Slaxer_Pup slackware 12.2 SMP kernel boots puppy 4.12
3G usb modem works in Slaxer_Pup
@big_bass
Finally i can browse internet using my 3G Wireless Data Terminal ZTE MG478/AC8700 usb modem,in puppy using your Slaxer_Pup, by just editing WvDial Config.
but in all other puplets including Deep Though 4.2 ,modem not found was the standered error reported (even after editing WvDial Config)
Thanks !!!

thanks for posting I know their are many more succsessfull
installs that aren´t posting yet
could you please post back in this thread exactly what you edited
as a code snippet

a big thanks in advance
Joe ...aka big_bass
edited WvDial.conf
i edited modem= from /dev/ttys0 to /dev/ttyUSB0
i removed the activation string from init2=
set carrier check to no
Baud = from 460800 to 980800
just that is it
Following is the edited WvDial script
I have to Give you A BIG THANK YOU for making it possible for me to browse INTERNET using your Puplet

Ok, I've been playing with Slaxer_Pup... literally.
I installed a new (to me) graphics card, ATi Raedon 9200, 128ddr and slaxer_pup was fine with it, even changing the res in the boot-up screen messages. Funny thing, I got Slackware 12.2 and it doesn't like this card, must be the Xorg they are using.
Anyway, I found an old .pup of Tuxracer-0.6.1 and installed it. Needed a few more libs so I scrounged around for libs. Ok, didn't work so I ran PETget and found in the Puppy 4 repo Xorg-7.3.1. It has DRI and OpenGL support. I installed that and away Tux went, sliding fast as aver down that mountain!
I had some problems with the card in MU's NYP but in Slaxer it was fine ootb. It seems ok in 4.2 also. No good with BK's spup, but he is using Xorg-7.4. I'll report it too him.
Just thought this might be of interest.

Hmmmm...
No dev_x... Stock 412 dev_x doesn't work (didn't think so, but I tried anyway!). I checked your repo on .ca, no dev_x.
EDIT: After a couple of goes dev_x mounted ok.
I typed in a term and got "no input files". Yay, it works!

that's a nice surprise when the screen does that auto adjust to the smaller size in the boot up and if you add a vga=791 to the kernel option you get the little tux penguin image during boot upmiko

my box does that too and I was wondering when someone else
got that also
about the the devx
there is a good reason for "the moment"I am using the standard devx
this is to sort out any compile related issues while auto building packages from source with src2pkg which there is no expected errors with that the expected
is updating the devx then adding the kernel headers too
I also want to maintain package compatibility
any module compiled on your 12.2 install would work
for the moment
but the standard devx is working fine building packages
Joe
Yep, dev_x is all good.
Compiled joewings latest build, all went well. Installed Val-ide and compiled BarryK's "hello world" gtk example. I think this is gonna be my main system for a while .
Games work, everything just works, except I haven't tried printing yet, oh, and I did have that ndiswrapper issue covered in previous posts.
I've just upgraded all the P series to latest versions and installed MU's Puppy-browser (fast!) and Picture-browser. Screeny over in eyecandy forum. Next is a late model gimp, don't know whose yet, may even compile it.

Got it.
Thanks. Based on 2.4.3 so it is later than the one in the puppy4 repo and I'll check out the extras.

Do we have the kernel source sfs for 2.6.27.7 anywhere? I'm trying to install the Nvidia driver for my box but it complains about needing the kernel source tree
Paul
I don't want to hold you up any longer if you need to compile a module
UPDATED to be a pet package
I re compiled the kernel and here are the actual
headers
http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/big_bass/Sla ... slaxer.pet
there is a readme but I'll post it here also
*********************************
notes on slaxer_pup
these are a "reduced" meaning not the full 21 MB include but complete
set of source headers taken directly from
the kernel source that compiled slaxer_pup 412
with the end goal of just the most needed
headers for making modules
you can not compile a kernel with these
that would require a 680MB of the full
uncompressed sources
I custom made this package then made it a "pet"
for easy installation for the "puppy users"

Big Bass it appears I owe you an apology. Wireless keyboard works.
I have SlaxerPup running.
The boot screen for some reason was cutting off the last line of the screen. I was unaware that the keyboard worked because nothing appeared onscreen. In fact it was there but just below viewable screen.
Once I actually typed puppy pfix=ram (blindly) and then pressed enter, it scrolled up screen into view. I had not gone as far as pressing enter before, because nothing showed onscreen.
Unfortunately still doesn't work for Woof though

and that helps me
oh course it is nice to hear that things work
it is also important to hear what doesn't work so
it can be fixed
I have to edit the init script a little bit so that can be avoided
thanks for posting
and the good news
Joe
Thanks Joebig_bass wrote:here you go it is already in a *.tgz format . I renamed it *tar.gz so I could upload here
you would have to make symlinks
unpatched sources
http://puppylinux.asia/tpp/big_bass/Sla ... arch-1.tgz
I am uploading the source too
I didn't reply right away because I wanted to try to figure out how to use your package with my frugal SlaxerPup installation. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out where (or even how - unpack and copy the files or leave it as a .tgz tarball ?) to install it (/usr/src/ ?). I did try both but whatever I tried, the Nvidia installer kept complaining about not finding the kernel source. I even tried adding the parameter '--kernel-source-path', but that didn't help
I think I need some help here

Methinks Raspberry Pi were ideal for runnin' Puppy Linux
SlaxerPup saves the day.
I was looking for a distro to install on an old Averatec 3200 laptop I'm fixing up for my daughter. Hd install imperative.
The trick was getting wireless to work with wpa. 2.6.26 kernels will work but will not allow wpa connections with linux drivers (rt2500pci). This eliminates standard Puppies.
Anything with 2.6.28 and newer kernels will run fine but freeze up on installation to hd.
SlaxerPup filled the bill nicely.
Great job and thankyou.

I saw in another thread the rt2500 on puppy was a lot
of work to set up
did you have to do anything special to set up on slax_pup
also?
if so could you list what you did to help the next guy get
connected too
thanks for posting

The only important thing to do is update networkwizard to the Apr.1 version found in the bugfix thread for 4.2.
Other than that, wireless is ready to rumble out-of-box.
I've been playing with this machine a few days now and wireless has been performing reliably, with good performance.
I've changed the name to 'Windows 7 - slaxerpup edition' in grub. If I told the daughter it was linux she would turn up her nose, so for now its an experimental version of windows. She should be fooled long enough to fall in love with the operating system.
