Broadcom B43 Wi-fi not working in Slacko 5.7.0 PAE iso?

I've used Puppy Linux for years now as it's the only Linux I've ever managed to get my wi-fi card working properly in without having to go and mess around with the windows driver for this card.

Turn off dead key mode on keyboard settings?

Recently my puppy linux was all working fine, until suddenly it messed up and it turned the entire screen like a green-screen colour, except the mouse still being white.

Doesn't seem to work with Wacom Bamboo Pen CTL-470

I currently have two versions of Linux on my laptop - Slackware and Puppy. Puppy runs from the Live CD, but Slackware runs from the hard drive. I prefer to use Puppy at the moment as there seems to be some kind of fault with my hard drive (it goes through a stage where it will constantly be accessin...

eDuke3d only shareware, how do I use the full game files?

I have the full game of DN3D from years ago and I installed DN3D on Puppy Linux using the eDuke3d link. When I run it, it runs in Shareware mode. Is it possible to use this shareware version as the full game just by copying the full game files into the correct directory? If so where is the correct d...
