Ok, so this is for reference purposes, for others reading this post. OpenVPN is available for install in BionicPup64. I installed that, and it was possible to get it going after I went through the info on ExpressVPN's homepage about manual setup. Besides downloading a config file for the specific co...

Have you've signed up for a plan or is this a supposition? https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/manual-config-for-linux-with-openvpn/#download I am already signed up for a plan. Whether I can use Gpptp is a supposition. Alternatively, ExpressVPN has .deb installers, I just don’t know if the...

Trying to figure out a way to get ExpressVPN to work with BionicPup64. I assume the prefered way is to use Gpptp VPN, however I am completely clueless as to how to configure Gpptp VPN so that it will work.

Hallelujah! :)) Thanks for your consistent help. I lost my reply. Forum soft BLOWS! Wow. Anyway, yeah -- gotta make a profile before using one. I have two, but I seem to be having difficulty getting one to load as default at boot. The profile has to be activated manually every boot and auto dhcp in...

OK. Here is the output:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4359]

BTW, I think my edit and your post crossed. Please view the end of my last post. Is that expected behavior to have to reconfigure after reboot / shutdown?

You mean this original? https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Skami_Driver_Repo/broadcom_sta-6.30.223.271_[b]k4.1.11[/b]_amd64-5.pet Kernel drivers are SPECIFIC. Skami I'm sure simply forgot to include the 64 bit after amd. https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Skami_Driver_Repo/broadcom_sta-...

:D Do I know you? Hehe :) OK, this is really getting to be a pain. I installed the original broadcom_sta .pet package with pkg, so I ran pkg remove, to remove the package and everything was hunky dory. Rebooted and tried to install the package that I just downloaded by clicking on it. The Puppy Pac...

Yesterday , I was trying to get my Broadcom wireless card to work with Slacko64 6.3.2, with no solution. Today, I am trying to solve the same problem with BionicPup64 8.0, as advised. I have downloaded and installed the latest broadcom_sta with pkg. It reported that the .pet package had been instal...

Hmmm. Still nothing at all after having tried your suggestions. I am going to give BionicPup64 a try, as you suggested, as I want to give Puppy Linux a complete going through now. Thanks for your help, and for your suggestion about Absolute Linux. I suppose, if at some point I decide to go through w...

Your pkg appears quite specialized, so specialized in fact that the notion of running "middle-man" Slacko in place of the real deal seems the weakest link in your chain of thought. Aside from sharing a similar packaging scheme, comparing Slacko and Slackware, well, you know, you may as we...

Yes, it is unfortunate that Slacko is so dated. I originally had a plan specifically Slacko related. I was going to try and see if there was a way to get Studioware working in Slacko. The idea was to be able to piggyback on Studioware and gather a group to create and maintain a multimedia version of...

*State right up front whether "uname -r" returned 4.1.11. Yes? Continue... == Now if Network Wizard can't find it, close out, "modprobe wl" in a terminal, then reload NW. Unless somebody requires blacklisting, it should work. Should it not, dump "lsmod" and supply a ne...

Thanks for the that and the quick reply. Unfortunately, I can't find the module when trying to configure my wireless connection. I am sure that it was installed.

I assume I need broadcom-sta to get my wireless card to work, but I don't understand references in the forum to other pups or how that will me get the proper driver installed to get the wireless card working. I have been on the forum for awhile, but this is the first time that I have installed a pup...

Yes, I do.

I haven't used the forum in a looong time, but still fascinated with Puppy. I couldn't remember my password and as the subject states, none of the retrieval mechanisms work for using original user. Luckily, I found my original password, as I wouldn't have been able to use my original user, which is ...

Cheers Jemimah. The instructions for booting from a USB pen drive worked fine. However, there seem to be some problems with both the old and the new network wizards. I am unable to fill any of the fields in the new wizard, while the old wizard seems to forget the connection or something. Auto config...

I liked what I saw running the newest Puppy version in VirtualBox and had the opportunity to buy an EEE PC 701 on the cheap. Now the question is how to install.Puppy and whether to use Puppy, MacPuppy or Puppeee. 1) I would like to get as close as possible to a full desktop experience without the bl...

Thanks for the tip, it worked just fine. However, I kept plugging away at my problem as well. I found a couple of possible issues that newbies aren't aware of: 1) The "frugal" install doesn't play nice with VirtualBox. When installing the files default into a "puppy431" folder/di...

Hi,. Maybe I wasn't clear. That is what I did, but Puppy wouldn't boot from the virtual drive.
