I am trying to help a friend get Linux on his Dell computer. I have downloaded the latest version of Puppy (3.0) and burned it to a CD. Everything is fine until we try to connect to the internet. Puppy says it recognizes his modem, a Hayes Acura 56k Fax modem- model 808-03357, but it will not connec...

Wow!

I'm afraid these instructions are a bit beyond my understanding. I think we'll install a standard Hayes compatible modem and see if that works.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the prompt response. I'll give it a shot.

I have several standard type modems which I no longer need so, if all else fails, I might be able to convince my friend to install one.

After months of telling my friend about the virtues of Linux over Windows, he agreed to give it a try. I downloaded Seamonkey with full drivers and burned a CD.

I burned a new Multisession DVD, booted it, and said it was an updated session. When asked I inserted the DVD for ver 1.08 and there was a lot of activity saying data was being saved to 'root'. Then it asked me for a password. Didn't have a clue and after trying any I could think of (without success...

I screwed up! I had done the download and created the multiple session on a different computer. Then booted the other computer with Puppy DVD. At this time I did get a message asking me if this was a new installation and I said 'yes'. When I exited, the changes got saved to the DVD so when I Booted ...

I have been running Puppy ver 1.08 from a multisession DVD. I just downloaded the latest version and created a new multisession DVD.

Do I have to start from scratch in setting up the new version or is there a way to coppy old settings?
