Hi all, Thought I would give 7.0.3 a go, had lots of problems with 7.0.1. After initial problems with set up boxes not being correctly displayed or titled I got 7.0.3 set up and installed on a USB dongle. However I am unable to get my Huawei E1750 USB modem to work. I tried both inserting the dongle...

Hi all, Is anybody else having problems getting on line with Three using one of their dongles. Service over the last month or so has been very patchy, sometimes no bother to not being able to get on line at all. Last night was the worst, Wvdial would make the connection only for the connection to be...

Hi all,

Well neither the ATAHD file trick nor an Universal frugal install (twice) worked, all gave the same error message of:

"puppy_wary_5.3.sfs not found".

Have reverted back to Wary 5.2.2.

Ho Hum

Hi All, Did a manual update to a frugal install on the hard disc, deleted the save file so there would be no conflicts, edited the boot.lst file, shut down and booted into Wary 5.3, result, "Searching for Puppy Files ... puppy_wary_5.3.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial ramdisc console . . ...

Hi All @jermimah Your first question has already been answered by Geoffery. Re Pupdial, I think this is a red herring. I remember on the install of 017 I tried to be more systematic and did a shut down at the start to create the safe file. Previously I probably set up my modem and pupdial before cre...

Hi All, @ jermimah Jermimah said " I don't see GB as an option". After the first run window, another window come up where I select en_GB. Re pupdial I hear what you say about gnome-ppp, What I was trying to highlight is that this is the first luki that I have had difficulty getting on line...

Hi All, Had difficulty getting on line with luki-17. I use an Huawei E169G in a Samsung X05 laptop. I had made a fresh manual install on a USB memory dongle. Booted up from the dongle and did the usual set up and shut down to make a save file. Booted up again but this time with the E169G inserted. B...

Hi All @Lobster Is it the old permissions problem identified by Shinobar well over a year ago? Have you tried to run bootflash from the console? If it fails to run do as Shinobar says, change the permissions of /tmp by typing in the console: chmod -R 1777 /tmp and then try again with bootcamp. Cheers

Hi All I use an 3G USB modem so I need to go to the menu for pupdial, and I've installed Terryphi's Opera sfs so again I go to the menu for that. I have used the console and home desktop icons but it would not be a big deal to again go to the menu for these, so a clear desktop would be O.K. with me....

Hi All,

@aarf

I can confirm smokey01's finding, an 40MB iso after using the 007___008 delta file.
Awaiting the next delta file.

Cheers

Hi All,

@aarf
I've downloaded your 005___006 delta file and used it to make an 006 iso image.
All went as it should and 006 booted up.
Thank you for your efforts, it helps me eek out my 1GB monthly download allowance.
Thanks again.
Cheers

Hi all,
Thank you for your prompt action Jermimah.
I should have been more specific, however, I had just downloaded the 005 iso and you were posting about the next iso, I panicked hence my post. I was thinking about future isos.
Very Sorry.
Thanks again.

Hi all,

Jermimah, are you going to post delta files?
You are getting up a head of steam now, and delta files would help us to keep up.
Keep up the interesting work.

Cheers

Hi all, Has anybody else noticed that in regular use external USB 3G modems now take appreciably longer to prepare themselves than in previous puppies? Since 5.1.103, I think, the initial set up of an USB 3G modem has been easier, you only need to tick the "external modem" box when running...

Hi all, Downloaded Racy 5.1.99 to try on the old Samsung X05. Did a manual update of a USB dongle, i.e. swapped over the three files, shut down and then booted from the dongle. Racy failed to boot with a message saying something like " Not a pae enabled processor please use a different version ...

Hi all, Has anybody had success with the delta files. I downloaded the 5.1.2__5.1.3delta file from ibiblio from Barry's blog link and tried to build an iso using Xdiff Manager. Something I have successfully done numerous times before. A window came up saying the iso had been built, but it was tellin...

Hi all, This is my second attempt at this post, tried last night but the upload failed. @bigpup I concur with your comment re frugal updates. I tried an update of a frugal 511 install on my old Dell Latitude LS to 520. Did a pfix=ram boot, copied over the new files from 520 and edited the menu,lst f...

Hi all, @pakt' It is common for 3G modems to require to be used under Windows first, I think it is to facilitate registration of the modem by the the ISP. After the modem has been registered with the ISP then they can usually be used under Linux. When I use my Huawei E169G modem, I keep the PupDial ...

Hi all,
@pakt
Have you ticked the stupid mode box in Pupdial?
Cheers

Hi all,
@01micko
Please check the URL you posted for the delta file on page 167, I think there should be a stuff in place of the second micko01.
