The networking wizard works OK for me on a Gigabyte AirCruiserG, although I seem to need to run it twice to get all the settings in place and saved. Run wizard..select wireless wlan0..scan network..select network..set up and save ssid and wpa / tkip settings with password..wizard attempts network co...

Hi all, well I'm a happy camper anyway! The trouble I was having with USB booting has disappeared *Partitioned my USB flash drive with QParted to FAT 16 *Set Boot flag *Did a fresh install using the Universal installer *Booted and ran off USB flash, no problems at all :wink: Don't know if it's been ...

Hi all, I posted a similar problem in the alpha forum.... I haven't been able to get clean USB flash FAT16 installs work properly since 3.01. * 398 will install and boot ok from an USB Flash ext2 partition. * if I install from 398 to FAT16 it will not boot. * if I install from 301 to FAT16 and then ...

I'm one of the few that don't mind the look of the Citrus theme. To me it does seem to unify the icons and desktop as a "complete" theme, It does give Puppy a lift in the right direction. Perhaps if there were an option to select a base colour, it might be better accepted? Previous release...

I have found that a fresh install using 396 or 397 will not boot from a USB stick. If I use 301 to set up the USB stick with Gparted and a working system then I can upgrade to 396 or 397 using the universal installer or upgrade manually without killing the stick. I have only tried FAT16 at this stag...

Hi kaiyoti, glad to be of help. (Not sure if I actually did, but I'll put my hand up anyway!) I suspect the boot.ini wasn't pointing XP to the correct partition. I have an early version of puppy installed on an ext2 primary partition on my secondary master.. /dev/hdc2 I use partition magic to boot m...

Hi kaiyoti, fixboot and fixmbr are both in the XP recovery console....as far as I understand fixboot is for the boot secctor of the partition and fixmbr is for the mbr of the disk. You can usually have up to 4 primary partitions on a hdd, to create more partitions they are placed inside an extended ...

Hi kaiyoti, in the XP recovery console, do both fixboot and fixmbr. Another little free app. that I have found useful is the Ranish Partition Manager. You boot it from floppy and although it's fairly old now and doesn't support NTFS as such, it may tell you if the partitions are still there or not. ...

Hi folks, puppylinux.com seems to have come clean with XP, ie and AVG. ( Probably with a little help from Barry. thanx Barry :) ) Thanks for your help and comments guys.....To reflect and add my 2cents worth.... it's probably worth mentioning that most people discover Puppy and other distros on a ma...

Hmmm....just had a look with Fire fox, still on XP though...

AVG saw nothing at all???? not sure what Fire fox does with active x,?

looks like the hits are targeted at ie??

or maybe, I know it's hard to believe, it's just bad code in ie

Hi folks,

don't think it's just my setup.... when I access the puppylinux.com homepage with a fresh ie session, I get two virus hit notefications from AVG and XP sees an attempted active x probe?

AVG identifies the virus as "HTML/Framer"

anyone else seen this?

I have previously played with an other type of "on key linux"....I think it was called Flash linux? If I remember correctly they split the key into a couple of ext2 partitions for their install. They used a thing called "sfdisk". It could see a lot more than the normal fdisk, and...

Have blundered on regardless.....please bear with me, I'm fairly in-experienced with the nuts and bolts side of things. As stated before I have installed the pilot-xfer packages listed on this forum and it seems to want to run. Though I'm not 100% sure of the command line functions. I have also seem...

Hi folks, has anyone had any luck with USB Palm syncing? I have tried "pilot-link" from this forum, and found the Palm OS Desktop HOWTO. pilot-xfer from this package seems to want to work..... The HOWTO suggests to modprobe visor or modprobe usbserial. Neither of these return anything? It ...
