And we have a winner! -- tubby!

Tubby's report of his internal modem not being detected automatically is now solved. The modem is built into the sound card and is one of those supported by the SmartLink driver, slmodem. But the firmware.dep file does not associate the driver, snd_ali5451, with the slmodem firmware.

The slmodem line in all /etc/modules/firmware.dep.2.6.xx.xx versions -- for each of the kernels -- should now be:

I had experimented with 430 upgrading a full HDD installation of 421. The LAN connection did not save for the next boot. So far so bad.
Next I did a frugal install of 431RC and the connection settings were saved on the fresh install. Hurray!
BUT...
then I made an executable in /root/startup to have the numlock active at startup.
( #!/bin/sh
numlockx on)
Funny enough this killed the connection settings. As soon as I removed the executable, the settings are saved again for the next boot.

Any idea if this is my doing or a bug?

Thanks guys.

Also posted in Barry's blog but added here for completeness.

4.30 frugal on acer aspire one; upgraded from 4.3 to 4.3.1 using the servicepack .pet

I have 3 ptns on my aspire one 120GB hdd: sda1 ~20GB ext3; sda2 ~10GB ext2 ; sda3 ~83GB ext3

If i mouse-hover over the drive icons on the desktop, sda1 shows as 110.2GB ext2; sda2 as 92.2GB ext3; and sda3 as 9.8GB ext2.

Gparted, parted, Pmount and partview show them "correctly".

Excuse the language but I am using a translator!

I have a problem with puppy linux already present in the version 4.30 network!
I have a Packard Bell Dot S with Atheros 8132 PCI-E Ethernet network adapter. When I try to connect the OS recognizes me automatically atlc1 driver if I am not mistaken. Tells me that all ok is never then when I go to do the car configuration DHCP not detects me suffered the setting the makes only after a little waiting and eventually fails the network! I think it is a bug in the drivers because sometimes obliterated and in the process of recovering the same driver was able to make it work but I cannot now!

In pup-4.3.1-rc2, if a standard desktop icon is deleted, and then an sfs file is added or removed in BootManager, the deleted icon reappears on the desktop after the next boot.

Using 431rc2 frugal in notebook with probable defective hard drive.
I am a newbie forever.

Can make normal .iso CD,s but not multi-session which I need.

Tried: Barry's latest instructions on remastering; Remaster Pup Live CD; Pburn from right click on iso file; Pburn from desktop menu; Burn iso 2CDD

The remastered ones will not even boot.

I ran the others with pfix=ram and "saved to CD", but at reboot, they refused to boot. I tried one twice with pfix=ram and it rebooted ok the first time but refused after I saved the second session.

Incidentally, it seemed that Pburn could not find the iso file until I moved it into home root file.

Don't know if this is a bug in 43x, in my setup, equipment or me.

Puppy is great.

OK Houston, I have a problem, and I've had it since 430 actually, I just always forget to report it, since I'm usually in my 421.. sorry

Whenever trying to play any audio, it turbo-repeats chunks of it, progressing very slowly, and also slows down my USB mouse.
The audio can then be "killed" and dies out eventually (the introductory "Puppy bark" also loops crazily until I close the intro screen), but the mouse remains slow until reboot (restarting X doesn't help). The touchpad is unaffected.
This happens (at least) on my lappy 1.. gonna try to test the other machines soon (sometime tomorrow, I hope).

dawg,
I wonder... as an experiment, blacklist those hsf* kernel modules.
You can do that in the BootManager.
