I know I have read the answer to this question, but when you search these forums for md5sum almost EVERY post is returned. I downloaded a file. I have the md5sum. How do I check the file to see if it was a good download?

I scan after I use the "connect" icon on the desktop in 2.13. I am not sure what the encryption is. Is there another puppy version that supports other encryptions?

I have Puppy 2.13 and I use a wireless NIC to access several different wireless networks, home, library, etc. However I cannot access any network that I must provide a key for.

I successfully access my network wirelessly. However, each time I reboot I must reconfigure. I'm quite quick at it, but wondering how I can have it save its configuration. It claims that it saves the config each time to use at reboot, but it is not. Is there an easy fix or do I need to modify a file?

I have Puppy 2.13 and Firefox 2.0.0.1. I view a website that needs Adobe Flash Player 9. I downloaded this and when I followed the manual installation instructions (automatic not available) it stopped and said glibc is must be 2.4. Is this something that a newbie can update? Will it be updated in fu...

That was it! It needed that firmware update, after I installed that update, restarted, and ran network setup, choose the loaded the prism54 driver, and did a scan, it was done.
Thanks SO much!

A couple of questions:- Are you still using ndiswrapper or are you relying on 2.13 having the driver built in? I have tried both. I do not know if the driver is built in, I haven't been able to find it. I have the XP driver, so I'd say I'm still using ndiswrapper. I think. I'm learning a lot, but I...

I don't use a live CD. I have Puppy installed on my hard drive. I don't have /mnt/home. Where do I put it? I downloaded it, but I don't konw how to install it.

I downloaded OpenOffice. I expanded the file, but I have NO idea what to do now. Here are the only instructions the openoffice.org website gives. Installation Steps 1. Unpack the downloaded image into a directory. For example, currently, the following command would unpack into the current directory:...

Thanks, but I don't know what the WiFi Up section is telling me on this page.

Thanks Mark and John. I thought I might pass this informaiton along as well. When I click on RutilT I get an error window with this message: Critical error : Can't find any wireless network interface. Do you have the wireless extensions compiled in your kernel?

I upgraded to Puppy 2.13 since the last post. I have an ethernet NIC installed so I can get on these forums while I'm trying to configure the wireless NIC that I want to use mostly. Thanks for your help about "help." I can learn stuff, but sometimes need a little prodding. My dislike for M...

An alternative would be to use a more recent version of Puppy (2.13)

Can I upgrade from the Puppy I have or do I have to do an entire install?
