Good morning! I have a known-good Pup install on a thumb drive. I've used the thumb drive to boot into Puppy on several different PC's. A co-worker has a dual-boot Gateway FX-510 (I think that's the model; it's only about 4 years old) running XP and OpenSUSE. XP goes online, OpenSUSE does not. So I ...

Good morning! I received a couple of used USR 5610's a week ago. I wanted to see how much harder the USR 5610 internal PCI cards would be than the USR 5686 externals. The answer is: too hard for me. I tried Ubuntu 9.10, 9.04, and Fedora 12. All exhibited similar or identical problems that seem to be ...

OK, I finally found the intel version.

Thanks

You may have to do it again, and jot down on a piece of paper what choice you made at each of the steps. Since I didn't ...

I've had good luck with the speed test at u.s. netizen. I don't know how your physical location affects these tests.

Hi, rerwin! Thanks for the reply. I installed Puppy to an old PIII 1 GHz test box. It was an interesting experience. All I wanted to do was install it to a 120BG PATA internal. I felt like Pup was going, "Wait a minute, that's all you want me to do, is install on this huge HDD? What do I do with all ...

I've got a half dozen winmodems scrounged out of various PC's that I considered worthless because Ubuntu doesn't want to have anything to do with them. We've been talking about the sorry state of affairs in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1238954 I'm going to download Puppy ...
