I was able to build i8kutils on Slacko 5.5 using instructions on http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.0/system/i8kutils/ I extracted http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.0/system/i8kutils.tar.gz into my-documents and then copied http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/i8kutils/i8kutils_1.33.tar...

This is a really nice distro. It's packed with great programs. I added Citrix, Java, and x2go. This really works great! Thanks to the creator.

Citrix .ICA file association in this forum but for 4.3.1 so it uses .pet and .deb. Might still be useful:

Same deal as above, I got it working with these packages: PyGTK from forum: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=36092&sid=a0b5f1d1c989fb2b0ea807f36af2334e File links: http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/pygobject-2.14.1.pet http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/big_bass/pycairo-1.4.12.pet ...

I haven't used Bluetooth Dial-up Networking on Puppy Linux before. First I installed these packages. I did the "hcitool scan" with my phone in discovery mode. Then "sdptool search dun" and made appropriate changes to /usr/etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf. Then "rfcomm connect 0&quo...

I edited the 20_memtest86+ in /etc/grub.d/, made appropriate changes, saved as 20_pup431, then chmod +x to make it executable. I created a puppy431 directory at the root of the ext3 filesystem where Ubuntu 9.10 is installed. I edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg to see what my set root=(HDx,y) line would be ...

This worked great on puppy 4.31 but seemed to have a workspace layering issue with some citrix servers. I'm guessing it was related to the citrix profile itself, as far as color depth or seamless. At any rate, all I would see was a momentary window and then it would turn grey. Changing workspaces fi...

Sorry but I was quite vague on my initial post. It is accurate if you have a problem computer that only supports APM. For me this was an Inspiron 7000 laptop. Dell simply did not release an ACPI bios for it. I tried almost every conceivable ACPI and APM option on the kernel boot line of /boot/grub/m...

Racked my brains on this one. Finally found the key to the answer here: http://www.rigacci.org/docs/biblio/online/debian_survival/APM_Power.html Essentially some older APM based machines won't power off if they don't have the apm=power-off kernel option. As that web page states, the kernel option on...

Hey tempestuous, I got my ZCOM 1630:0005 wireless adapter working in Ubuntu Jaunty with your help (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=707972 ). Eventually I setup Puppy 4.2.1 with the development environment on a bootable USB stick. This way I could compile the kernel drivers using a faste...

Thank you so much Tempestuous for building p54usb-ZCOM-k2.6.25.16.pet . It definitely initialized the usb adapter and gave me a wlan0 interface. Unfortunately it had problems with the host usb controller on my test machines whenever I tried to scan for wireless networks. I will derive lsusb -vvv and...

I picked up an older 2WIRE and Qwest branded USB wireless adapter. Through research and the use of a screwdriver I have this information. FCC ID: M4Y-XG702B Manufacturer: ZCOM (ZCOMAX) Chipset: Intersil, Controller NET2280, Wireless ISL3886 (PRISM Duette) Vendor ID: 1630 Device ID: 0005 (1630:0005) ...

My P133 64MB laptop doesn't work well with Puppy 4.2 so I'm using 3.01. This is the error message for Puppy Linux version 3: ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. ./opera: line 363...

I have two laptops that do not support USB booting of any kind except maybe Floppy. Following the Puppy 4.2.1 wizards I installed Puppy to a 2GB flash drive using mbrfat.bin as the boot code with a single EXT3 partition marked active. I downloaded and installed PLoP bootmanager from http://www.plop....
