Sorry ended up working a very long day to day but here is an update.

SD cards recognized if in @ boot but I have some info on getting hotplug to work I will play with that.

Wireless works and was able to connect with wep

Will have openbox and cairo dock and previous software.

Mic and soundcard work but volumes are low on both still hoping to get alsa compiled for mu .27 kernel, and that this will fix this.

Haven't even looked at suspend yet but hope to have something working.

currrent version still working on the next one.

I'm also trying to get tethering to work over USB with my Windows Mobile 6 phone. Should be easy, just requires 3 complied files from latest version of rndis-lite as explained in the forum here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=251827#251827
Easy enough, just substituting 3 files out for a newer compiled version.

Problem is, if this goes to a later beta kernel those 3 files will need to be recompiled, and the developer in that thread won't be able to as he's on 2.6.25.16. Is this something you might be able to wrap in as you're working on this? It would give the ability for anybody with a WM6 phone to use Internet Connection sharing on their phone and use their phone as their internet connection without having to deal with arcane and semi-random GPRS modem settings that the carriers don't like to release and half the time give incorrect info about....

Thanks for all your work,
Alley

I have just tested the acerone puppy (with ath0 and eth0 build in) on my Asus EEE 900 as well as on my friends Acer One

wireless, sound and camera are working on both

sound is not very loud though but that appears to be the case with all puppy distros on all computers I have tested so far.

But it is great that it is working (especially wireless), one singe puppy on the two most popular netbook (mini laptop) computers of today.

Can anybody test it on a MSI wind?

There really should be a general Puppy4Netbooks distro on the main puppylinux.org site!

addition:

SD &SDHC cards are recognized by Asus EEE 900 but indeed not by the Acer yet. But that is a detail. Can't wait for the final version though

I have the sd cards recognized on the aspire one but they have to be inserted before booting.

I found the same thing myself when I tried the 411 iso. Also, I couldn't get the "double-tap for left mouse click" working on the trackpad, even though I enabled it.

Jaycb, I had trouble with that at first, but discovered it worked after creating the save file, rebooting with the save file, then making the change, then rebooting.

ymmv.... for me worked like a charm after that.

Thanks Alley, I'll try that.
Thinking about it, it's pretty obvious really if it's running "live".
Doh!

Any available pet to get wireless work with wep yet?
It feels wrong to use a cable on a laptop Sad

I will be posting the new iso based on the .27 kernel, wep works out of the box. Look for it tonight.
