rerwin, thanks for your reply. Had almost given up with this, however, would like to try your suggestion. Try booting with "pfix=ram", to avoid interference from your previous attempts. How does one go about doing the above? My level of experience in these matters is just basic. Does one p...

Thanks for your reply. Version: 5.28 kernel: 2.6.33.2 Is that correct? Have you booted Lucid Puppy with the modem plugged in? If yes. What happens? Nothing! Have you tried to plug in the USB modem and run Internet Connection Wizard? (menu->Setup->Internet Connection Wizard) If yes. What happens? An ...

Should it be the Debian installation instructions, and the Debian Modem Driver Config_1.1_6, or something else? If the above is the correct choice, how does on f...

Got the 2 Desktops issue sorted out. Now there is only one Desktop icon on the lower bar. :D Thanks for the GUI, bigpup . As to the FireFox icon, that is another story... Got to it, but now there is a firefox.png on the Desktop. How do I get it to show the fox/world icon? Thanks again for the help.

Thank you for the replies!

@RSH
Have no clue what fbpanel, openbox, and jwm are. If you do not mind, please explain.

Just intalled Puppy a few days ago, and know nothing about it.

Also, how do I place a shortcut of FireFox on the Desktop?

Thanks again for the help!!

Decided to use a Live CD to install Lucid Puppy.

All went well, and according to the tutorial found here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=29653

The USB Flash drive install got too complicated.

Thanks for your help, though.

Have a great day!

Thanks for the info, maik.murks . If you don't like to get the requested files I sure do not understand why you think I 'do not like' to get the files??!! It has nothing to do with liking. I want to get the files, but, something happens, and the program pops up with a problem. Also, the USB flash dr...

Secondly did you elect to put the MBR in that partition when requested as part of the installation? Used the Universal Installer to attempt a full install t...

Trying to install Puppy Linux (Lucid) on an EEEPC with a 4GB SSD. Using UNetBootin and a USB flash drive to do so. Previously had EEEBuntu. Used GParted, created a new partition and a swap partition. Looked as if all went well. Removed the USB flash drive, and tried to reboot to Puppy. Keep getting ...
