PROBLEM
EXAMPLE this is zhqt I get zhen I try to type on the nor,ql keys: Then Flqsh provided solutionInstall went perfectly and I was playing with my new Puppy 1.0.8 when, suddenly, I couldn't type a thing corrrectly. Mouse works, keys don't. I rebooted -- no different. I loaded Win 98se -- keyboard works just fine. I loaded Mandrake 9.0 -- ditto. What is wrong w Puppy?
SOLUTION BY FLASH
NOW SAME PROBLEM AGAIN except I only hqve Puppy so where do I find the pup001 file in root bc i cant use Find bc it also doesnt work WHY ME?The keyboard configuration is stored in the pup001 file on your hard drive after you boot Puppy the first time. Thereafter when Puppy boots it sets the keyboard choice it finds in the pup001 file. Evidently the keyboard configuration in your pup001 file has somehow become corrupted, which is why your keyboard only works when you boot with option 4.
If you haven't got anything saved in the pup001 file that you care about, the simple solution is to delete the pup001 file and start over. If there is stuff in the pup001 file you want to save then you can change its name, e.g. to pup002, so that Puppy won't find a pup001 file when it boots. After you boot Puppy you can then mount the renamed file and copy the files you want to keep from it before you shut down.
So my ? is where exactly is the pup001 file? Pls say exctly how to get to pup001 file thru File Manager
PS: this happens with two dif versions of Puppy so maybe keyboard is wonky but if so why did deleting pup001 file work?
