I had almost the same problem in puppy 5.1. I have both an internal wireless card and a USB wireless, and I wanted to disable the internal wifi and just run off the USB. There is probably a more elegant way to do this, but the best way I could figure out was to use "ifconfig wlan1 down" on...

Sigmund, I totally agree with excluding /initrd to avoid double hits. I've done a bunch of tests and I think this is an anomaly with my system. I've just tried it on my older computer and everything works as it should. I'm on a Dell Latitude D610 running Puppy 4.3.1, from the CD and the save files, ...

/mnt is part of the file path, pfind wants part of the file "name". Right. I'll try to explain it better: If I put a file on my hard drive, call it name.jpg, with the file path mnt/home/images/name.jpg , and then I go into Pfind and enter "name" or "name.jpg" in the bo...

I don't know if this is new in 4.3 or if I just noticed it. I was puzzled that Pfind couldn't find a file I knew was on my hard drive, so I went into the advanced options, and saw that /mnt is not included in the "Search in" field, and /initrd is specifically excluded. I'd like to change t...

Yesterday I forgot to plug my laptop in, and the battery ran out. When I restarted it, suddenly automatic sign-in wasn't working on any site. The cookie settings looked fine. But then when I closed and restarted SeaMonkey, and used the cookie manager to look at the stored cookies, there were none! I...

I was trying to use CDW to burn an audio CD, and it maxed out the CPU meter and froze (but did not freeze the system). So I killed it, opened it again, clicked the log tab, and saw this error: ******* WARNING: the deprecated pseudo SCSI syntax found as device specification. Support for that may ceas...

Thanks!

In Puppy 4.2.1, I'm trying to convert some ogg files to wav files through pawdioconverter, and I get an error: "sox: command not found". When I go into the console and type "sox", i get the same error. :( Is this a feature or a bug? Is sox supposed to be built into puppy? If not,...

Just letting everyone know that I had exactly the same problem as Barry, and my laptop is only 5 years old and has 512Mb RAM. I easily fixed it by manually copying pup_421.sfs from the CD to the hard drive. But it's strange that all the other times I've upgraded, Puppy put the new sfs on the hard dr...

What I need to do is burn mp3 files onto a CD that will play in a normal stereo. I've done this before with Puppy by putting them all in one directory, using the Soxgui audio format converter to turn them to wav files, and then burning them with Gcombust. This time I decided to try Graveman, which (...
