For you guys who have reported a non-functional wireless keyboard, would you mind doing these tests?:

Barry,
Here, at last, is my modem contribution to the next release after alpha9. Because the Intel and 3G parts both use the updated modemtest script, they are merged into this combined package. It is a dotpet, so people can experiment before you integrate this into P5 (and wherever else it goes from there).

I have attempted to anticipate how you would annotate the history entries in some of the /usr/sbin files. Not knowing how you will identify the next release, I used "v477" to represent it, for my recent changes to them. The "v477"s will probably need to be changed.

Please notice the files I remove in the pinstall.sh file. Since the Intel support no longer uses /dev/536 and /dev/537, those files can be removed from Puppy. The new nodes appear automatically. Also note that I deleted some rules files that were named incorrectly. I have replaced them with correctly named (and updated) files.

For full support of the wireless modems, the following packages are required from: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=266979#266979
usb_modeswitch-1.0.2.pet
hso-udev-2008-09.pet

They contain the mode-switching tools for both types of the Option modems. In hso-udev, the essential files are those in /usr/sbin and /etc. The other files appear to be part of advanced usage of the modems, which I have not investigated. But they are small.

ttuuxxx, as the lite gnome games pet worked so well in u476 i thought i would try and install them in turbopup alpha 3 which i tend to use a lot

Unfortunatly i received the dreaded missing dependences message (attached)

Went to ubuntu 9.04 and searched for the missing dependences and copied them into turbopup alpha 3, still no joy looking for a bit of guidance

All menu entries are present

At least the exercise has made me work out how to take a screen shot with shot-.1.1.pet

)apologies, attachment doesnt want to show up, i will e/myou agian when i work it out)

Health, Wealth and Happiness for the future

Hello ttuuxxx.

Thank you a lot for your fast answer.

I didnt know that gcc need to be rebuilded. This make the whole thing a litlle more complicated now.

It is really pitty that with puppy linux at the moment android cant be builded from scratch.

I am especially interessted for building the linux msm kernel.

P.S. Only for information. Here is a Video from google that show the future and potetial for linux in the mobile world in comparisation to the PC World. It put you out of the shooes. Especially the Numbers.

ttuuxxx, thank you for the advice, understand time priority equation

decided to go back to using your 4.2v2 puppy for a while, you have motivated me to consider having a go at compiling from source one of the gnome games in the next couple of months

Finally got around to some preliminary testing of woof alpha 9 on my Acer Aspire One. Currently running off a live USB stick created with unetbootin. (1) I was able to connect to my brother-in-law's WPA-protected network without any problems. (2) Sound works. (3) SD cards are recognized, but needed

I redid the XAMPP package by MU, to the newer sfs. It boots and work's fine. But, MySQL doesn't connect? I also checked the XAMPP Forum...

Here's a screen of my start and stop.

I believe it has to do with MySQL uid's.

I tried the new Firefox3.5.pet and my system froze! Rebooted and Firefox won't start, no messages when starting from rxvt either.

Help?

Runs the wifi, very quick, had to use vesa I think the rez is set to 1280x768 instead of 1280x800 but useable.
I ran renoise on this and didn't have to set up realtime scheduling? I wonder what puppy would be like with realtime premtive kernel, zipp...
I'm new, alot to learn. A great platform for netbook audio tracking.
Also, I need to find out about .pet version compatibility, I think I saw via chome video drivers as a .pet but having trouble finding them.

Best distro I've tried on this netbook, I feel at home, I'm staying.

Gnumeric appears to work since it opens and can open existing files. However, data cannot be entered to create a new spreadsheet and data cannot be changed in an existing spreadsheet.
