I have a Compaq Armada 1700- 233mz processor/160mb RAM 4gb drive with w2k on the 1st partition(1.5gb). I did a frugal install of 4.3.1 on the 2nd partition(2.5gb). Using the instructions found here

I used grub4dos to dual-boot. Here is my modified menu.lst(notice the pnpbios=off)

After booting into puppy and initial set-up, I had no sound. This link solved it!

adding the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local then rebooting gave me sound.
rmmod snd-es18xx
sleep 1
modprobe snd-es18xx isapnp=0 irq=5 dma1=1
sleep 1
modprobe snd-es18xx isapnp=0 irq=5 dma1=1 dma2=5
Lastly I had an issue with the touchpad behaving erratically. This link solved it.

After installing synclient and flsynclient, I was able to get it under control.
I hope this helps someone with similar issues.

There is a generic Lexmark driver called z600 that might work with your x1240. Download it here.maxpro4u wrote:Now onto the printer.....It might be a little tricky, seeing it is a lexmark 3in1 x1240.
When you run CUPS, look under Lexmark for the Z600 printer.
Your scanner may be auto-detected by Xsane without installing any other driver.

I tried out the latest and greatest today. Lucid 5.0.8
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=55740
Works well so far. I did have to use the modified rc.local file to get the sound to work. Installing opera10.1(the one offered) as my default browser and then upgrading to 10.6, I was surprised to see a correct icon in the tray. Using 4.3.2 and luci 213, both had a dark square where the O should be(clean install/no upgrade).
