1.0.7 multisession suddenly asking for password

Good morning, I have been using Puppy for some time now and I have a 1.07 Multisession disk that has been working flawlessly. This AM, I pop my CD into the machine at work I have been using it on and I get asked for a password. "exec : 416:/root/.etc/rc.d/rc.local0: not found" is the error...

OK. So persistance paid off.
The script ended up needing to be:

modprobe ndiswrapper
sleep 5
iwconfig wlan0 essid "wireless"
sleep 5
dhcpcd wlan0

Glad to have it working, thanks for the nudge down the right path!
Best regards,
Jamie

So, back to the drawingboard.
I have tried the scripts as you advised and I can't get the DHCP to boot straight away.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks for the quick reply! Well, I moved the sleep 5 to it's own line and that did it. Works like a charm. I did add the static IP and then the next line to remove it. That worked....every other reboot. The reboots that would not work would throw an error saying something about the file being too b...

Can't get DHCP to work on boot

Hello there fellow Puppy users. I have an older machine I am giving to a friend for his 3 year old son. Puppy seems to be the perfect OS for the kid (And maybe the family if they use it and fall in love with it as I have!) I have a DWL-G510 Dlink wireless card in the machine. Through this forum, I h...
