I have an old Compac deskpro pentium II 400 mhz with 128 Mhz and CDROM reader.
I have tried virtually every ligh distro out there and most refuse to even boot halfway, and others like SlitaZ shows up with a fontsize just not readable on my HDMI monitor.
All the puppy seem to work real well but MacPup525 seemed a bit slow, and i will mostly use it to emulate old computers (Atari, AMIGA). So puppy arcade 10 420 was real fast and responsive.
But i lack the WG111/realted8187 driver in Puppy Arcade 10
Where is the driver modules, in the SFS or in the INITRD with kernel?
If in drivermodule the INITRD can i just replace and rename the MacPup525.SFS with the PupArcade420.SFS?
(If i first use SFS converter)
If driver module in the SFS how can i fork a new driver into PupArcade420.SFS, and how can i extract it from the MacPup525.SFS?
Howto add network module to a puppy distro?
Ok the driver will be in the main sfs not the initrd.
It would have to match kernels if taking from another puppy
uname -a will show you the kernel version.
the driver will be in /lib/modules/(version)/kernel/drivers/net most likely.
If you add then run depmod -a to get it recognised.
If no other puppy can supply you it ask nicely on the forum or gram devx/kernel source and the sources and build it...hmm don't think you will like that one.
Perhaps ask the maker of arcadepup

How do i get the SFS to mount in RW, when i double click and mount an SFS it always mounted to RO regardless if part of the system?mikeb wrote:Ok the driver will be in the main sfs not the initrd.
