Convert-pupsave
Nice little program for working with save files.
Needs some updating and probably tweaking to work with latest Puppies, but would be a nice program to have.

My wireless isn't support in beta 3, I had to plug in the ethernet
cable.
I was surprised to see that Nexuiz runs on this laptop, it's actually
playable when the effects are set to the lowest level, google earth
should run too but I haven't tested that yet.
I installed kdegames in ppm and they run okay but no menu entries
showed up in the puppy menu so I start them with gexec.

That's it so far, looks good

Slacko 5.4 Beta 3 PAE
Not able to connect to internet

sns log file

[Jades]

I've been testing the non-PAE with Opera version of Slacko 5.3.7.0 on my Pentium D 3.4GHz machine and unfortunately I have to report that I'm having major problems with it.

I managed to boot into a pfix=ram session and sound and graphics were working. Network Wizard could see the Netgear WN111v2 USB wireless dongle and I could attempt to set it up, but on scanning for networks there weren't any shown. Frisbee and SNS couldn't see any either. Slacko 5.3.3, on which I am typing this report, usually sees 15 and wireless works perfectly.

While flaky wireless performance was probably not unexpected, given the usual pattern with Slacko betas on this setup, worse was to come with trying to create a save. The problem I've previously noted with 5.3.6.0 being unable to create a working save on my NTFS drive has come back. So far, the only successful new save I've created was on the FAT32 memory card in my Nokia X3-02 (with the phone set to Mass Storage).

I was able to get seemingly successful boots from the NTFS drive by using saves created in previous test builds in Slacko but on these Puppy couldn't see the wireless dongle - the only save which could see it was the newly-created 5.3.7.0 save on the X3-02 although it still can't see any networks.

FWIW, Slacko 5.3.6.5 did have reasonably working wireless in that it worked from bootup, although I still had the problem with the connection dropping out and needing to run wireless setup again to kick it back into life.

All tests were boots from LiveCD.

@Billtoo.. did your wireless work in a previous slacko? Next will have the wl driver anyway.

@zigbert.. your problem looks like it is related to assigning wlan1 to the interface, If you only have 1 wireless donge it should be wlan0. I've never seen that one before. I have a dongle that uses ralink usb (rt73) so I can test.

@jades.. it's got to be a firmware issue. I still didn't see your latest dmesg output. Anyway, I have the latest carl9170 firmware and I'll attach. Install it and reboot.

@Sage.. "the bike guy" is back too .. will need to sort out the mouse issue, it has to be timing if it's intermittent.

EDIT: beta 3 will be reuploaded soon., I'll bump to beta 4 and add deltas

IWCONFIG is broken, this happened to me once before in woof

[Jades]

[01micko]

Jades, iwconfig is broken, I am rebuilding, I will add deltas and the new carl firmware anyway. Please grab a delta, but it will likely be tomorrow for you.

You can try Barry's wireless-tools from ibiblio in the quirky/wary5 repo if you want.

Thanks

01micko,
I have used your Frisbee 2.4beta as the basis for my effort to integrate Frisbee into puppy. I discovered an apparent inconsistency in the name of the /etc/init.d/Frisbee initialization script. The main Frisbee script contains :
