Lobster, I had the same problem at first. I used the gparted app on the puppy live disk to reformat the USB pen drive to FAT32 and set the flag to bootable - the universal installer then ran like a dream, same for SD card and internal SSD!

I am having problems compiling the files required for the cac reader. Here are the directions.

I have Pupeee on the internal card on the 4gig Eeepc with 1gig ram

I am running into errors, I have never compiled before, so not understanding the error. I also cant copy and paste from the console to show you the errors

Can anybody try to compile these?.

I have devx set up, and it starts compiling, but something is going wrong in the make process.

I started a new post on this at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=30126

whodo i tried ezpup4 with pupee4b on eee took forever did not seem to install properly.tried to uninstall ,created other problems. so i refomatted hdc reinstalled pupee4b all is well now. i may try ezpup3 as it worked well on pupeee3
lobster i used desktop puppy3 to format usb key to fat 16 with gparted, then use universal installer to put pup on key. then you can boot usb key on the eee, use gparted to clean out xandros and delete the rest. create and partion eee to ext3 use univesal installer put puppy on the eee. oh and i ran pupeee4b live cd on desktop with puppy3. i have done the same thing using sd cards. i found out if your sd card or usb key seems to be buggered use gparted to reformat to fat16. once i cleaned out the hdc on my 2 gig eee and put pupeee i went from about 400mbs to 1.4g of free space i am very impressed, take care.

i have us robotics 5637 usb modem. pupeee4 hdc install. usbview sees it.
i tried ndis,loaded all modules non worked. the inf file came off the cd that came with modem. from what i saw this modem works on other linux. i searhed the net and this site for a few days no luck yet. this would make a great usb modem for dial up for th eee. i checked it on win box it works ok.


thank you

I've installed pupeee on my EEE and it works really well (mainly I can connect to my wireless network)

The one thing I cant do is get printing to work with my HP LJ2600 (which
I could do with Xanadros). I've downloaded foo2zjs and compiled it (I had to install the devx301.sfs) before I could compile foo2zjs.

I then added to CUPS an hp2600n color lasterjet.

CUPS says that it is installed ok, but it wont print. If I look in the error log (/var/log/cups/error_log) the only error message I get is:

/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip stopped with status 3!

Has anyone got an hp lj2600 to work with puppeee?
Am I doing something stupid?
