John,
Thanks for responding. After installing your included rt61 wireless pet and rebooting the CD with a save file on my HD, I am still freezing up when initiating a wireless network scan. Rutilt shows:
I did, however manage to install that same wireless .pet on Ttuxxx's 214XRC5 and had success with Pwireless for an unencrypted connection (rt61 does not support WPA but rt2561/rt61 pci does). Ttuuxxx's traditional Network Wizard still showed 'No modems detected', even with the Pwireless connection.
This desktop is 5+ years old, but I only recently (this year) found a wireless card that was linux-compatible. Maybe the card is just too new?

This kind of a failure hasn't happened for me in a long time, but I can't get this legacy Puppy to boot.
I am shy to do a full install, because I have grub on another partition and in the MBR. Don't want to mess this up.
Then I spend about an hour+ to find grub stanzas for a manual frugal install and tried several of them. Without success unfortunately. The boot procedure stops already at loading the relevant hdb3 partition.
Next was a start from CD with the goal to create a pup_save file. This works fine until I am trying to install a nVidia driver. (Desktop is awfully shifted to the right without one).
Even the wellminded search does not detect a nVidia-96 driver for kernel 2.6.18.This "InstallNvidia-Puppy-2.12-and-2.13.pup" is as close as I can find any. Yet, that results in a black screen and no way out except by cutting the power.
Well? Guess I have to go without LegacyOS

Hello wuwei,
Have a play with the 3D Control Center Dotpup as well as the Nvidia Dotpup while running live and see if this helps. Someone posted a Driver problem like yours in relation to TEENpup 2009 Legacy and got it working. May be you'll have same luck to.

Hello Roger Hunter,
Let me know if you decide to use Legacy OS long term. (Not Play with it for a day or 2 and then distro hop to something else.)
Example you set it up on an old PC installed to Hard Drive and the background problem continues even though you've changed the background.

John;
Legacy lives!
My problem turned out to be a problem of some sort with the last partitions on the 250Gb drive.
Once I deleted them the rest fell into line.
Legacy OS installed with the dead leaf background. But the tutorials died too. Neither one works and there's no Ethernet setup so I'm using it as the menu holder for booting the system.

I just did a frugal install of Legacy on my old compaq laptop. It booted fine but I can't connect. It has a D-Link DFE 690 TXD in slot2 but is not seen nor a driver. Can I use the driver from 5.1 (which works)and where is it located?

not usually, its compiled against the specific kernel that lagacy OS uses, There is a simple how-to at the dlink website, as long as you have the devx installed, it should be easy.maxpro4u wrote:I just did a frugal install of Legacy on my old compaq laptop.

Usb mouse is not handled
I have installed Legacy on a 12 years old desktop pc. There is no usb plug-in at the mainboard, but there is a pci card for usbs.
During over 20 trials the usb mouse is not recognized. But sometimes it works. How can I manage to get the usb mouse for sure?

Dual boot with Puppy 431 - confusion with hda sda
I want to run a LegacyOS in a dual boot system with Puppy 431 on the same drive. I did not find a way to start both Puppies from the same menu.lst.
Because of the different notations for the disk i must distinguish between hda and sda. It is not possible to start 431 from the LegacyOS menu.lst with sdax.

Hello svgt,
Does a PS/2 mouse work? can you use that? Anyone else had this mouse problem and can provide a fix?
To anyone dual booting series 2 and 4 Puppy's together have any advice in how you configured the 2 to boot together with grub and may be attach a copy of your 1st menu.
