Puppy 4.00 & Intel Wireless 3945

Thanks for your help. I have tried to remake Erik qemu-puppy with the newer release but didn't have any luck. I will have another go and if I don't succeed I'll have to get down to the sweet shop.

thanks again

Did you download the latest stable release? I was just browsing through the forums and came across this thread (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=376926612&t=28705) Where rcrsn51 says : "The early 3.9x alpha versions were missing the ohci_hcd module which is needed by...

I'm sorry but I don't really understand your suggestions. The features that I liked about qemu-puppy were: It would run as an application inside computers that were already booted. It would boot from usb on machines that were capable of doing this. I am assuming from your post that by "install ...

What a shame. Oh well, thanks for all your help. I'll have to try out pupwinqe and see if have both files will make that much of a difference.

I'm not sure I quite understand what you're saying. If I use PupWinQE will I have a version of of puppy that can be run inside other operating systems as well as being able to use it to boot? Based on the instructions for a bootable usb stick and the descriptiong of how PupWinQe works, it looks like...

There is no bat file. And I don't think that is looks for a .ISO as there isn't one on the flash drive

How to update QEMU-puppy 2.17 to 4.0?

Hi, I've been playing with puppy for a little bit now and I stumbled across this site http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/ which allows you to either boot a flash drive version of puppy OR run puppy (in qemu) on a computer that's already on. The version on the website is for puppy 2.17. I wanted to...

why do you say that you can't use fat32? I've used it succesfully as well as ext3 although I've found that even with ext2IFS windows doesn't seem to want to read it.

actually, I have found that it *is* possible to do it with fat32 using puppy-2.12 and also with ext3 because I have just done it. The problem I had was formatting the usb flash drive with the gparted utility without setting the boot flag.

Bootable USB flash drive using ext3 instead of FAT?

I read that it would be better to make my entire usb flash drive ext3 because then the whole drive would be availabe to save my files to. But when I format the drive as ext 3 and then run the universal installer there is an error when trying to mount /dev/etc on /mnt/ or something like that. Is this...

Puppy on USB Flash partition?

I don't know if this is possible, I've searched these forums and the wiki, and I've just tried to do it but it won't work. I want to partition my usb flash drive so that puppy and all of its files are in one partition and my files are kept in the other (hopefully bigger) partition. I am using puppy-...

SOLVED: Compiling c/c++ in puppy v2.12

The method I have found repeated in lots of places for doing this is to find the devx_212.sys file and download it to (as I am using a usb boot) /mnt/home (where the pup_save.3fs is) and then reboot. Having done this, I find that I am unable to compile anything. I get the error message: gcc: command...

Thanks. The first one seemed to be the correct one. The second one sets the middle mouse button as the prime button.

SOLVED: Setting a Mouse to Left handed?

As a left handed user I am used to setting my mouse with the buttons reversed. However this option does not appear in the mouse setup from the puppy wizards. Is there a way to do this? or is it something that I should request as a new feature?

FIXED - Problems creating a bootable USB Flash Drive

Hi there, I have just purchased a 2gb usb flash drive and thought that I would install Puppy linux on it so that I can take puppy with me. But when I tried to use the universal installer, there were some error messages during the installation that seemed to be ignored. On completion of the installat...
