If you're prepared to move up to Puppy 5.1/5.2, this now has a new opensource driver called rt2800usb which might work. Moving to Puppy Linux 5.1.1 was successful and my Tenda W541U USB Wireless adapter was then recognised, so I have been able to connect to the internet. Many Thanks for your help. :D

Puppy 5.1.1

I tried the Puppy 5.1.1 Live CD and then indtalled it to /dev/sda1

When I reboot I get a grub error 15 missing file, which I think is vmlinuz.
I have done a file search of all files but I cannot find it.

I would welcome suggestions for overcoming this problem.

That's not the driver I recommended. My version of the rt3070sta driver (rt3070sta-v2.1.2.0-k2.6.30.5.pet) includes: - a modules preference configuration file, to avoid a conflict with the rt2870sta driver - WPA compatibility in the Network Wizard - recognition of 2 extra USB device ID's - correct ...

Fun - Xshisen

I have downloaded my first pet package xshisen-1.51.pet and installed it. I can see Xshisen in the Fun menu, but when I click on it the game does not start.

Please can someone suggest a possible cause.
Thank you
