My post was to see if anyone here has had any experience with an X205TA. I've used many different Pups over the last few years and can follow instructions and hints. But experimenting and testing is not my forte as I don't know how to code what needs to be done. The Atom will boot and run on ubuntu ...

Thanks, but that's not the question. I know the processor is powerful enough, but the combo 32 bit EFI/boot and OS on a 64 bit processor is an odd combo. I will use a USB to try it, I just want to know if anyone has had luck.

Thanks for responding. We're all learners.

The Atom in the Asus netbook uses an odd system; 64 bit processor, 32 bit OS, with 32 bit boot loader. I love puppy linux but can't make any 'Nix go on this rig. Anyone know if Bionicpup32 will boot and run on my processor? Or what I need to do patch it? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The easiest way I did several EEEpcs was to use an external optical drive. Dpup 5.28 iso is my guess for best results. Burn iso to cd using any OS. Boot EEE to cd. Install to SDHC card, using universal installer. That keeps the original OS intact. I still have xandros on my 4 GB 900a. Many Pups run ...

Frugal on 16GB SDHC

No luck in Fbpanel and network_tray is in root/startup.

I'll probably just start from scratch again. It does hot take long with puppy.

I hosed my 5.28 somehow. I can connect automatically to the wifi networks I use, but no icon shows in the right side of the tray. (It used to). I'd like to get it back without having to do a fresh install. I've been running Puppy since 4.03B, and this is the first time I've had this happen. Maybe no...

Thx, guys.
Help>about>check for updates says FF 17 ESR is up to date.

I'll try the tarball solution.

Thanks again.

Slacko 5.7 has FF 17 ESR built in. I would like to replace it with FF 33. Any ideas how to do it?

nooby, never used flashgot, but I have removed and replaced FF.
It only takes a couple of minutes to do this.
That way you get a clean FF.
Export your bookmarks to HTML before doing a clean install.

If FF was installed via .pet, use PPM to uninstall package, and re-install an older FF pet; then let FF update.

Thanks, dancytron.

Will try when I get home

I feel like a new newbie. I've been using 5.25 and decided to update to 5.7.1 Precise. EEEpc w/ 1.6GHz Atom 2 GB RAM. I installed 5.7.1 to a fresh SDHC 16 GB card. Boots fine; Everything works so far. However, glx gears is showing much slower frame rates than it did under 5.25 w/ xorg-hi driver. So ...

THX! nilsonmorales

TV8 pet works fine, except puppy to windows 7 works, but not the reverse..

I don't have need for win to Pup right now, so this will work fine.

I will try to sort out why win to Pup won't connect.

OO4 .sfs is what I use, as I don't need OO loaded at start every day. Use load with sfs on the fly as needed.

That was the answer, Galbi.

I have Home Premium, So it looks lik it can't be done without some other software on the Win 7 box.

Thanks to all for the help.

THX, mike. Yes, i tried my individual inet addy.... 198.162.0.3 for the win 7 box. Still refused to connect. I checked /etc/hosts on my Puppy Lucid box and noticed that there were 3 or 4 ip addys, but they had a 1 instead of a 0. should I change the hosts file? BTW. The setup consists of an Actionte...

Thanks. Port appears to be open, but still connection refused.

If you're having problems with a 170MB OS, get a 3-5 GB OS like Uboo or winslow. They will hold your hand while you wait.

rdesktop won't connect. Connection refused error. Both my Puppy and win 7 boxes have the same IP address.... it;s the router address. Any idea of what I'm doing wrong. I run rdesktop (IP address) from console, with no luck. Win 7 has allow remote connection checked. I can ping my router, but I can't...

Battery life for me, too, is terrible, using permasu's non-PAE Precise.
I got less than 1 hour use.

I get 2.5 hours from 5.25 lucid.

Edit: Also, CPU temp went from 44c to 55c at idle.
