no its just a stock puppy iso with driver fixes. just like the original pupeee 3.01 someone else did. anything else you wanna put on it is up to you.

as for the eeepc buyer yea there great little computers. and with puppy linux or some other light distro even there slow ssd does not hurt its preference. they just fly with puppy linux.

being this release is unofficial being i did it myself i don't have access to the main mirrors to host it on. of course if someone does put it on there for me then woot lol.

Hi.
This post just to let you know that pupeee 4.2 is well working on my old eeepc 701, but does'n catch the right wi-fi card on my new 1000he.

Bye

Hey Carlomag that is good news - that is the model I have.
Previously used the excellent EeeTiger (with Compiz Fusion)
which supported the custom Intel Atheros wifi.
Good to hear this works.
I am stuck on an XP computer but it is getting too much and I may just have to Puppify it. When I get home will try this on my Eeepc

Thanks guys and hope you will provide a Pupee 5.xx for the Kennels
when required )

Hi there,
First, many thanks for 4.2 -- it looks and runs great.

I have a recurring problem that I don't know what to do about:

Has anyone gotten a VPN established in on a pupeee box? I have looked around the puppy forums, and it seems to be a non-trivial issue (with MPPE support, etc.), and given the extremely helpful and ingenuitive puppeee/ eee users, I thought I'd ask here.

Specifically, I can connect via wireless to problem, but when I use gpptp to establish a VPN, i get an 'exited with code 0.' Talking to our network guys, it seems I start to make a connection, and then am immediately dropped.

Any pointers would be greatly apprecaited. thanks.

sounds like a issue with the server or ports then a driver issue.

Thank you, Volsung.

It is a problem for all of us when someone makes a new puppy but nowhere to upload and share.

We got to find a solution for this. Maybe Woof approach or Choice Pup approach should be considered. (No apps jusrt core or build system only.)
So the download bandwidth limit shouldn't be reached.

Today, I went to see and compare Acer one and EEEPC 1000H+

There is a price difference of 1000 yuan. (2800 for 9" Acer One 3800 for EEEPC1000+)

I could buy one of them in Korea for a lot less. It wasn't the price, the elegance was the issue. And then there was areal nice looking Korean netbook caught my eyes.(I couldn't take my eyes off). But the battery hour is too short for me. I looked around other netbooks all day but couldn't make a decision.

The Korean beauty has about 2hours and EEE PC 1000 has 6hours. Besides that, both have the exact spec.

Longer battery hour is absolute necessity. However, if I buy EEEPC, then I have to pay 400 more yuan because it comes with Windows.

I don't like to pay any money to the world's richest man. I don't need windows anyway. I got Puppy. I do not want to pay what I don't need.

Anyway, I will try Pupeee when I go there again.(USB+Unetbootin, Maybe)

Thanks again.

ubooten works just fine.

as for your netbook choice its a big one being thers so many of them now. but they all pretty much specked the same. you should look at storage space and ram. i got my eee 900a from ebay for 160$. being i have a usb hd storage is not a issue.

Thanks for these files.

I could not get them to work, I am sure it is my fault. I burnt the iso file you posted, used a desktop to install to usb key, and used the key on my eeepc 901, but I have not noticed any improvement over the normal Puppy 4.2 install. No sound, no monitor hot swapping, no suspend.

Thanks again.

you still need to run the puppy sound config the drivers patched but not loaded by default. not all eeepc have hda cards. it will see your intel-hda and crash after playing the test file no problem once you reboot your sound will work. so your going to have to install it or save the session for sound fixes.

suspend and swapping where not tested or even tried on this version. why they are not listed as fixes. suspending on puppy would be buggy at best rember it loads into ram its self.

for the 1000he owner they use a newer wifi chipset. if you look in the forum link i have with the pets i used someone has posted a driver for that model eeepc. surprising madwifi didn't pick it up thow. must be really new.

I have found that acpitool (for which there is a pet) works very well for suspend to RAM on my 701. I have not had any problems with it. Just sett up a shortcut to to make something like super+F1 runs acpitool -s and you have suspend. I suppose if you wanted to you could have that run on lid close too, but I prefer it not to do that.

Amazing. The acpitool actually suspends my 900. I have it hooked up to Fn-F7 (since mute doesn't yet work), but would love to connect it to Fn-F1. Do you know the key code for the fn-f1 hotkey? For example, the key code for Fn-f2 is 0000001[01])

Thanks for this tip,
Jake

Uh, oh. While it always suspends, it does not always return intact. Programs fail to load, wifi sometimes fails to start again. I'll do more testing.

I too have had problems with WiFi not resuming, but I find that to be a problem with suspend to RAM in general. I have had that with windows and linux on different hardware. I have never had any problems with programs though.

Let me know how the test turns out.

As to the hotkey, I used the WM to set those up. In JWM, IceWM, and Xfce you can set up hotkeys, but I do not think that you can use the Fn key. That is why I said super.
