Yeah, I guess just because my old laptop can boot from an external DVD drive through the USB port doesn't mean it actually has "USB support". As my new computer will boot off all sticks now, but still only when they are chosen. I guess there is a difference in BIOS between "USB port s...

Thanks to all! It seems my logic was flawed and it IS my computer(s) fault. I tried the "disc label" option first. Seemed to work! I set a new Disc label and installed Slitaz with Unetbootin on the SanDisk. Then installed Kubuntu with Unet on the Intenso also with new disc label. 3rdly I i...

Thanks for the quick reply! Well I guess I got lucky with the old one, but how do I make the new ones boot? My old one only has 128 mb and I would like to try some heavier distros besides puppy. My BIOS is already set-up to boot from USB first, then CD-ROM and thirdly from HDD. I don't think there i...

Hello once again my favorite forum! I have a strange problem that I hope someone can point me in the right direction with before wasting even more time (is sitting in front of a computer wasting time?)! I have 4 usb sticks, and have installed puppy 4.1.2 on all of them. All with the same method in P...

This is how I got my Agfa snapscan e40 to work in Sidux AND puppy 4.00. See my first posts for more details : http://sidux.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-12334.html http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=32913 Basically my scanner would only work if I had done a reboot from WinXP! (what a dirty ...

Thanks a million Aitch! I also got help from the Sidux forum: http://sidux.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-12334.html User "Slam" pinpointed it right away, but your link to the Ubuntu forum helped me with the "how to" part. Now my scanner works in Puppy and Sidux (and indeed any Linux I...

Could someone please help me with this strange problem? My Agfa snapscan e50 usually does not work with puppy 4.0. When I start Xsane after it searches for my USB scanner it comes up with "unable to activate snapscan". Strange though, If I have used it with windowsXP and then reboot into P...

Thanks for the great "How to", It worked for me, although I had to try twice (but I'm a beginner, so if I could do it anyone can!). I have a Tablet - Fujitsu Lifebook with Sidux and Puppy 4.00 installed. Better yet, now that the pen works it is now Windows free! 20gb more space for my 2 fa...

Wow ! Thank you all for your great info+help. I'm kind of embarrassed now to say that I fixed it differently than your suggestions. Although I will use them too. I installed ROX. That recognized the pups from the git go and did everything as expected. My original reason to use the pup was because I ...

Thanks for the quick reply and link/package! But still not working. This one really stumps me. When I try to re-install the puphandler I get the message that it is already installed - because it is. Like said; I installed the pup handler with the normal package manager successfully. I've added a cou...

Thanks for the best puplet, NOP has all of my preferences pre-installed for me! Unfortunately I can't get the dotpuphandler to work. I'm not that advanced to where I can just install programs from the command line (although I do have some debian and sidux experience - apt-get works there!) so I need...

Thanks! But I'm not that lucky. Yes the stick has worked with that router on another machine, PC with XP. But Have not tried XP on this one (Fujitsu lifebook). I did what you said (well kind of) although I don't know where to get the security settings. I found the IP adress of the router with cable ...

I think I have missed something when it comes to configuring internet access (I'm not a noob but have no formal computer training -all tribal knowledge here!). Do you have to configure Wlan (wlan0, rausb0 etc.) AND ethernet (eth0) DSL!!!? After several attempts and thinking about installing rt73 dri...

Hello, just got the new puppy 4.0. Great! Love it and connecting is a breeze.....except with wireless! I used connection wizard and roaring penguine to establish DSL connection with cable. Worked flawlessly. Then I inserted my Hama USB wireless (RT73 chip). Connection wizard also recognized it - no ...
