I don't want to be mean spirited. For what it is a free os and except for the wireless issue I think Puppy is great. I shouldn't base my opinion of the community on a couple of comments. I am usually pretty diligent about searching and that is how I found Puppy in the first place. I am going to see ...

Well I have used windows all my life from 3.1 to vista. I picked up a dead laptop and tried all different versions of Puppy Lucid Racy Wary etc. even DSL Retro with little luck and put 98se on it for free. I then picked up a second newer one with better luck as I can do full installs on it. I have t...

I tried 2 different cards Orinico Prism older 11mbs and a newer netgear wg511 v2 it recognizes the older card see the network I put in my wep key but it won't connect. It doesn't see the netgear card at all with the older card I get a message about encryption not be resolved. It works fine with the ...

If you can't get Puppy to work I'll be surprised if you can get Windows to work. :lol: That's kind of rude. Win 98se worked fine on the Dell latitude I installed all original dell sound video drivers etc. from their website Works Wiz bang I plan to use it to run Audacity as a spare unit to record m...

Compaq Presario 700 While still and older retro looking machine I picked it up for ten bucks 900hz processor, 512mg memory 20 gig hard drive no wireless but Ethernet modem winxp was trashed because there were errors on hard drive I used duke nuke to fix it and Wary puppy installed without a hitch. I...

Ok thanks for all the info but this becoming to much of a headache I am probably going back to original OS as someone is giving me a free install disk and see if that works I think that will solve a lot of issues

well i burned that CD no go it wouldn't load duke and nuke I give up right now the best I can do and what works the best is Lucid with a save file on a usb stick but then that ties up my only usb port and I have to still run the live CD. I partitioned the drive ext2 and linux swap the linux swap get...

I am beginning to think it is a bad hard drive I may just pick up a known good one they are pretty cheap used The hard drive may be the reason it was at Thrift Shop and why windows was trashed in the first place. This only a test bed unit as I have a couple of other that work fine sadly this being m...

well I followed the instructions as close as I could but it was a little different as I was installing Wary not dingo I got Ext2-fs error bad entry Kernel panic no init found try passing init= option to kernel file system type0x83 etc so I maybe I should try something else? or different linux? sugge...

It runs fine on 128 and I gave it a 500mg swap in fact legacy 4 mini never used all the 128 when I had it running from live cd I just can't get any Puppy linux to install. I will be putting laptop right in front of my desktop and follow instructions verbatim from that link and see what happens tomor...

I have a Dell latitude CPI 366 with 128mgs of Ram 4 gig hard drive for $8 Windows 2000 was on it but busted so I thought I would give a free OS a try. After looking and trying I settled on Wary Puppy as the best bet for the machine, but I can't install to the hard drive( the best option for what I w...

First let me say Hi I am new to linux. I have known of it's existence for years but never used it.

After looking and trying I settled on Wa...
