I burned a new CD, booted of it and then installed puppy fresh to USB drive. Now, it works fine. Thanks.

I got the original file, md5sum was verified to be ok. Then mounted it and copied all files to the USB drive. However, when I try to boot from USB, it says OS not found.

zq140014.sfs is only 1.5MB approx. on USB however, in live cd it is more like 32MB. Trying to copy it failed.

Look in the folder /lib/modules/2.6.31.14/kernel/drivers/net for the file e100.ko When I load regular, the dir net and e100.ko are there. However, when I load puppy from USB, then entire net dir is missing. I created one and then tried to copy the e100.ko file, then tried modprobe e100, didn't help...

I just made a Quirky 1.4 flash drive and the e100 module was there.

I think so but it has been a long time. How can this be verified ? Also, how can I verify that the e100 modules are in the CD and also in the flash drive ?

Code: Select all

depmod -a
modprobe e100

Tried this,

depmod -a
didn't give any error messages so seemed to have worked.
modprobe e100 failed saying unable to find module.

I had same issue installing on a netbook abour two years ago, had to install drivers for that also: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=61970 That's a different issue. In that situation, your Puppy version was missing a kernel module. Here, Quirky 1.4 definitely has the e100 module. Ty...

Tried this thrice already, has not helped.

So I don't know why your USB install would be a problem.

I tried #modprobe e100
on the USB install. It gave fatal error, module not found.

Will try this and see what happens.

The OS on USB doesn't detect the NIC. This is even when I go to internet setup. Also tried ifconfig, it doesn't give any info. for eth0 Puppy Hardware info. also doesn't list eth0 when this is being run from USB. This is under network, interfaces. However, it is ok when run from live CD. (The live c...

Presently, I am running the same OS from CD and it works ok. This was setup several years ago. I got above info. from running the live CD os.

Now, I wish to install the same on a USB drive. eth0 drivers needed for this.

I got the PET drivers for this long time ago. Don't remember the exact location of the driver.

This solved the issue. The petget-411 was also removed. Thanks a Lot.

How can I Install the latest version of Puppy Package Manager ? This must solve my issue. I looked under the packages for Lucid/Woof and am unable to find this package. I am using Quirky 1.4, This is based on Wary 5. I looked here and am unable to identify the package manager here: http://distro.ibi...

I solved this partially. Now I installed petget-420-v3
After this install, I am able to uninstall packages, except pupget-411

What is the latest Puppy Package Manager file called ? Is there a PET for it ? Maybe if I install this one, then my issue will be solved.

It will be helpful if there was a program for puppy linux to open .rar archives/files. Presently, I need to use windows to do this.
