Hi guys, I had a quick question - I'm working as an Intern at this company and they want me to verify that the disk has really been wiped on a few computers so they have proof it was working. Is there something in puppy or in linux I could use to check the sectors and see if the drive is "clean...

Hey guys...I ended up breaking my little lappy while trying to install a soild state drive. Whoops! Anyway, was scrounging ebay for replacements when I found out about the EEE PC by Asus(coming out soon). Wow! Very cheap, 200 dollars or so, a competitor to the OLPC project. And it has flash memory -...

I work at a chocolate/coffee shop and my boss expressed interest in putting out an older computer for those without laptops to browse while drinking coffee. I told him I could set up Puppy for him and he seemed excited! One problem though - I need to get some sort of "gadget" (as he calls ...

Yes I said on my previous post that it showed up on lsmod...I guess its not compatible Thanks for the help anyway. Would have been good to include in zdrv.

tempestuous, I am pretty sure I did all that, and I also checked ifconfig -a as well as the network wizard. I was trying to do stuff like ifconfig eth0 up too but it said that it couldn't find the interface. The only thing I maybe did not do was put the module in that exact place. I wasn't sure wher...

Wasnt sure what folder to put it in, so I put it in a bunch of folders and kept trying to reboot...when that didnt work I did depmod -a and then it finally saw the dm9601 module. I tried modprobing it but still no interfaces are coming up. Is there something I'm doing wrong? The readme file is old a...

Wait! I think I found a driver for the 2.6 Kernel after looking for the chipset of the device:

http://www.davicom.com.tw/big5/download ... 01-2.6.tgz

Can anyone compile that for me?

I am pretty sure not but let me get back to you on that.

Actually the new version is not even called GAIM it is called Pidgin, it's much sleeker...it should be included in the next puppy hopefully, if not please consider adding it!

Hi, thanks for your reply. I tried modprobe usbnet and then modprobe asix (as well as keying them into network wizard) as I saw in other posts but no new network interfaces showed up in network wizard. If the entry in the Usbview program is red, does that mean the unit is malfunctioning? It does &qu...

Hi guys. I recently bought a cheapo usb LAN dongle knowing very well that it may not work on Linux. I tried Ndiswrapper and it loaded but gave some errors similar to this (http://www.computerhope.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1167529650). However I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a Li...

Wine 0.9.22 is out. Has anyone done any work on it?

Any updates on this sfs?

violetdream, No, sorry, I won't be updating these drivers. As I mentioned in an earlier post on July 29 in this thread, they remain useful as a reference for people who compile their own drives in the future. By unzipping these dotpups, you can often find extra firmware files and utilities not incl...

Once you work out the issues, please post an sfs for us to try out

Are these packages going to be updated for pup 2.10, or should I wait for another version?

Is RutilT going to be included in 2.10? (not sure if this is the right place to post, forgive me) I think several people wanted it included..

Well, I don't think the registry is completely broken, because I've installed and run a program semi-successfully which requires correct registry entries. I just found a link where an Ubuntu user is having similar problems with all versions of wine since 0.9.17, just like we have! http://www.forbidd...

Actually I was typing it in from the screen since I didn't have an internet connection on my Puppy PC at the time. I did see that you solved it - good for you. Installing the drive_c dotpup or going through the debugger once it asks you both seem like solutions for now. Are people having any trouble...
