Thanks. I'll try compiling a PET package for GPG-enabled Sylpheed over the weekend and follow up with feedback as soon as possible.

I tried compiling from source last night, but when I did, Puppy complained about not finding a compiler (C++, I think).. If such a compiler is available from the repository, then I must have overlooked it. Anyway, the GnuPG PET package is 662KB more or less (Thanks, ttuuxxx) Here's the link: http://...

I downloaded GnuPG from a link I found on another thread. Now I want to enable GPG support for Sylpheed. According to Sylpheed website http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/doc/faq/en/sylpheed-faq-2.html#d0e886 , one would need to run: ./configure --enable-gpgme to enable GPG support from Sylpheed source. I can...

I tried MU's suggestions, but without success. When I tried to install fvwm with petget, Puppy complained it couldn't find a display (or something similar). I've resigned myself to doing a fresh install, as E2001 suggested (sigh). Thanks for the suggestions. Next time I get a notion to make changes,...

I have an old Compaq Armada (Pentium MMX). It has a slot that allows me to swap between a floppy drive and cd-rom drive. I don't have a floppy drive, and my cd-rom drive doesn't work. In order to install Puppy 3.0x, I had to connect the laptop hdd to my desktop via an adapter, and re-install the lap...

This wireless card uses a Broadcom chipset, which is NOT Linux-friendly :( I know b/c I have the same card in my Dell Inspiron 1501. If you open rxvt and run # lsmod you should see the bcm43xx module listed. Unfortunately, I still have not been able to get the wifi card configured. I've even tried n...

Th3_uN1Qu3, Thank you for your suggestion. I had tried that earlier, but the cd-rom failed to mount. Listed below is a partial output from dmesg: # first reference to UNINSTALLED floppy drive pnp: Device 00:11 disabled. Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 ide0: BM-DMA at 0xb140-...

Jesse, Thanks for the suggestions. This is an **OLD** laptop in which the BIOS originally was installed on a small utility partition on the HDD that had been removed before I came on scene. Since the cd-rom drive didn't (or doesn't) work, I must use an adapter to install any kind of OS. Before insta...

Check the directory /mnt/cdrom or /mnt/hdb where you are mounting, make sure that there are no files there. Both /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/hdb are empty. Check that the cdrom disk can be identified by using... /usr/lib/mut/bin/guess_fstype /dev/hdb My results # /usr/lib/mut/bin/guess_fstype /dev/hdb unkn...

Thanks for the suggestion. This is the relevant listing for my /etc/fstab file /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,rw 0 0 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 When I tried to mount the cd-rom as suggested, I received the following error message # mount /dev/hdb /mnt/hdb -t iso9660 -o ro ...

I installed Puppy 3.01 on a Compaq Armada 7350MT that has one swappable slot for a floppy or cd-rom. Puppy detects and mounts the floppy drive. However, Puppy returns an error when it tries to mount the cd-rom. I edited /etc/fstab to include the cd-rom /dev/hdb /mnt/hdb auto noauto,rw 0 0 The cd-rom...

Just commenting on a successful install to HD. I installed Puppy 3.01 onto a Compaq Armada 1750MT using a HDD adapter. The machine is 167 MHz with 8gig HD and 128mig RAM.Then, just for fun, I purchased an ASUS 107G wireless adapter to see if it would work. Everything is running great! Puppy boots ri...
