I am but it is a la[top I am using |
|
I have a Dell latitude CPI 366 with 128mgs of Ram 4 gig hard drive for $8 Windows 2000 was on it but busted so I thought I would give a free OS a try. After looking and trying I settled on Wary Puppy as the best bet for the machine, but
I can't install to the hard drive( the best option for what I want to do) I keep getting ext2 ext3 failure, Kernel in panic , not synching all sorts of error messages I followed all the instructions watched the videos etc. I can run it from the CD and can save personal file my setup to a USB flash (4 gig) and it reboots fine in that format. Frugal install doesn't work either maybe my hard drive is to old to support ext files? doesn't work with fat files either also Wary recognizes my wirless card finds my network I put in my wep key but is unable to connect to my network (windows network) but I still should be able to get online I know the card is good because I used it in an XP laptop. It looks great but I can't do anyhting with it. I tried DSL, Slacko, Legacy, lucid. ubuntu won't partition HD so I can't install 5.0 so I guess it's my machine but Wary is suppose to be for older machines Shouldn't and IDE ATA be able to accept EXT files? let me know what I could be doing wrong

Edit to say that all is now well after a defrag. Now I have the pain of re-doing re-installs etc etc.

2Gb RAM
160Gb HDD
Edit to add - the wireless only worked once. ..... |
Pleased to report that Slacko 5.3.3 seems to work well on the Mini - picked up the wireless first time. But I've only tried once - so we'll see if it still works when I try again.
Edit to add - tried later and it still works (after a hickup when it looked like all the settings etc were lost) on the HP Mini.
I meant to say that it works perfick on the old Toshiba A200 too. |
I'm sad to say that Slacko 5.3.3 has cacked itself on my old A200, and I can't revive it. I run it from a CD and save on the HDD. I've even tried starting from scratch - copied off the save file and deleted the slacko sfs, and it runs ok first time but fails to save setting properly at shutdown. It saves something but on restart I have a screen full of caution triangles and it wants to do the initial setup stuff again. Back to Lupo for the time being. I'll defrag the HDD on XP and try again later.

HDD: 250gB 7200rpm
Optical Drive: hp CDDVDW TS-L633R Lightscribe
Display: 14" LED 1360x768
Tested on Lucid Puppy 5.28.
Had to boot with puppy pfix=nox, if xorg was auto loaded screen would be black. Run xorg-setup, select vesa and resolution. Then install intel driver and all ok with xorg.
Optical drive works.
Sound card works.
Ethernet works.
Wireless, had to install iwlagn-firmware-update-k2.6.33.2.pet. Then it works.
Pointstick works
Touchpad works(scroll, tap, all ok)
Card reader works
Something that surprised me was the support for multimedia keys. It has a touch sensitive multimedia keys and all except one worked out of the box. Volume control, mute, wireless, and quickweb worked out of the work.
I have to test bluetooth, firewire, displayport, vga out.
edit: Bluetooth works. |
Congrats. Sounds like you have a winner. What wireless card/chipset is on this laptop? |
hello. It has Intel Centrino Ultimate-N / Advanced-N 6000 Series 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN module; or Broadcom
b/g wireless LAN module . It looks like it has two adapters, which one i use? i dont know... And i add, with kernel 3x wireless works out of the box. The only thing that doesn't work is lcd brightness control...

Puppy on Laptops Subject description: Puppy on Laptops |

HI,
Downloaded Slacko-Puppy last night in a way that allowed me to have a dual boot Laptop. The Laptop concerned is a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.7 G chip with 2 G of ram. Only the wireless connection required any configuration from me but that was easy using the wizards available.
I am very pleased.
Yours,
Jolyon

I have Slacko 5.3.3 frugal installs on my Acer Aspire One and Thinkpad T60p. No problems at all. Both computers triple-boot, with XP and Debian Squeeze.
Mostly use Slacko, of course, XP never, Debian now and again.

Two laptops with Puppy |
|
1) Wary 5.1.4.1 frugal, dual-boot with Win98, on a Sony Vaio F270
333 Mhz Pentium II, 192M ram, 6.4 G disk. Airlink AWLC3026 wireless card.
I keep reading posts telling people to stick with Puppy 4.x or earlier on hardware this old, but this setup runs just fine for me. I use it for word processing and hobbyist programming. Web browsing is sluggish but no surprise given the limited hardware.
Some details about my disk layout may be of interest. I have the Puppy system files in a 1 G ext3 partition and a 256 M swap partition. A third, 600 M ext3 partition holds my data and work files, including source code files, word-processsing files, and a small selection of MP3s. Using a 3rd partition like this keeps all that stuff from eating up space in my personal save file and makes it easier to change to a different version of Puppy. One folder on this partition holds a large collection of reference docs, such as man pages, application user guides, cheat sheets, etc. so that I can do work without a live Internet connection.
I reformatted a 4 G flash drive as an ext3 filesystem and use this to keep backups of my pupsave file and the data-work file partition.
2) Precise Puppy 5.4.91 (non-PAE) frugal, dual-boot with WinXP on a HP/Compaq Presario 2200
1.3 Ghz Celeron M 320 (this is a non-PAE cpu), 512M ram, 40 G disk. The Puppy side is again 3 partitions--an ext3 system file partition, a swap partition, and an ext3 data/work partition.
I installed Precise on this machine just yesterday, because I was curious about the supposed advantages of the Ubuntu base. Previously I had Wary 5.2.2 installed, and Puppy 4.2.1 before that.
I use this machine mostly for WinXP because of hobby-related software for which I cannot find good Linux alternatives, I'm sorry to say. I haven't looked into Wine because the Windows stuff works and that's good enough for me.
So far Precise seems to run okay. Getting wireless Internet connection working was a breeze, and sound and video files run without problems. Web videos seem sluggish compared to what I'm used to on this machine with XP, but that may be Seamonkey--on the XP side I use Firefox.

Puppy Linux on a Toshiba Satallite M30X-124 |
|
I tried different Puppys on my 'old' Laptop (most of them frugal):
Toshiba Satallite M30X-124
Intel Pentium M Processor 725 - Centrino 1.60 GHz
Intel 855GME Chipset
512 MB RAM 80 GB HDD
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 - urges sometimes trouble
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG - I don't get to work
Slacko 5.3.3
Runs fine, but tries to use mesa-driver (if i use the improve xorg-button),
the mesa-driver don't fit to the ATI-card and causes black/garbage screen.
No wlan so far.
ArchPUP (non PAE)
Runs fine - no wlan so far
Lucid 5.2.8-005 (also LazY 202), Wary, Racy 5.3, Slacko 5.4
all they have problems with the TouchPad-Contoller, but this can fixed with some boot params: i8042.nomux=1 highres=off nohz=off irqpoll
no wlan so far
Retro Precise 5.4
(edit) needs i8042.unlock i8042.nomux=1 highres=off nohz=off irqpoll
for proper start - no wlan so far

This works on Slacko, latest version.
I really only have one complaint. I cannot get it to suspend or hibernate.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Slacko 5.5 on Hp 6730b laptop Subject description: It doesn't boot |
|
I'm using the hp 6730b laptop for all the puppies I tested: it works fine with all the puppies although the laptop has a quirky bios.
http://www.linlap.com/hp-compaq_6730b
Today I tested Slacko 5.5: the cd doesn't boot. I found that the bios wrongly maps the memory forcing to "0" some values. The cd boots on other laptops but I'm using this now and I have to renounce to slacko.
EDIT: I was able to boot slacko 5.5 cd and proceed to frugal install by restoring to factory defaults the bios of the hp 6730b machine. It probably needs bios upgrade but it's possible only by a windows install.
