Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the hardware that I have (Engenius NUB862 Atheros 5523 USB adapter) doesn't have a real linux driver, and it seems it won't have one for some time. Looking at the ndiswrapper website, it seems a newer version than 1.44 is required to fix the problem that I have (i....

Hello,

Is it possible to upgrade the ndiswrapper used in 2.14? Do i need to download the whole 60MB devx.sfs for that?
Or maybe there is a dotpup out there?

Thanks

Hello, After several remasters I get a Kernel Panic. It says: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (1,0) Note, that if I add another master hard drive, then it boots fine from Grub from the second hard drive. What could be the problem and can this be solved? Here...

It'd be great if someone compiled and made a dotpup out of XNC - X Northern Captain - X based File Manager. It's available at http://xnc.dubna.su/

I've tried the Slackware and Debian packages for it but they always exit with segmentation fault, so it seems this has to be compiled on Puppy to work.

Almost all of the stuff from www.portablefreeware.com should work fine in 0.9.28. The ironic thing is that most of the software for Windows that works in Wine is faster than the native Linux alternatives. For instance, Total Commander beats any linux file manager (and I've tried many) and Notepad++ ...

I copied all the TTF files from Wine. It shows cyrillic fine but I cannot type it in. I've read reports of it working in Ubuntu, so the problem might not be in Wine. With Wine 0.9.35 are you able to type in Cyrillic or in French? You can try by going to Advanced Keyboard Layout options and adding th...

Has anyone been able to type in non-english character set in Wine?

I'm using Wine 0.9.28 and whenever I change the keyboard set, say to cyrillic I do not see the characters being typed in. Although it shows cyrillic just fine.

Is it possible?

I'm using Wine version 0.9.28 and while it shows cyrillic font just fine I have trouble entering it. If I do Alt-Shift and type anything in Notepad for instance it doesn't enter input into the screen. Only english works. The same method works just fine with native applications i.e Opera, Leafpad. Af...

There's a few options here, in order of ease - * boot from the cd! * boot from usb, either with a usb install or with a bootloader on a stick * install grub to the hard drive (same issues mentioned in the original post) I'm sure if I thought about it there would be more still, hey how about qemu? N...

I've been trying to enable hinting in freetype. I've compiled and installed freetype with bci enabled, but hinting does not work. Even ms fonts look ugly. I've tried to download libfreetype with bci enabled, as advised here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1646353006&t=...

73 Megs! How did you ever! Did you dump drivers? I'd try it, but first w'ld need to know that it wouldnt burn out the flash drive even yet, beryl,. And puppy orbisvicis Yes, since I did this two years ago when 1GB 2GB Flash drives were expensive and so I had to remove a lot off stuff to fit Windows...

I've used a few of experience's releases, they are very good and secure. xp beast runs well on old hardware (like litepup in some respects). xp vista is only really good if you have the grunt to run aero, otherwise its a stripped out xp (but does have excellent driver support) xp ultimate is a full...

Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to get keyboard layout to work in Wine under Puppy? I've enabled the Russian layout and it works on native apps, but when I try for instance to enter stuff into any Windows app, it doesn't enter anything, only English works. After googling I found only soluti...

Thank you for the suggestions. I suppose the 2.6 kernel is a bit slower on really old hardware, such as Pentium 200Mhz. I'll install evilwm and it should give close enough performance to Windows.

Thanks for the reply,

I did option 2 install and a swap partition. Puppy uses 52MB on start and feels noticeable more sluggish than Win2K. I've tried both Xorg and Xvesa, with Xord feeling a bit faster.
Maybe I should use another window manager?

Ok, this guide is for advanced users, who have some knowledge of how Windows works. It also won't be too detailed since I don't have much time. If in doubt, use Google. By following this guide you can get basic Office functionality to work. Why would you want to use Office if Puppy has Abiword and G...

Hello, I have installed Puppy to a hard drive of a PC which used to run Win2k. It's Pentium 200Mhz with 96MB ram. After the onboard USB controller fried , Windows refuses to run and to install. Anyways, Puppy boots fine on it. However, it's UI feels much slower than Windows. And it's also a lot slow...

Is it possible to boot Puppy on a Flash drive from Windows Bootloader? Currently I'm booting Windows from a Flash drive. What I'd like to do is to install Puppy (full install) into another Flash drive and then add a grub entry to Windows bootloader and boot Puppy from that drive. For now, I was able...

Currently, the suspend to ram feature isn't working in Puppy (at least on my laptop). There is a tool called s2ram which makes the process easier (you just type s2ram and the machine goes to sleep) . It's at http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram. You would need to use unrpmfull.pup for unpacking the rpm file...

I found a solution to part of the problem. I'm posting the steps here as it might be useful to some: 1. Download http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/seife/openSUSE_10.2/i586/suspend-0.50.20070213-4.3.i586.rpm and rename the file to suspend.rpm. The file is RPM package for suspend.sf.net proj...
