Hey Paul (pakt) 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/Slackware_Packages/kernel-headers-2.6.27.7-smp-2-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" ************************************ Joe _________________ debian wheezy ,linux mint, slackware I use them all and they all have good points Mint would be best for general users though Last edited by big_bass on Sat 23 May 2009, 13:11; edited 2 times in total |

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

tasmond you reported what you saw 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

Thanks Joe 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

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. |

Hey hayagix 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 big_bass _________________ debian wheezy ,linux mint, slackware I use them all and they all have good points Mint would be best for general users though |

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. |
