Barry, I checked out the BareBones 2.01r1 version of SmartLink support of my PCI modem and found that it does work as expected, right from the CD. But I also checked the changes to rc.network and modem-wizard and found a comment issue and a code issue. 1. rc.network is perfect, except that your comm...

Barry, After making my above changes, it occurred to me that since the default of setting both the wheel and emulation active does not seem to cause any problems, maybe the user interface should be simplified by just removng those options from the wizard. Is there any reason to restrict the user to ...

I have indeed made an updated version of the input-wizard, implementing all of the ideas mentioned above. Despite Barry's blog entry about the mousebuttons file, I have retained my change to set it to 3 for an emuilated mouse. In searching the xwin file for "/dev/mouse,2", as the blog impl...

Upon reflection/obsession regarding the user experience with the "mouse features" selection decision, I conclude that the selection would be more intuitive if there were three radio buttons. The added button would be "Mouse has 3 buttons (and no scroll wheel)". This way, only one...

Barry,
I would like to check this out with my SmartLink modems. Could you make the new wvdial available for testing?
Thanks.
Richard

Well said, Nathan. Thank you. Tha actual and potential pupgets at issue are: ltmodem - 213K slmodem - 676K HCFmodem - 528K (dotpup) HSFmodem - 743K (dotpup) This is an iso size increase of 2160K or about 2 megabytes. This seems a small price for eliminating the "Catch 22" that would ruin t...

Barry, Now that v2.01 supports installing alien packages to the /lib directory, it is now possible to provide winmodem support in the isos as pupgets, so that users with internet access only through a winmodem can get started without outside help. My suggestion is to add to the iso a "winmodem&...

(Running v2.01 "poor man" installation.) 1. The mouse wizard does not retain the "emulation" selection across reboots. This appears to be because the following test always fails: if [ ! "`cat /etc/xextraoptions | grep "\\-2button"`" = "" ];then If I ...

V2.01 contains two of the three main factors I found necessary to restore the function of SL PCI modems. The third is explained in a follow-up post on the Puppy2 forum: http://www.puppyos.com/nfphpbb/viewtopic.php?p=1533#1533 . To avoid repetition, I will present here just my updates to the v2.01 ve...

While exploring this program, I found that it needs gnuchess in order for the chess features to work. I installed that with the DotPup downloader, but it can be downloaded and installed directly from http://www.murga.org/~puppy/download.php?id=6 . To allow GCompris to find gnuchess, I had to make a ...

Thanks, Mark, for making this suite available for Puppy. To get it to work (on my Toshiba laptop), I needed to also install your libartsc dotpup from http://www.dotpups.de/dotpups/Libraries/libartsc.pup . I may be working with my school district ed tech regarding linux and perhaps utilizing their mo...

Thank you, GuestToo, for fixing gtdial for use with SmartLink modems and probably other brands. I am surprised that no one has responded in three months. I received back, just last week, the PC I set up with the SL modem, because we could not get it to work by phone conversations (due to my faulty m...

I have a Toshiba Satellite 2535CDS laptop loaded with Puppy 1.06. In the BIOS, there is a setting "Device Config." set to "All Devices". When I changed that to "Setup by OS" boot-up would fail implying something wrong re pcmcia. This parameter is probably the same as th...

Response to rarsa'a statement: Some have been no more than glorified HOWTOs as I haven't seen more interest. (VPN, CUPS, Mercury) rarsa, please do not conclude that there is little interest in your CUPS accomplishments. I followed your progress with dewdrop and am pleased with the outcome. I have it...

Many thanks, rarsa and dewdrop, for getting CUPS working in Puppy. I have succeeeded in activating it for my HP5850 network printer, using sockets://192.169.0.100:9100. Some notes: - Downloaded and untarred everything under /mnt/home/printer... to save space in my pup001 (in a type 1 HD install). - ...

For SmartLink modems there is a workaround to correct the chatscript line produced by Gkdial for each connection, by changing: "" "AT&FW2" to: "" "ATZ" Having to make even that change would be a bad start for new adopters of Puppy, such as the woman I plan...
