Puppy 2.0 runs well (Wirelessly) on an old Dell Laptop

ISO used: puppy-2.01-seamonkey.iso 06/19/2006

For the record here I have been using an old
Dell Insperon

Dell Insperon 7500
Model PPI
Intel, Celeron 466Mhz
440BX Chipset
64MB DRAM
6.5GB HD
20VDC, 3.5A PS
Belkin Wireless G PCMCIA F5D7010, BCMWL5.INF XP2K Driver

Previously I was running puppy-1.0.8-mozilla.iso
which had to have Perl installed before you
could configure ndiswrapper.

Some tricks I played here. Before booting the Puppy
2.0 Live-CD I Gparted the HD such that there is
a 1GB Linux-swap and a 5GB ext3 Linux partition.
The Pup 2.0 Live-CD will see the swap drive,
report over 700MB of DRAM space and load everything
to that. You can then eject the Pup Live-CD and
load a CD or Floppy that contains the BCMWL5.INF
WinBlows Wireless PCMCIA driver.

In 1.0.8 you had to install Perl first before
running and installing the ndiswrapper thing.
In 2.0 Perl is already in there so you can
skip that process.

Pup 2.0 sees both the swap and ext3 partitions
on the HD and you can actually install Pup 2.0
to the ext3 partition.

I'm still fus'n with it so more to come.
