Is the copy/paste not supported on the console ??

To copy and paste out of the urxvt terminal you'll have to use a three button mouse.

- Mark the text in the urxvt to copy
- open f.e. the 'Leafpad' text editor
- click the middle button/scroll wheel to paste into the text editor window

rem: It works both ways - from/and to the urxvt terminal.

...mentioned by forum member 'Monsie'

Right and left mouse button pressed at same time, does the same as pressing the middle mouse button.

To be sure, use ROX to browse to /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and check that this firmware file -
rtl8192cufw.bin
is definitely there.
If so, that's a good thing, but the driver is still failing, and your best option is still to use Lucid 5.2.8 with the vendor-supplied driver that I provided.

Yes I can see rtlwifi there - inside there is 1 file named rtl8192cufw.bin.

I have tried with Lucid 5.2.8 but still no luck.

Never mind I will forget by now this problem of the wireless dongle.
I can access internet with a ethernet cable.

What I'm trying to do now is to install the most possible of software that I use in windows to see if one day I can completely replace windows with a linux distro on my main desktop machine.

Also, in the newer Puppy systems (certainly true in 5.28) you can copy the text from your browser, then use the "edit" menu bar tool on the command window (which has a "paste" function)

thank you for all tips.

One thing is for sure: in this forum everybody is very helpfull and fast to give answers.

keep up the good job.

Let us know if the answers were right.

Just to be clear - Lucid 5.2.8 does not contain a compatible driver for your wifi device - you need to install the Realtek third-party driver I provided.

Ok after installing the realtek thid party as sugested by you it's detecting my USB dongle.
However I never manged to connect o my wifi.

Errors like: DHCP client failed to negociate with wireless network ZON-15F0

any ideas ??

Concerning the copy/paste it works just like in window now !!!

he has always been the puppy linux world's top banana when it comes to wifi (and other things for that matter)

a toast to 'the man'

I've settled on 5.28 for the time being. It seemed to have lower hardware load than 4.31, and much better hardware support... Damn solid product!

(someone once said that if I started running Puppy that I'd never get back to playing with Debian... )

"ROCKS" is an is an extreme understatement.
We are really fortunate to have someone like him to help with
wireless problems that haven't even been solved by the largest
linux distros.

Ah, that's good to hear, though you will come unstuck if you try to add a very new accessory device, such as a Realtek wifi dongle, for example.
The Puppy 2.00/2.02regression kernel is too old for modern drivers to compile against.

For speed and lightness, though, the Puppy 1.03 - 1.09 series was even better. Worked a treat with my (now dead) Sony VAIO Pentium 1 laptop.
Again, no support in that old Pup for modern hardware.

Puppy 1.03 - 1.09 series was even better

ok I dare not mention the simplepup I have based on 1.08 ... get even faster performance but my usb modem and wifi were not an option.

I did cheat and change the kernel in 2.02 to 2.6.18 as the original had a unionfs quirk which meant deleted files reappearing but performance remained. I put it down to the Xorg / X 6.8 and early gtk 2 and of course plenty of gtk1 apps. The included mplayer finished the show and a neat firefox 1.5. I did build the realtek rt3070sta driver on that kernel but normally the older pups are around for nostalga, testing ideas and the occasional rollar coaster ride on a speedy base (and small too 60MBsfs)

cheers
