I thought Barry was still going to maintain 3.xx, but was just working on 4.xx for the time being.

Hello,

I have an Averatec 3200 series laptop with an Ralink wireless card (I guess it is 2500). The puppy versions - 2.14 through 2.17 easily recognized the card and showed the network interface as RA0 and I could enter the required details and get connected.

In Puppy version 3.01, the interface is recognized as RA0 and I can enter the details, but there is no connection.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I posted earlier about how it would take as long as 5 minutes for applications to start up in 3.01:

It sound like Puppy wasn't loading into ram, or else was but only left a very small amount for using.

I just realized that the HTML composer window is missing from SeaMonkey in 3.01. When I click on the "html" desktop icon a little window pops up saying

Ok, I downloaded the latest SeaMonkey and tried it out. It seems to open faster than the version that came with 3.01, and I generally like it, but I didn't save it because of a few problems I'd like to clear up first.

1) How do I install it so that clicking on the desktop "browse" icon starts the new version? I can only start it by typing ./seamonkey in an rxvt window. I guess what I'm asking is, is it possible to replace the old version, and how do I do that?

2) How do I install Flash? Nearly every website I open causes a window to pop up telling me I need to install (the latest version of) Flash. I tried installing the tar.gz download, but it didn't work.

They have a menu-entry to choose 7 or 9 (9 might be unstable on some sites, but others require it).

Xorg Wizard that comes with puppy seems to not finish making the Xorg.conf file and that is why it doesn't have out of the box Multi Monitor support.

What it doesn't do is a detection on the second monitor, it declares it is there in one part but does not attempt to do a scan on the next monitor to generate the information and also it doesnt put a second screen section.
