jcoder, Thank you for your help. I downloaded the kernel source files and tried again. This time it does do a config, but has an error as per this screenshot. When I try to use the puppy internet connection to dial out, it finds the modem, but has an input/output error. Oh, linuxant has also wrecked...

Seems all is very quiet. . . I have made some progress since my first post, but still no working modem. Here is what I have done and where I am (All downloads done, as explained in my first post, in PCLinuxOS): I installed dotpuphandler-0.0.4-2.pet, which made it possible for me to install Unrpm.und...

It seems that I have to ask (yet again) for some help. I have a HP/Compaq laptop with a HSF Conexant modem. On the internal hard drive I am running PCLinuxOS, have installed the Linuxant drivers for the modem, and paid my money for unrestricted speed. It works well. They say that this license applie...

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed them. It was a lot of fun taking them!
Did you see the wild camel and two kangaroos on the salt flat in the first one?

I'm using Puppy 3.98 and love the look of the wallpaper. But it looks cold. . . The thought crossed my mind (as an expat Aussie) that an Aussie pic might make a nice change, especially for a dingo! A couple of years ago we took some photos at a lovely little desert in S.A. You can have a look at htt...

I've been trying Puppy for a few years now, but could never use it because it wouldn't drive my hp printers. Finally Puppy is a viable os for me!
Congrats to all, especially lluamco.

Finally Puppy is a viable os for me! A combination of 2.17 and the hplip pet discussed here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 01&t=20495
has made my Puppy print.
Congrats to all, especially lluamco.

Solved! Thanks HairyWill. Your suggestion showed me that the swap partition manager was the culprit. Problem was, when I partitioned the hard disk, I made hda1 the swap partition. Seems Puppy couldn't cope with that. Re-partitioned the hd with hda1 the filesystem and hda2 the swap and all is sweet. ...

I'd appreciate any advice on this one. Hardware is: Toshiba Dynabook 600mhz processor, 128m ram, 12gig HDD - partitioned with 500meg linux swap partition, the rest EXT3. Puppy is installed frugal with Antix (Lightweight Mepis). Puppy live CD runs perfectly and quickly. Monitor on taskbar correctly s...

Thanks purple_ghost. I have used Xubuntu which prints straight out of the box, and I am going to try Beatrix soon. But I was hoping that Puppy would do the trick as in every other way it's my preferred distro. I'm using 2.15CE as I fondly hoped that someone may have got the printing right in it, but...

Trapster: I downloaded the cups pup file and installed it. It found the ppd file for HP4100 series printers that I had previously had made and saved in /root - all was well. After cups installed I got the nice pup message telling me how to install a new printer using the Seamonkey interface. I follo...

Iv'e been trying puppy for the last couple of years, and love the concept and the presentation. The only thing that stops me from using it as my default os is its printer support (or lack thereof). So finally, in frustration, here I am posting on the forum. I have two HP printers, a PSC1510 and a De...
