I have a Compaq laptop with a BCM43xx built-in wifi card which works out of the box in Puppy 213. Scans for wireless perfectly, never fails me. I have used 214 and 215CERC1 without success. Yes I have followed all the suggestions about unloading the faulty driver and using my own driver with ndiswra...

I love my pup so much that I am fearful that I will kill him with kindness. (He actually has perished a number of times this month!)
To this end I would like to totally replicate my current version and all of the packages I have installed, onto another pendrive.
Any suggestions?

All of the wonderful suggestions above worked perfectly - no more firefox hangs!
Best of all, I have a much clearer understanding of how puppy linux works. Thanks guys!

Firefox 2.0.0.2 crashes regularly, which is a shame, with Puppy 213, on my system. I installed Opera and really like it, but miss not having a flash plugin. Is there a workaround?

Just tried Puppy 2.14 on a Toshiba L35-S2161 with an Atheros AR500G card. Puppy sees Atheros card and loads ath_pci driver. Puppy doesn't see the wireless router. Have no problems connecting to the same router with windows. Also, not related to wifi: when I go to shut down or reboot, puppy hangs. I...

Following a suggestion from rarsa, I tried to manually install vncserver using: dotpuprox.sh tightvncserver-1.2.9-0.7.pup When I do this I get the following: sh-3.00# dotpuprox.sh /root/tightvncserver-1.2.9-0.7.pup Archive: /root/tightvncserver-1.2.9-0.7.pup testing: dotpup.sh OK testing: dotpup.tar...

Last time I used puppy (pendrive install) I had 200+ meg of free memory. Now it is 18.2
I installed firefox, but that is it. What can I do to recover from this low figure (other than starting from scratch)

I am a puppy lover and a VNC addict, but for the life of me cannot get the pups to install on my system. Error: No run action specified for files of this type (text/x-readme) - you can set a run action by choosing `Set Run Action' from the File menu, or you can just drag the file to an application. ...

As I am having trouble with 214 using the now included bcm software, am I best to wait until 215? Ndiswrapper and by driver worked flawlessly in 213. Oops. bcm43xx firmware is missing from Puppy 2.14. I have just packaged this firmware along with some other firmware, and these should be available on...

Puppy 213 and wireless worked for me really well (using ndiswrappwer) v214 now has a driver for my wireless card, which it it detected - but does not work :) NDISWRAPPER does not seem to work at all, and neither will the script AUTOSCAN my wireless network settings. Anyone else having similar proble...

After many weeks of plugging away, I finally have a DVD that does what I want. Thanks to the help of many in this forum, I managed to get both my soundcard and, best of all, my wireless card to work (thanks to NDISWRAPPER) I am a true Puppy believer and love that I can store my documents, my web des...

I am really a newbie with Puppy, but love it nevertheless! I am using v213 and want to remaster my existing cd. (It is getting a bit tight on the CD) Whatever remastering option that I choose simply brings me up an XDIALOG starting with something like this: Xdialog v2.3.1 by Thierry Godefroy <xdialo...
