Hi all. I have a Aircard 320 4g Telstra Modem and am hoping to get it connected with my laptop running Saluki 023. Has anyone had any experience with these? I can connect it to my partners laptop and find out what the software will display in XP if that is any help, tried gtkdialogue with the info I...

this is exactly the distro I want, modern, light stays outa the way with good repositories, thanks very much! with the amount of Laptops likely to end up as landfill with vista being such a dog and XP going out of support, this will be used much here!
thanks again!

Thanks 01micko

I shall do this.

I may be wrong, but whenever Wireless networking works in Puppy, it works when using Frisbee, no other manager works for me, is this me or a universal experience? so any Puppy without Frisbee is not for me it seems as i largely use it on portable devices.

Tested Legacy 2.14X, cannot get 2200 intel wireless working on any model, on both a Dell Inspiron 6000 or a Dell Latitude which was given to me and expected to be dead, but removing the battery revived it , otherwise that's a very good version. Have tried also. wary-5.3 browserlinux501 Ttuxxx_214xRC...

Hi.
Thanks.
Just get "404" from that link.

I have a Pentium M processor 1.8 with 512 ram, some Puppies when browsing cause the unit to thrash and run like a dog!! (full install 512mb swap partition) perhaps it's a case of using a lighter browser? is Aurora available for other distros? I'm using 2.14X now, obviously this thing can support som...

Hi all. Inspiron 6000 eth0 is Intel 2200 module loading ipw2200. Spent some time working on settings in the connection wizard (prefer Frisbee, but not included with this distro) I find through research that the 2200 cards are not well in Linux, I also have a RTL8191S chip USB device made by Comfast ...

I'm hoping a 2.14 Puppy can be revived, with support for XP going soon there should be something like 2.14 relaunched with Support to run those older machines and keep stuff like that from landfill.

Hoping to see this happen!

Alternative to the problematic 2200 Intel WiFi

RTL8191S USB made by Comfast Model CF-300NS, what is the process of getting that recognised and running at start up?

Thanks.
Was the Ziggy problem.

Hi all.

Inspiron 6000 eth0 is Intel 2200 module loading ipw2200.

eth1 works (Wired Ethernet)

Command line gives same, looks connected but no throughput. .

Thanks

Hi all.
Puppy Package manager is not launching.
is this a known bug?
slacko 5.3.3 installed about one year.
Also VLC Stand Alone does not launch.
Cannot set default browser after installing Namoroka, not happy with the dialog box display with this browser.

That Dell 530 420 is at 1.6ghz CPU with 1 gig ram and 160 gig disk, if my google was correct. Perfect for a Puppy box. Can't believe they tried to run Vista on that, it probably performed pretty badly, as you note. If you still have the XP license that would be a great dual boot machine for Puppy a...

Set the Dell up, seriously was quick and took 41 secs for XP to boot and be useful (though thrashing) and 40 secs for Puppy, I had this running on a corp copy of Vista for a short time to see what it ran like, it was terrible, I did not have the time to trim up the OS so it had some ability at all, ...

I should add my post was tongue in cheek, LP (My dog's name) does bark when the unit makes the barking sound, I find that funny and would not change the sound scheme.

If your desktop really looks like this.......you are probably doing something wrong!

Going to make the image available please?

I think I may have to change the sound scheme, my dog has started barking back at my machine.
