Puppy On Laptops
Thinkpad X22
384 MB Ram
800 Mhz P111
Broadcom wireless card added on minipci
Puppy versions I have run successfully
4.1
4.2.1
4.3
Browserlinux
Lupu
All ran fine with no problems setting up. Screen brightness buttons and the the little light in the top of the screen housing all work, I think these are all hardware controlled anyway.
Trackpoint (eraserhead) works on all installations I have tried and is set up on boot.
All in all, no problems to report.

Here's one for ya CatDude!
Got a Compaq cq61, 2+gigCPU, 2GRam, Hard dive took a dump..
I'm booting Frugal, from the micro sd card in the sprint/sierra gprs modem!
Lupu 5.20. Everything works so far. Internet connects via ethernet, wireless, or the sprint pcs Modem! Pretty peppy! I am posting this on it now.. using wireless cause sprint service is about the very worst I ever seen.... I'm positive dial-up is twice as Fast.... Seriously.
RP
Note: before I give this CQ61 back to it's owner.
For some reason the micro sd card in the sierra[Sprint] gprs modem is Not Found at Boot, Unless, the ac power adapter is Disconnected!
Tried it numerous times... with ac adapter micro sd Not Found, Without Adapter, micro sd card [puppy install] Found!
Strange, but That's what works for me! And regular USB flash drive is found Regardless!

Puppy 5.2 don't create the lupusave file
I recently purchased an HP Pavilion DV6 laptop with Intel i7 64-bit, ATI HD 5600 1GB. I want to know which version of Puppy is the most suitable for recognition hardware. I tried to install Puppy 5.2 from the CD but does not create the lupusave file when I go out and reboot. Thanks in advance for the help.
Puppy 5.2 don't create the lupusave file
with fatdog64 I have the same problem i have with puppy5.2. When I reboot does not start the process of creating the save file.oui wrote:fatdog64 works great!
only sorry about the unusual mixture of standard programs compared with puppy...
So every time I reboot is the first time.
I've tried them all on this MSI Wind and without a doubt the best Puppy for me is Puppeee. Everything is good now

Re: Puppy 5.2 don't create the lupusave file
It isn't the best way, but I solved the problem in this way:eeepuppy wrote:with fatdog64 I have the same problem i have with puppy5.2. When I reboot does not start the process of creating the save file.oui wrote:fatdog64 works great!
only sorry about the unusual mixture of standard programs compared with puppy...
So every time I reboot is the first time.
I booted from cd on a desktop Puppy5.2 and I created a lupusave file with nothing.
I restarted the desktop and I copied the newly created file on a pendrive.
I inserted the pendrive in the laptop and I started Puppy 5.2.
Puppy5.2 recognized the lupusave file and uploaded it, so I completed the quick start Puppy. The first time you reboot, it seems that it is not done correctly the closure procedure. On the next reboot, the changes were saved and then took over the classic procedure at the end of the session.
I solved and I hope I have helped others to solve a problem, however, shows a bug of Puppy5.2 at least in the configuration I mentioned.
On the MSI U100 Netbook, fn-F3 disables the touchpad Now I need a script to do this everytime I boot upracepres wrote:Open/Lift the keyboard, and unplug the darn thing...

I thought would add my old lappy to the thread...
Samsung V25 (A christmas gift in 2002, the XP Home gave of the ghost a couple of years ago.)
Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 1GB ram
Intel 82845G.GL Brookdale Graphics Chip
Intel Audio
Belkin 7010 PMCIA Wireless (RT2500 driver)
2XUSB1.0
This was a very well build laptop which was top of the line at the time. The XP installation finally got so slow it was unusable. I first tried Linux on it with live CD's in 2006, and all ran reasonably well.
However, ever since April 2010 (or the introduction of the KMS into the kernel), the graphics chip has work very, very few of the newer kernels, and even when it does work, it still intermitently crashes. On most distros with 2.6.29 or later, it just will not run stably.
I found that PCLinux)S 2010 seems to be the most stable, though it also crashes, but much less frequently. I just did a frugal install of Lupu 5.2, and it too has difficulty with this graphics chip. It DOES boot to a desktop with i915.modeset=0 as a kernel parameter, but will fail to boot to a desktop about 2 out of five boots.
However, when it does boot to a desktop, EVERYTHING works beautifully and little or no configuration is necessary.
So, for all of those laptop owners with this chipset, my condolences. It looks like it may some time soon just require that this old computer be put out to pasture. But for now, there seems to be plenty of life left in her.
