jimmyhan,
I'm not sure I understand your question. PGPRS modem setup is the third button on the Internet Connection Wizard via 'Connect' icon. Please also try 'pgprs-shell' in a terminal. Be sure to enter in your APN and the other fields as needed.

If you can't connect, please try it with Puppy 4.3x or another puplet and let us know what works.
Thank you,
TazOC

Dear TazOC,
I'm currently using browser linux and had been using several are puplet. I have no problems until this one. I was able to setup the modem, but there's no PGPRS Connect.

Dear TazOC,

Found it in the file system and the error message is.
/usr/sbin/pppd: Can't open options file/etc/ppp/peers/gprsm:No such file or directory

update - I did a reinstall onto my thumb drive once again and every works fine now ... strange ... thanks for advice

I love the concept and design of LHP, but I'm about ready to give up on making it work on a USB stick. I have been unable to make it work 'persistent,' i.e., to remember what SFS's to load, xorg settings, wireless etc. It sees the pupsave file, it loads it, it appears to save to it... it just does 'nothing' upon reboot.

Any suggestions appreciated!

thanks,
jf

jf,
Sorry about the difficulties. I wonder if it could be related to the bug where ntfs drives are automounted read-only? You might try disabling Automount (icon in /mnt) and reboot. Hmm, maybe not; settings probably won't be remembered anyway.

What file system is your USB drive, fat32? Are you using the Puppy Universal Installer? Please let me know and I'll do some testing with the same method and file system.

Thanks, TazOC- FAT32 on USB,have tried every possible install option. Just tried NOP, new version, installed using Unetbootin.. and it seems to work fine, where 'plain' Puppy, the Lighthouse version, the E17 version, and a few others all had problems no matter how installed. I have no clue what the difference is! The Google Earth and Openoffice sfs's from the Lighthouse site load fine, but interestingly enough, NOPs bootmanager does not even 'see' the Mariner sfs, much less let me load it! Openoffice works, but Earth does not start up, even though it is on the menu.
I still need Firefox and Thunderbird sfs that will load.... or a LHP that will start persistent!
thanks,
jf

Will do my best here. The Mariner SFS has a version number '_443.sfs', so need to rename it w/o the '_443' so that NOP or other Puppy versions can see it. I've only tested it with LHP so I don't know if/how it will work. LHP's GoogleEarth doesn't work for me either, yet. Thanks for letting me know.

That fix works great, thanks. Some more results:
1. Google Earth still does not work, tried under several window managers, no luck.
2. Only Scribus works from the graphics sfs add on.
3. Am going to try Earth as a Slackware add-on....

EDIT: No luck with Earth, still hangs when initializing....
