My laptop is an old Dell inspiron b120. When i was using Puppy 4.x the wifi didn't die off whenever my screensaver activated. When i moved up to lucid 5.0, this has been happening often. I will try to check my bios again, but so far, the only solution i am using is to not get my screensaver to activ...

Hello, Has anyone tried using multiple wifi devices working simultaneously on one Puppy machine? If so, maybe you can help me.

hi, i tried using MUT but when i clicked on the mount icon, an empty window pops up, as if the drive is empty and the mount icon doesn't change to .the usual ROx and unmount icons

thanks for your quick reply. i'm trying to run gparted now but it seems to be bogging down as it scans for the drives.
