nic007 and cthisbear, First - thanks for replying. To answer your question nic007, both Warys are frugal installed. I put both on there to see if there were any differences, and isn't Wary 5.5 more recent than 5.3? And to both of you, why leave Windows on there? I'd like to hear your opinions on it....

Greetings all, I know it has been a while, but I have been extremely busy! So I currently have Puppy Wary 5.3 and 5.5 on a Gateway Solo 9100 with WinXP. Since WinXP is no longer supported, I am going to get rid of it and make this an all-Linux machine :twisted: . I know I have to wipe the drive, etc...

Thanks Semme - that'll do the trick. And yes, it does work in Wary 5.3 and 5.5.

VV5 out.

Greetings all,

The end user of this machine indicated that they wanted an interactive and fun typing program to learn typing. Is there any software out there for Wary 5.3 and/or 5.5 that I can install?

If so, can someone guide me through the steps of installing it?

Thanks!
VV5

Greetings all,

Trying out Wary 5.5, and ALSA finds my card and tries to play a test sound, but crashes before that even happens.

Sounds works fine on Wary 5.3. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Greetings all,

Sorry the title was a bit limited, but I have a Gateway Solo 9100 that has a Yamaha sound card (OPL3-SAx I believe).

Sound does work in Wary 5.3, but not RetroPrecise. And I did try the legacy drivers in RetroPrecise.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

6502coder, I meant the dongle (sorry - I'm a noob). It was my noob understanding (and please correct me if I am wrong) that if a device and/or driver worked in one version it would work in all. I thought all Puppies were derived from the same kernel. If you have time, can you please help me understa...

Good point. Thanks for all of the info.

I'll get that dongle on order. I'm going to leave this post open for time being.

I'll update as soon it gets here.

Thanks!
VV5

P.S. Do you know if it will work on Retro Precise as well?

6502coder, Thanks for the response - from now on I'll ask the forums instead of grabbing something at Staples :x ! The dongle you have is cheap enough to give the ol' heavy some wireless capability! So, I take it all PCMCIA cards for my systems specs wouldn't be able to support WPA2? Thanks! VV5

Greetings all, I am determined to fix this wireless issue and then configure Puppy once and for all (I hope). I've been messing around with Wary 5.3 for quite some time, but let's work on the wireless first. I have a Gateway Solo 9100 laptop, PII @ 400 MHz, 384 MB RAM, 160 GB IDE HDD (with half for ...

pemasu,

Apologies on the delay, I was on business travel.

Out of courtesy, I did try ndiswrapper with the links you provided, but I was unable to get the adapter to work. It's a Broadcom issue.

Thanks for all of your help.

Pemasu,

That's pdiag pet is pretty damn cool!

File attached - please let me know what you think and if you need me to do anything else!

VV5

Pemasu,

Will do all tonight when I get home. But before I do I am running Live CD right now before I commit to a final install (debating full vs. frugal installs still ).

Can I still do your tests with a live CD? Would the instructions change?

Thanks!
VV5

Greetings all, So I abandoned my Cisco card and am going to work with USB - probably better in the long run. I have a Netgear N600 for the Gateway Solo 9100 that I am going to use with Wary 5.3 (and possible RetroPrecise). Now I tried several of the network setup utilities, but it doesn't detect my ...

Ok, I honestly think it's a CardBus "driver" issue. I hopped on the WinXP partition and tried the latest driver from Cisco, and nothing work. The only thing I didn't check was the CardBus itself, to which I guess I need an updates driver for the Cirrus Logic PD6832. I take it I would need ...

Greetings all, I'm referencing this topic: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=687579#687579 Now, I was doing some searching on the web and it turns out that my socket isn't getting power to the Cisco card (part AIR-CB21AG-A-K9), even though my modem card is and it works on both sockets...

Ok,

There is no power going to the card - I will start a new thread.

Ok, I'll just cut and paste here. Please let me know if you have any other ideas (both my modem and CIsco PCMCIA card are plugged in, and Puppy can detect the modem via PupDial). Using PupScan, when I hit PCI interfaces I get: DESCRIPTION: Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX H...

Did, but I don't see anything about a wireless card on anything. Standby - I'm going to send two screen shots on the next post.

No problem.

Will I still be able to tell modules if I am booting from Live CD?

I can post that. While I am waiting for a response I will reboot.

Thanks!
