Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello I have a aspireone za3 netbook. It has linux mint on at the moment but it is a bit cumbersome.
I did try the latest version of puppy the non pae one which loaded well but I couldnt get the video up from 640 despite trying various options.
Is there a custom version of puppy that might work ?

I think the video maybe intel

Any advice welcome

hey cap'n

have a look here: http://domsyard.com/acer-aspire-one/puppy-linux-acer-aspire-one

webpage is a little confusing but scroll down for the meaty bit

which non-pae version did you try?

there was a aspire one build "acer-puppy-410-27.iso " but having trouble locating a copy, somebody who has it may help out

also 'fluppy' was a fork of puppee which was a special build for the eeepc and could be worth a try and also dpup extrimo which is a puplet with extra drivers

try a couple of items from domsyard above and see if they start to bring her to life

good luck



edit: also a dedicated thread here: http://208.109.22.214/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35424&sid=623848cbbcb548d5f968dafafa91ce74

unfortunately the link for the build on page one is dead

Thank you for the reply ally I just installed fluppy which has given me a good resolution 1024 and wireless works my only issue is the touch pad is very slow to respond so I will have a read up on that

configure touch pad in desktop or system (I can't remember for fluppy)

easy to do when you can get the cursor there!
