Yeah or locate jwmshutdown it's the shutdown dialog used in dpup.
You can even make button on panel to launch it.

BTW post your PC specs kayan
EDIT: OOPS, it's in your signature!

I tried to configure my connection with pwireless2, but the device, eth1, wasn't found.
With the network wizard no problem.

I prefer pwireless2 as it reconnects, in case of a lost connection, to the same access point.
With the network wizard, as I have a lot access points arond me, I did find myself connected to another (non-protected) one after a connection loss.

What can be done to get Pwireless2 working?
When started no access points are displayed and there are at least some 25 around me.

No idea sorry I don't use wireless maybe look in pwireless dev thread if there's updated version or something?

Yeah read what I said in first post, you can post bugs but this is just a puplet and I will correct if I know enough to do so otherwise you're on your own. I've never used wireless network or pwireless tool and know nothing about how those protocols function. I know that if ipw module was in dpup it's also in kdpup and if connection worked on dpup you should have same connection as tools are same. Is that other network wizard you talk about also in kdpup?

From first post:

[Béèm]

The other network wizard is just the network wizard which is for a long time in all the puppies. Nothing extravagant. Just standard.
I use that one now.

Not having access to wireless I can understand it's difficult to diagnose, but me having no skills in development I don't know where and how to start.
I can do tests if instructed. I have done that.

As for the iw2100 driver, I know it's in dpup. I used dpup a lot until there was no movement anymore in the project and I still use it on occasions.

So it boils down to the regular network is seeing my internet device as eth1 with the ipw2100 driver whereas pwireless2 don't. That"s all there is.

I successfully added a wine sfs and a OpenOffice sfs to my kdpup installation.
All is working ok.
Just to inform about this.

dejan555,
Good job! I did a frugal install on my usb stick and gave it a try. I am very impressed with kde (I never used kde much) and how well puppy package manager works with the debian repos. I can't wait to do some customizing!

One problem though, I tried doing a frugal install on my girlfriends Dell xps m140 (which is running puppy 4.3.1 at the moment) but when booting I get:

Try:

I can't wait to try this one, I've been wondering if there was a puppy with KDE and what do you know, there's one on the first page of the Puppy Derivatives section

I like the fact its KDE 3.5 too..I've generally only used 4x lately and while its fairly cool.. lots of bugs and instability from what I've found. I've heard a lot of people prefer the older and faster 3.5 and it still looks pretty nice from what I can tell.

You could drag one of the scripts in usr/bin to the desktop (symlink it):

wmexit
wmpoweroff
wmreboot

or drag shutdown to the desktop, that's the dpup shutdown window.


Problem solved dragged shutdown to (linked ) to desktop now i get the DPup shutdown Window Thanks again for the help
