I,ve just installed puppy into hard disk.
Everything worked fine, but the modem wasnt detected.
its a netodragon and i´ve found the drivers, but to install them i need to do
that make and make install thing.
Can it be done in puppy?
do i need to get some package?

thanks, i bet this is a prety dull question Embarassed

Basic Puppy does not have the compilers to install such a driver.

This question is better suited for one of the compiler experts to see if it is possible to build it in a custom Puppy.

For reference, I believe the modem driver fix may be described here.

Let's see if one of the real experts can assist.

Can you give us the web location of the driver that you found and believe you can use?

the url is:

http://www.netodragon.com/slmodem-2.9.10_netodragon.tar.gz

it,s not all about the driver, but also to install more programs.
I was wondering if there where any package to install in puppy to get the needed compilers.

thanks

You probably ought to wait for the upcoming version of Puppy, but if you just can't wait, try Puppy 1.0.5 alpha 2.

As Flash said try Puppy 1.0.5, it allows you to compile programs to use in Puppy.

Have a look at the News Puppy page for more details.
