Hi, I'm using the slacko version from http://distro.ibiblio.org named puppy_slacko_5.3.1.sfs which I've had a few weeks. Where can I get the latest version from? I noticed the one on that site is now named slacko_5.3.1-SCSI-MAIN.sfs This is a bit confusing. On this same laptop hard drive I can boot ...

Just to add a little more information about this problem.I'm using a laptop with builtin keyboard and synaptics touch pad.Slacko finds these at bootup and they work.Having booted up and gone to the System>Hardware-Information menu I find the usb wireless combo is listed in the USB Devices but not in...

Hi, I'm trying slacko for the first time.When I boot up it doesn't find my wireless mouse keyboard combo.I have to unplug the usb transceiver and put it back in after booting for slacko to discover it.Is there a way to get it to find the wireless device automatically at boot up as other puppy linux ...

I should have made it clear from the outset that I wanted to boot to different versions of puppy linux and have them live independently of each other on my hard drive.I have at least learned that I can already have multiple pup_save files for a particular puppy linux and I'll automatically be given ...

Thanks for the replies, I hadn't realized about the multiple pup_save[-----].2fs files which can be in the same partition as the pup_300.sfs and will appear on a select menu at boot up. I will take advantage of this in future. All these attempts to have multiple partitions have led me into another p...

Doesn't look as if anybody is going to come back to me on this.I just want to keep puppy 2.17 which I've spent some time adding to while at the same time trying puppy 3.00 and beginning to build it up. I think I've achieved it but not understanding how puppy actually works I've had to take a blunder...

When puppy boots what script is it running when it scans the hard disk partitions looking for a pup_save file.Could this be modified to direct it to a particular partition.At present I have multiple pup_save files but I have to rename them or shift them to a sub directory so that only the one I want...

I've been using a Safecom usb wifi adpator chipset zd1211 with puppy 2.17 for awhile now.It allows me wpa encryption as an option which I consider a must.Yesterday I downloaded and tried puppy 3.00 but the network wizard wont allow wpa encryption as an option for zd1211rw.I assume this is an oversig...

Just a note for any one using xfe file manager which I really like. I added the following to my fstabs file /dev/hdc /mnt/hdc-iso iso9660 ro 0 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/hdc-udf auto ro 0 0 and created the directories /mnt/hdc-iso and /mnt/hdc-udf The great thing is that xfe integrates with puppy really well n...

Thankyou,
"mount -t udf /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom"
worked fine and I got access to the dvd from xfe my file manager.I wonder whether I could modify mut to do this for me like it does with an iso format cdrom.

I've just burned a DVD from windows with alot of the linux stuff I seem to be acumulating.I used the UDF format to avoid long filename corruption.Then I booted puppy linux to get access to it but it wont mount.Have I made a mistake using UDF or can puppy be made to access this format.

Thankyou so much
Problem solved by changing single quotes to back tick above tab key.('-->`)
I can't understand why it worked in the console of vector linux but it doesn't
matter because I want to stick with puppy it boots so much more quickly from the hard disk.

Thanks for the reply I've now tried this whole thing with vector linux and gtk1 compiles in a console and in the make file. Convincing me I'm not being a fool about what I expect to happen. I tried your suggestion and got the following in the console sh-3.00# gcc 'pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0' 'pkg-co...

I'm trying to get to grips with linux and programming. I have the Wrox book beginning linux programming.If I take the first gnome gtk+ example called gtk1.c and issue on the command line the following in a terminal gcc -Wall-o gtk1 gtk1.c 'pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0' I get pkg-config --cfla...

I have done some further investigations.The alsa sound wizard modifies modprobe.conf by adding the lines # --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- # --- ALSACONF verion 1.0.8 --- alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci alias sound-slot-0 snd-cmipci # --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- t...

I'm reposting this problem because I didn't realise that the bugs section was more appropiate to it. I have a pci sound card and built in mother board sound.When I run the alsa sound wizard I can switch successfully from the mother board to the pci sound card but on rebooting the sound returns to mo...
