General :: Wireless Puppy On An Old IBM T30?
Mar 2, 2010
I'm fairly new to linux, I can't get puppy to connect to ANY wireless network, protected or not. The driver autodetected my wireless card (IBM high rate wireless LAN with modem II) as an Intersil Prism 2.5 chipset, but it will not work. I wonder if the driver is corrupted, or if I should just use ndiswrapper with the windows drivers. Obviously, I would prefer to use native linux drivers, but the wrapper will not tax the system too much if I use that option. I have heard that these laptops are very linux friendly, and I ran xubuntu on it for quite some time with no big problems. My home router is a Belkin F6D4230-4 V3. This thing will not show up at all, but my family's old linksys will, I can't connect to it either.

I got a hp 3050J610 wireless all in one and hooked it up to my wireless network
and it works fine from windows vista from my hp notebook. I also run puppy 5.1
off a pen drive which runs fine on the laptop. Puppy sees my network fine and
goes on the internet from my satalite modem over the wireless network no problems.
I installed the wireless printer to puppy with the cups wizard without any errors or problems. Cups found the printer and correct ip address no problem. I used the 610c driver from the cups menu which I assume is the right one. I can't seem to find another one. It lists the printer and lists the right ip address. when I try to print it shows it is printing the print job but nothing happens at the printer. I look in the print manager and it shows the print job was done. I can ping the ip address and get a responce.

I am new to Linux and I am trying to install puppy on an old IBM thinkpad 600X (10gb hd, 196mb ram) When installing puppy from a cd, it loads up and does the kernel stuff before "Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives" - this takes about 10 minutes before saying "pup_421.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial ramdisk console" then it goes to "/bin/sh can't access tty; jon control turned off". then it stays like that and doesn't continue.

I have disks of Lucid Puppy 5.11 and MacPup 5.11. Both disks run very well on my laptop, an old 2001 model Sony Vaio which is already booting Ubuntu 10.04 UNE.
But neither finishes loading on my HP Pavilion a1020n desktop, which is running Windoze XP Home. They both bog down on looking for optical drives... interesting as I am loading them from CD and it reads the optical drives fine up to that point.
It's sad that a quick-loading portable Linux won't load at all on my newer, faster machine.
Maybe it's because the laptop has GRUB already? My HP chokes every time I try to modify the boot sector, lots of "wonderful" security features to keep Windoze from "getting corrupted".

I know there are many threads about dual boot linux windows. I did a search but couldn't find for this specific question. I'm planning to use Puppy Linux as my main OS on my P4 machine. I asked a friend of mine who knows Linux very well. I asked should I install Puppy alone on my P4 machine? He told me that I should dual boot with XP because sometimes Linux alone does not compatible with graphic card, sound card, Ethernet adapter, etc. If dual boot Linux with Windows. They both can share the same drivers. Is it true?

I'd like to know if I could update my installation via another pc if I backup my sfs and 2fs files and load it from another pc. I wonder if Puppy includes driver files specific for the pc upon creation of the sfs and 2fs files.

I have just booted to Puppy (for the first time in my life) on a 6 y/o amd type with a 40Gb HD, Ram: 512.I would like to make a permanent install of puppy onto the HD, I have read various pieces on how to install, defraging, repartitioning, differing file systems. However, i am a bit lost. The computer will be used for e-mail, web browsing, and watching the odd film (films installed on the drive) - I am unsure as to the best combination of file types and partition in order to keep puppy happy and keep some compatibility with the world outside of linux.
For instance, could i have a small partition with the puppy install and setting, and the rest on a format that would be compatible with windows/mac/linux? If so, how do I do this, pls bare in mind that my windows install is running but incomplete. I have the feeling this will be a really simple problem for someone to help me with,

im still a newbie but after long weeks discovering the best distro for my laptop and the my DWA-140 usb stick. i get a try with puppy. so far it's working stable but a lot of differences with the another "normal" distros. like fedora, suse, ubuntu etc. this one installs him self as a live boot cd to you HD. it's not possible to create more users.
another points but not important. my main question it's like the another distros Lucid puppy updates him selvs automatically to a newer version? just a quick point who has a D-LINK DWA 140 just need to get the windows .inf file from XP and use it to install with the software repo for windows inf files. that cames with puppy.
has the another distros also this utility tool? in the last puppy is a very stable and very very very easy to use distro from linux that use as base ubuntu!
