Don't get me wrong
Puppy is excellent ,but , these patches that are needed to get legacy cards to work , and now I find I need a patch to get my network cards recognised , and there are others apparently , This is not good!
When I ran out of room ,stuffed my system and did the repair boot I suddenly found my desktop had been a hybrid of 2.14 and 2.15 thats why some shortcuts were coloured amd some were silvery. So the 2.14 settings are retained in some part on the upgrade.
Now they are all silvery and moved round the margins of the page. Ok but now the repaired system did not recognise my two network cards at all and even when I tried to load the correct drivers ,I couldn't . Need the patch I saw ,says I ,but as I can't get on the network I had to go back to 2.14 ,without my pup_save file ,to get back my network as once its taken out of the pup_save file even 2.14 won't work.
Well thats where I am now and I will add some more here as I try to fix this up.
Edit - got the network patch and started 2.15 installed the patch ,ran the network wizard and this time it got the cards right ,reconfigured them and here we are on 2.15 wondering whats next and scratching my head about no sound?
