Hello, I have just installed puppy 412 and was wondering whether anyone had any luck with watching tv via an 'Easy TV card' SAA7130 chipset. I have the following from dmesg but my card doesn't appear on the list. Any ideas as to what the next stage should be? thanks in advance for any help ian saa71...

Gents, Thanks for the quick replies. My daughters instal was taking up the whole hard drive ie not a frugal one. When I looked on her machine I couldn't find the files initrd.gz vmlinuz pup_215.sfs The only way I could find of obtaining them was to do the cd remaster, store the iso and associated fi...

I have a windows pc that dual boots to puppy215 using the following files menu.lst boot.ini grldr My daughter has a machine that has the whole hard drive dedicated to puppy ie no windows. In order to transfer her puppy install to the windows pc I copied her initrd.gz vmlinuz pup_215.sfs files to the...

I hope someone can help with this problem. I am trying to print from puppy 301 to a HP Deskjet D1470 connected to a pc called 'MAIN' running windows XP home. I have set up CUPS 1.1.23 and when I send a test print the job appears in the XP printer job window, the printer makes the usual preliminary c...

I have been using Linneighborhood to access shared folders on a windows xp machine for some time.
Is it possible to do the same thing with an apple mac machine instead of the windows xp machine?

Thanks in advance for any help

Just got the above USB wireless network adaptor (less than £10 incl postage from ebay) working with puppy 3.01. The 'Connect' wizard allocated driver rt2570 to this adaptor but has no WPA support. I blacklisted this driver and loaded rt73 and all works perfectly with native WPA supported. The easies...

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if its possible to use a light pen/touch screen device instead of a mouse with puppy and a standard CRT screen.
Any chance?
Thanks

Great news to one and all. I'm now writing this wirelessly using wpa and the rt61 chipset. Here's what I ended up doing. First installed tempestuous/ramjet303's rt61-cvs-200705-k2.6.18.1.pet Then put this script into rc.local #start wireless network connection ifconfig ra0 down ifconfig ra0 192.168....

tempestuous/ramjet303,
Thanks for all the advise, I havn't been able to return to this issue for a few days, I'll try and work through the suggestions over the next week.
Thanks again

Thanks for the suggestions but I couldn't get any of them to work. First I couldn't use dhcpcd as whenever I tried I didnt get an ip address and the card went down so I had to use a static ip address. 1. With Rutilt it showed as I was connected but I couldn't browse the internet or ping the router. ...

This indicates that the latest wpa_supplicant is not being used. Get it here - http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=105093#105093 Uncompress this package from the uppermost directory. tempestuous, I did this but still get the same Unsupported driver 'ralink'. message. Edit:Just for the ...

Thanks for the reply, I've now gone back to a completly new 'install' running puppy from the live CD and not saving the pupsave file when exiting. I amended the wpa_supplicant.conf file and ensured that rt61 had been loaded automatically using lsmod Following the instrutions provided I did a sh-3.00...

If I scan after the result of iwconfig shows the strange " behaviour then the list is empty. If I scan after the result of iwconfig does not show the strange " behaviour (as in post one) then the network essid appears. I suppose that this might indicate that the strange " behaviour ne...

Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried what you suggested but could not connect to the wireless router. /etc/ra0mode now shows ifconfig ra0 192.168.1.77 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 up route add -net default gw 192.168.1.1 iwconfig ra0 essid "zoelucy" mode managed /etc/ra0...

I have a belkin wireless card with the above chip and have finally connected to an open network using the network wizard. Incidentally I found I needed to add a line iwconfig ra0 essid "zoelucy" mode managed to the end of /etc/ra0mode. Now I'm moving on to enabling WPA, before I start do I...

John Doe, Thanks for the quick reply and suggesting the network wizard. On my main machine, which has no trouble connecting, I went directly to the static ip button in the wizard and looked at the file that it created-then copied the output over the ifconfig ra0 up line so that it read ifconfig ra0 ...

I've so impressed with puppy on my main PC that I'd like to use it on a another PC in the house. At the moment I connect on the main PC (Wireless card chip Ralink RT2500) at start up with the following script (provided at least in part from forum members) in /etc/rc.d/rc.local echo "Trying to g...

Many thanks Mark,
That worked a treat.
I'm now listening to music stored on my main puppy pc through my hi-fi via my puppy laptop, and all wirlessly.

How can I share another directory called /mnt/sda/

Many thanks for you help
