UEFI Installer error "Failed to mount the CD!"

I am trying to create a Xenial 7.5 flash drive. I booted from an Xenial 7.5 cd, and started the UEFI installer for flash drives. When I get to the prompt "Please choose where the puppy files are located", I select CD, and press OK. I then get an error message "Failed to mount the CD! ...

My problem was resolved by perdido providing me an alternate site to download the pet that was recommended by bigpup. See the following post for the download site: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=110812 This was the easy fix, because it did not require me to compile the driver, and ...

Thanks, Perdido! I installed the pet, and after removing/reinserting the device, wlan0 was immediately seen. One scary moment though. Even though wlano was now seen in in the Network Interfaces tab (Frisbee), I was seeing no access points on the Wireless Networks tab. I had to use the Change Interfa...

I have built the driver for a selection of Puppies and packaged them in a single tarball. Code: 8192eu_mange_huge_s32_700-k3.16.43.pet 8192eu_mange_huge_s64_700-k4.9.30.pet 8192eu_precise_571_mange-k3.9.11.pet 8192eu_slacko_630_mange-k3.14.55.pet 8192eu_slacko64_6967_mange-k4.4.67.pet 8192eu_tahr_6...

I checked, and my kernel is 3.14.55. I just downloaded and created my frugal Slacko 6.3.2 a few days ago, so I assumed it had all of the latest stuff. Looking around for how to update the kernel, and it doesn't look easy. Since I'm just trying to create a new system, and I am more than willing to st...

OK. I've made it past the previous error at the "make ARCH..." line. Here's the new error message: make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/3.14.55/build M=/initrd/mnt/dev_save/wifi_adapter/RTL8188 8192EUS_linux_v4.3.0.4_11485.20140519/driver/rtl8188EUS_linux_v4.3.0.4_11485.20140519 m...

MAKE error compiling driver for wireless device

This is the first time I have ever tried to compile a driver. This is the line in the install script... make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/3.14.55/build M=/root/my-documents/RTL8188 8192EUS_linux_v4.3.0.4_11485.20140519/driver/rtl8188EUS_linux_v4.3.0.4_11485.20140519 modules ...and this i...
