First day hanging out with my new Puppy
Posted: Thu 01 Feb 2007, 02:07
I rather like Puppy and it will take some time getting use to but I can understand it much better now. I had troubles running from CD as my cdrom drive is problematic.
On the HD it is much better. It blew my mind last night when trying to find files as every time from the CD I would use Rox and before I knew it it was scanning the whole cd and I could not stop it.
Anyways it is running well and I am going to let Windows hang around a while longer so I can retrieve files and drivers for my wifi card etc.
I can not find my cdrom drive now...? It says Puppy thinks it is at /dev/hdb but I try to run it from there and nothing happens.
The biggest thing I want to get going is I have a pcmmia USB card. This is my only viable option to make use of this laptop other than a paperweight.
The USB adapter will allow me to save files have installs and even add a usb wireless to that if I have troubles with the wifi card.
When I use the USBview I get an error asking if I compiled the Kernal, if I have the core modules loaded and the usbdevfs mounted.
I appreciate any help on how to go about getting what I need to work this out.
TIA
