If run without options, ms-sys will inspect your current boot record e.g. # ms-sys mbr.bin mbr.bin has an x86 boot sector, it is a Microsoft 2000/XP/2003 master boot record, like the one this program creates with the switch -m on a hard disk device. Note: Last time I checked Puppy came with an old v...

Would that pet be broadcom sta driver for puppeee?

Yes, I think it is

Hmm... give this a try:
http://puppeee.com/files/Drivers/wl_5.60.48.36-atom.pet

I found it while searching Jemimah's server for the Puppeee kernel source (which I couldn't find for 2.6.33.2atom)

My question is: can I use this PET package in Puppeee 4.3? I'd say I can't, right? Probably because kernel version is not the same. No, probably not. The driver would need to be rebuilt using Puppeee's kernel source. I don't have an eeepc, but I'll see if I can get puppeee to boot in a VM and build...

Great! Glad it works now.

One thing, though. You don't need to install the broadcom_sta .pet with my patched iso.
It already has the driver built-in.

Hi zamah,

The first thing I'd try is Frisbee network manager
A pet for lupu can be downloaded from here.

If that doesn't work, what is the output of the following command? That should tell me what broadcom device you have.

I guess try again a little later, and if it still doesn't work, let me know and I'll reupload it.

edit: nevermind, you got it working

Huh, link works fine here?

maybe try wget

Upload finished

lupu_xz-525.iso
md5sum: 7233bf87f2015f6708f74bbf3398ced9

Sure, no problem
Uploading to my dropbox account now...

One thing I noticed though was that it had to search all sub folders for the main sfs, even though the sfs was in the root of the drive.
Strange

Seems to be working ok here.

I added your kernel to lupu 525 and compressed the main sfs with xz.
That shrunk the ISO down to about 109M (from 128M)

Lupu devx.sfs is down to 117M (from 139M)

I can upload my ISO if anybody wants it.

Cool, thanks.

Does this kernel have the new xz compression for squashfs enabled? (CONFIG_SQUASHFS_XZ)

davids45, thanks for testing.

If requested, I can create delta files for other Puppies.
I'll probably create some for the upcoming Quirky 1.5 and Puppy 5.2.1 releases, since I'll be using those.

Thanks for the feedback, everybody. I'm glad you have found this helpful. For anybody interested, here is a small (about 3.4MB) Xdelta patch you can apply to the original lupu-520.iso to add support for Broadcom STA. After applying the delta patch, your wifi should "just work". Tested on m...

The html5 side is noticeably smoother on my netbook.

Huh, weird.

I was actually working on a similar project with BaCon, I even chose the same name.
I never got very far with mine, though, only an unfinished GUI.

Oh well, good job.
I'll download yours and give it a try

Hi, try the driver below:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 596#421596

Works on my Dell Mini 10v (1011) with a bcm4312

Thanks for testing.

I was unsure if the pet was working for anybody but me

Great stuff, Peter.

In such a short amount of time, I have already gotten further with BASIC and BaCon than I have ever gotten with the other languages I've tried.

Thanks a lot, keep up the good work!

Grub4dos is more flexible than the original Grub. Grldr and menu.lst can be located on any partition on any hard drive, as long as it's a supported filesystem and the BIOS can access the drive.

Pretty cool
