goolwa_pup, I have a machine that sometimes hangs during
startup with that "optical input" message on screen. This started
happening with several recent pups. I found that I could work
around the problem by putting "pfix=nox" on the kernel line. Then
once I set up the video driver and created a personal Save file,
I could get rid of the "pfix=nox" and everything would be ok.

I just found that Barry's Raring 5.6.92 alpha doesn't doesn't tend
to hang on the initial startup. Instead, I'm offered keyboard, video
and time zone selections. It may be that pups using his latest woof
will be free of the hang problem.

I have decided to run Precise Puppy 561 again on my Acer Aspire One D257 netbook (you could say this is my main PC).

I had set up my wifi connection, as usual I,

Code:
1.) Run Dougal's Network Wizard
2.)Select wlan0
3.)It asks about the wl module not in the wpa_suppliant list, and as usual I allow it to add the entry.
4.)Press Scan
5.)Select the network
6.)Select Open, WEP, WPA/TSIK, or WPA2 (depends on network)
7.)type in password (if needed)
8.)Press 'save' and then 'use this profile'
9.)Connects to network.
10.) Then I press DHCP.
11.) Done


But it did not connect. the wireless light on my netbook was on, but i could not connect to any site. I rebooted, tried again and same thing. I tried Frisbee, but with no luck either.

Hi bark_bark_bark

1. issue this command in a terminal to determine which chip you have
Code:
lspci -vnn -d 14e4:

2. visit http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices to see which broadcom driver (there are 4 types) is recommended for your chip
3. blacklist wl and reboot to see if a different driver works
4. follow the instructions to do a manual wifi setup at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=22469 and note any error messages
5. if all that fails, run pdiag in a terminal and post/pm the tarball created
6. report if any of the above gives you success

Cheers
peebee

PostPosted: Mon 24 Jun 2013, 08:41    Post subject: quicksetup: hyphenated time zones don't work.  
When a user chooses a time zone containing a hyphen, quicksetup converts the hyphen to a plus sign. So, for instance, if the user selects "America/Port-au-Prince", quicksetup sets /etc/localtime to point to /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Port+au+Prince, a file that doe not exist.

Here is one possible patch (based on quicksetup 2013-05-13 07:52:17 in Woof):

This is definately nice on an old machine @ work. I also did an install to a USB thumbdrive with unetbootin. The problem is that Unetbootin put everything in the root directory of the thumbdrive and I would rather locate all of the Precise files in a directory. Does anyone have any idea how to do this and which system files need editing. Also, what would be the minimum amount of files in the root directory required for a boot after the Unetbootin install?

Do you need to use unetbootin?

I'm pretty sure grub4dos will do what you want.

Hi Linuxbear:
As suggested by the smokey01, You can use GRUB4DOS for that.
Here is the link where I post a detail that how to use your Flash Drive for Single or Multiple puppies in USB Drive. It will also work for your HDD (If you want to do.. ) http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=205609088&t=82373/
hope this will helps.
Thnx.
