Installed to the hard drive. Not sure about xorgwizard so I'd say "no"; it just goes straight to 640x480.

(Solved) Resolution changes don't persist

I just got Puppy 5.2.5 working on my rebuilt system and it went pretty smooth but I've got one problem I haven't cracked yet.

Got the internal wifi working. It took the use of 2.13 and a fair amount of horsing around but I did get wifi connectivity. It's awfully unpleasant since it's slower then a dialup modem and very...choppy. IRC and HTTP will do nothing for five or ten minutes and then it'll just take off. Not sure wha...

How to get wireless going on Acer 3680

Got an Acer 3680 for Christmas and while wifi works peachy under XP I'd like to get it working under *nix. Puppy loaded up nicely and I can connect no problem via my DSL with either Win or Puppy but not via Wifi on Puppy. The Acer uses the Atheros AR5005G chip set and I was on #puppylinux for a coup...
