURN for OK
If you chose Xorg, you then need to select a screen resolution:
Select an appropriate resolution (you made a note earlier i hope) then press ENTER/RETURN for OK
Now test it:
Again, use the TAB key to select Test, then press ENTER/RETURN for OK
If it works, thats good, if it did not, then try with Xvesa
now do the linux three finger shuffle (Ctrl + Alt + Backspace)
If you chose Xvesa you will then see this:

Select an appropriate resolution and click Change
When the desktop comes back up, along with the Xvesa video wizard click OKAY
