Behind the warning - deprecated config file - I get the message:

FATAL: Module usbhid not found

I can't use the usb mouse. I tried to configure it by setup, but no success. It is a twelve year old 64MB laptop. But with 431 the usb mouse is working.

Sorry for my delayed reply, had company all day.

I am just using a 10 letter alphanumeric password for WPA2.

I didn't know how else to describe Lucid 5.1 with the 003 update via Quickpet,
so I "invented" Lucid 5.1_003 as a simple label ... was I a naughty puppy?

I use a pcmcia controller TI-1225 in an old Mitac 5033 64MB laptop. This broadband ethernet connection works via LevelOne Card Bus Adapter with Puppy 431. But it does not work with Lucid Puppy 5.1

If I try to load the driver 8139too or 8139cp I am not successful. Auto-probe is not working.

Then I looked after these Linux infos for the LevelOne pcmcia card FPC-0106TX.
Two drivers are provided from LevelOne: rtl8139.c and 8139too.c
- The second one is listed by the Network wizard, but a trial load is not successful.

Regards

I found a couple of interesting things about printing PDF files in Luci51:

If it's a PDF created in Puppy, even 431, ePDFView prints it fine. It won't print /root/puppy-reference/ps-pdf/Acrobat.pdf, just a blank page as rcrsn51 and others have reported. I tried a 105-page owner's manual as well and got one blank sheet for my trouble. However a two-page manual for a card-reader dongle did print; I'm guessing it's a scanned image saved as a pdf. Not that I presume to second-guess rcrsn51, he's way above my level of abilities, but this certainly supports his idea that this printing problem is related to fonts. I have installed the .ttfs but it didn't make any difference that I could see.

I was disappointed to find that OpenOffice couldn't import a PDF file so I could print it from there.

GIMP can import a PDF; it prints Acrobat.pdf just fine. If you don't need to print very many PDFs this might be a good workaround. I haven't tried multi-page documents.

Once Playdayz has Adobe Reader up and going I'll probably install it just for the form-fill functions. That's one less thing I need Windows for, hooray!

Hi Peter,

ls pcmcia or lspcmcia detects nothing here. I find these pcmciautils in my ubuntu system. I am able to downdoad this package too. But I have no idea of the technique to get it working inside the Puppy system.

Cheers

Issue the command lsmod | grep yenta in a console and if you see yenta_socket loaded, your pcmcia is activated.

Maybe I'm missing something, but Pmount doesn't seem to save mounts across boots. (Meanwhile: mount /dev/sdxx /mnt/sdxx &>/dev/null in /etc/profile.local works).

Hi Béèm,

in the lsmod listing there is no yenta_socket included.
