I think Lobster requested a picture of the Classmate running PupEee. Here it is with the latest version up and running out of the box (or I should say iso). I am using a SD card now. At some point, I will do alway with Window$ on the solid state disk and replace it with Puppy.

Yes, Sage, it is in a 640x480 format for posting.

I hope this helps!

Well the JWM bug has to do with the /root/.jwmrc file getting re-written after the first boot. Maybe now is the time to bring back my control panel and save changes to /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal instead of /root/.jwmrc. Which is where they should really be anyways. Then I'd just get rid of the current JWM Configuration tool.

Okay here is a very stripped down version of my System-Tools control panel. Unfortunately I couldn't find my latest copy of it so I'm going to have to re-write a bunch of the tools. It is just for the newest version of Pupeee since it assumes that the jwm-vista theme is installed. I will upload a more generic version as well that should work in any version of Puppy. The only things that are enabled are the JWM configuration tools and the firewall tool. I took out some of the JWM options since they didn't work well with the Eeepc or Pupeee such as changing the try height. It fixes the JWM bug that has been bothering me. It requires murgaLua. MurgaLua has gone through some changes since this was written so if you want you can download it from here so that everything will work. Later I will test it with the newest version of murgaLua so it won't be an issue.

***UPDATE 2/23/08***
I changed it to work in Pupeee and any other version of Puppy so there is just one version of the control panel. It now works with the latest version of murgaLua so please download it from John's site linked below. I added the FTP tool as well. Please test and let me know how it works.

***UPDATE 2/28/08***
murgaLua is now included and you no longer have to download and install it separately. If you already have murgaLua installed it will use the included version to avoid conflicts in murgaLua versions. System Tools has been renamed to "Puppy Control Panel" or "PCP" for short.

For those that want a non-Pupeee version of System-Tools you can find it here.

As I said in my post in the Hardware/Network forum last night despite the leads kindly provided by dvw86 (Many Thanks) still no working wireless connection - So this morning I started with a fresh install of 3.01NOPr3 from a disk I know to be good and a new save file as a result. And thankfully the wired connection with the atl2 driver works! It still produces a message of "No new interfaces were detected" with the ath_pci module loaded though. Still that is progress - now with a working net connection I'll go ahead with some of the other tweaks. Anyone with ideas about the wireless connection feel free to comment - maybe we'll get that one working too.

Based on the Skype test call, the mic is not working. Is this a known issue in the latest Pupeee (with the black background)?

Ignoring the one marked old, I see an ISO at http://puppylinux.ca/members/Pupeee/ and another in the link there marked 2008-2-21 -- so which is newest?

Or am I in the wrong place entirely?

I've been having both hard- and software problems with my little Eeepc, and am ready to try another new OS (after eeedora, ubuntu, and debian).

Pupeee looks very hopeful -- if I can keep up. Youss guyss (non-sexist Minnesotese, all-inclusive plural) seem to be progressing hand over fist here!

I downloaded the Torsmo DotPup, clicked it in Rox but got an error message saying that the file may be corrupted or there is not enough space to unzip... DotPups are easy to use so I guess I am doing something wrong, please help.

2008-2-21 is the newest with the black theme.

I downloaded and burned one that was 131.4 MB -- put it into an external USB drive, plugged that into the eeepc, along with an 8 GB thumb drive, and a 4 GB SD card -- if that's what you call those things that also go in cameras; mine says SanDisk SDHC.

(I'm also in process of downloading again, and will burn a new CD, just in case.)

Maybe all the extras confused the hardware. It brought up a box that was supposed to tell me where it was getting the OS from, and the place where the name should've been was just empty -- not even a blank, just a space and a comma.

That was odd, because the list of all the things I had plugged in seemed to be both accurate and complete.

Anyway, it ended up refusing to believe it was on the CD drive, and going into contradictions from there.

I'll try again today with only the CD drive connected. Stay tuned.
