I've tried Puppy on my last two notebooks since V. 1.03 I think with no success due to video card problems - first with Neomagic and then S3 Savage cards. Simple pup worked for a few months on this Portege but i could not get any later Puppies to work the video card with either Xvesa or Xorg. I've b...

Just to report that the cheap, bog standard generic MICRONET 'ADSL+2 Router' OVERPRICED at Maplins in Britain works fine and fast with Puppy and Tiscali adsl broadband. Both via wired ethernet from one of the 4x ports to my PC. box (all distros I've tried connect easily) and wirelessly to my old not...

I am getting WEP 128 bit encryption with NOP Puppy (3.01) OK. using my Linksys WPC54G-S pcmcia card. I made sure it was not in the slot initially so it was not autoconfigured incorrectly, inserted it following boot, and then picked 'load module' from the menu. Scrolling down the list to pick 'bcm3xx...

Linksys WMP54G (v2) PCI card works well with Puppy 1.07/1.08/1.09 under ndiswrapper I have just finished a full install and setup of NOP pUppy (based on 3.01 I believe) uisng my Linksys WPC54GS speedbooster card. Unlike several other distros (eg. Tinyme,Sam) the Broadcom chip driver supplied in thi...

Puppy 2.11beta with cut down Xorg wont let me boot into any display at all now - error console message only for Xorg, black screen for xvesa alternative. I was used to using simplepup which I believe had most of the Xorg in it and this (LCD Savage S3) display worked fine. I am going to go back to t...

Sure enough, Puppy 2.11 beta, with GZIP file compression boots up fine of my FAT16 hda1 drive.

Sure enough, Puppy 2.11 beta, with GZIP file compression boots up fine of my FAT16 hda1 drive.

I tried booting puppy 2.10 from my FAT16 hard drive using wake2pup2 boot floppy (My PCMCIA CDrom doesn't work; all files copied over to top of C:\ hda1 partition along with the required idehd marker file. All went smoothly as usual until error messages about ''Squashfs''. This has never happened bef...

..in other words, it looks for the text "mouse" or "trackball" in the file /proc/bus/usb/devices and if found, decides a usb mouse is present. So, plugin your usb modem and then open that file in a text editor and see if it has that text in it (as long as there isn't an actual u...

Has anyone out there in Britain with Tiscali broadband had any success with a Sagem Fast broadband modem with a USB connection. I had to use a CD rom installation disc to install this modem in Win98 that this machine normally is used with. I have seen a linux driver on the web for this modem but hav...

Barry, Followed your instructions: (ps/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse - at least I think so -small round plugs with pins for both) Booted without usb broadband modem plugged in with wake2pup2.img floppy off hard disk copied .ISO files. When in Puppy, I plug modem USB back in, exit to console mode prompt ...

will try tonight
many thanks

Barry, Hayden, My "puppyserialdetect" boot problem had nothing to do with keyboard or mouse afterall. I disconnected my 'FAST' DSL broadband modem and it's usb connection and my boot was problem free. looks like this "puppyserialdetect" process mistakes this usb for something els...

I think this is the correct thread for this. Hello Puppy people. I am retrying new Puppys for the first time in 6 months+ after a lengthy layoff when I just used it really on my Toshiba Portege (Simplepup with XFCE to be exact). I am now really keen to get Puppy2.1 seamonkey onto my main PC box whic...

Don't know about the error message but I am pretty sure you need a lot more RAM than 64MB. Try creating a swapfile or ext2 linux swap partition.
(search the forum)I have got puppy1.8 working before on 40MB notebook with these swap additions. You need to give a few more details of hardware setup.

I have hard disk installed Simplepup0,3,1 (Emptycrust1.7+?) successfully onto an ext2 partition hda3. MUT tool shows my DOS hda1, hda2 swap and hda4 temporary linux storage. My usb floppy drive is not there or the cdrom. In ROX, a red 'ERROR' thumbnail exists instead of the usual drive. I can just a...

woohoo! I can answer some of these myself now: 1) Most definitely yes. I just switched it on this evening when I got in, ran through a duplicate exersize of loading the pupget LTmodem driver via pupget manager and rebooted. Blow me if the ttyLT0 button in the modemwizard suddenly decides to report a...

I have Simplepup0.3.1 (based on Puppy 1.7?) successfully hard disk installed onto an ext2 partition on my Toshiba Portege 3440ct notebook. The built-in modem is a Lucent DSP Mars Winmodem which others seem to have found support for without too much trouble in Suse or Redhat and so I assume it is a '...
