Puppy plus Chrome could well be the ultimate combination for many many people.

OTOH, a hypervisor plus Chrome may well do away with the need for any OS if the user just needs to run some web apps.

Gates picked a good time to retire....!

so with that in mind, how to debug this?

i am able to mount the zdrv collection via Rox, no problem. I see the module ieee80211_crypt_wep-rtl.ko in there. its in /lib/modles/2.6.21.7/r8180

still cant load it with modprobe. grrrrr

toss me a clue?

tried loading modules as specified, but it seems the wep module either is not there or will not load.

has anyone else got this working with WEP?

when i get a new pc I use Acronis or something similar to back it up to a large external drive. i do this before even turning the thing on for the first time!

if i ever sell the box to someone or want to return it, i just re-image it back to the original build.

Although i appreciate the mental exercise of the original post, i prefer to think we can somehow avoid any sort of nuclear exchange. I believe the keys to this are education and media exposure. The big news conglomerates need to do more to expose the world to ALL the issues. The news we in the USA a...

I received my 2 XO units last night. I must say that I think Puppy Linux would have been a better choice for the OS. Even with the Sugar interface replaced by a more "normal" interface, Puppy under the hood would be more responsive than the tweaked version of Fedora. Many design decisions ...

I plan to do a test in the next few days, thanks. I'm pretty sure I've read that Linux can mount Apple's HFS. I have never tried it myself, though. Why not just try it? Put a hdd from an Apple into a PC, boot Puppy and see if Puppy cam mount the fileystem. I don't think there is any chance of damage...

I've done a bit of searching, but the answer has not popped up yet.

Can Puppy mount a Mac (apple) filesystem? Specifically wondering about the more recent 10.x OSx stuff.

Don't shoot the messenger! I'm curious about using Puppy and PXE booting to install an OS on PCs. I work for a big company that uses XP on the desktop. I'm also thinking that LanPup or something similar could be used to help "rescue" dead XP machines. If anyone has experience in this area,...

Curiousity is bugging me to open the case on this. I have tried, but I think something will be damaged. Is there a trick to it? I wish they would have a dimm slot instead of soldered ram. 128mb ram is just a bit too tight in some cases. Ram is so inexpensive it would be nice to bump up the ram. chee...

raffy, can you explain how you decide what to put in the reduced size .sfs file and how you create it. I am just not finding good answers in the wiki or forum.

that is weird, as the sound is on the motherboard.

oh well, at least it works.

strangely enough, the "modules" button does not show me anything about the sound chip and neither does "query-pci". here is the output i get from "dmesg". let me know what else i can do to help figure this out. Linux version 2.4.29 (root@vector.linux.vnet) (gcc version ...

motherboard has onboard CS4236B chipset. to make it work, use this:

modprobe cs4232

now if i can get this all working on my Dell Latitude D600, life will be good.

p.s. where can i grab a copy of ndiswrapper, as it seems to be missing from Puppy 1.0.4 ?

i am also needing some help getting the citrix client up and running in Puppy.

if someone has this figured out, please spell it out for us.


thanks

thanks. that is as i expected.

Time to go shopping!!

very interesting thread!

what is the mtbf for usb memory sticks? is it anything to be concerned with?

i am hoping to forego the ide-cf adapter and simply use a USB stick.

cool. i appreciate the feedback and info.

time to go play around with GTKsee, mtPaint, and install gqView.

thanks for the info. I will try GTKsee.

the PhotoVu product looks well-designed and quite perfect. However, i am not willing to part with that much money.
