Thank you so much young man. Of course I don't trust Linux (or any other OS), though I'm pretty sure Linux isn't out to get me... More than that, however, how can anyone trust that granny really is a granny after the above apparently stereotypical but over-the-top-so comment? :-) [/u] where did tha...

So nice of you to take the time to explaine in details to a noob with such modesty and not making fun of my ignorance. Thank you so much young man. one more question if you don't mind (or anyone else that can take the time to reply. can you please explaine in simple terms what is the diffrence betwe...

The 2.17 has a newer kernel, and the kernel of 2.16 seems to make winmodems happy enough. :) I wonder if using the "retro" version of 3.01 will fix the problem (the "retro" uses the same kernel as version 2.16). sorry folks if my question is already answered somewhere in the for...

Please don't get me wrong guys.but.......... with all them Puppy's derivatives ......Is B.K or someone is examining them for evil stuff? another question....I use 2.16 ,Is there any risks in using old kernel? one more question :oops: that script that pizzasgood posted in page 2 of this topic.would i...

My first excursions into Linux Penguin land, I was very suspicious. Those Linux Lads are all hackers and deviants trying to find out info I wouldn't tell my psychiatrist . . . They wrote viruses. The were anarchic weirdos. They were dangerous. That is what I thought. LOL.. :lol: maybe its a mistake...

my bad oops ,I forgot to thank Ez4arabs. Thank you soooooooooo much. I would like to be sure of all you did to make this work. Is it as simple as using the "pci=routeirq" or did you do more? Thanks for continuing the quest. Richard It must be beginners's luck because I was shooting in the ...

Thank you so much Richard for your time , Good thing I have lots of free time...LOL Time for Granny to do the victory dance http://i33.tinypic.com/29c6fmc.gif Go granny,go granny,go granny...LOL and the fix was a line read in the boot thingy where it says try pci=routeirq .....I knew it had to be a ...

Thanks for showing up EZ4arabs :lol: unfortunately win98SE tp configuration tools doesn't have these options,just enable/disable a device. as for IRQ/IO I tried every posssible combo both using quick boot or not and in every case that error about inserting the mwave mod which means (Ithink) that the...

Where are you EZ4arabs?!
How the heck did you get it work??????

can test this easily by having you use the BootManager to add "mwave" to the list of modules to load at bootup. That should trigger the rest of the setup that supports the "modem". (I assume you now have a pup_save file in your frugal installation, needed for BootManager to work...

granny, So please set up a frugal installation of Puppy 4.0 on your TP, and then post the content of /tmp/bootsysinit.log and the output from the System>PupScan tool for "PCI Interfaces" (so I can see the hardware ID numbers, to be sure Puppy looks for them). Or just report that it works ...

I think the problem with puppy 2.17 not detecting the internal Thinkpad 600 modem is that 'puppyserialdetect' does not detect it. I had to use acpi=force as a kernel parm in order for the system to detect the modem tty. dmesg shows the rear 9 pin serial and internal modem as ttyS0 and ttyS1 respect...

Hi Folks which puppy :lol: would you recommend for mymodest ThinkPad770X laptop? I saw couple of topics related to setting up the modem,I am an experienced windows users but from what I've been reading that is useless when using linux,so I would appreciated very much if you can help granny . my lap...
