I had to bring this thread up and say thanks to the Puppy developers here.
I was having problems with a couple Dell laptops that I had installed Tahrpup on for a buddy. I do not know what he did but neither would go on line . Tried several things and no matter what I could not get internet. I think maybe he changed the wireless driver settings. I decided to do a new install. Both Dells were 64 bit capable so I went to Distrowatch and found Xenial 64 bit. WOW!!! Super easy fix. Installed on both Dells and all is good. Smooth operators.
