Thanks nic2109. I had to remove my internal network card to make Puppy run. I discovered on Google that IBM had four different network cards for the ThinkPad TX series and one was not compatible with Linux or something. I think I got that one! Thus, I need a substitute for it. I am also using Netgea...

I'm wanting to add a network card to my IBM ThinkPad T22 laptop so I can plug into my office's LAN. Are there any good suggestions that works with Puppy out of the box or stay away from? Thanks. -Mark Below are a couple I'm looking into: Netgear® FA511 10/100 CardBus PC Card Adapter Nexxtech Etherne...

I follow the suggestion to add a swap partition. I added a gig and my Thinkpad now shows [120M] instead of [52M] and SeaMonky now works fine with NoScript installed. It appears all is well. Many thanks -Mark

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm booting from CD-ROM and using the thumb drive to store the pup_save.f3 file. I writing this on my BIG Gateway laptop from work with none of the problems I am having with the ThinkPad (mentioned above). The Gateway has a 1Gig of RAM. I booted off of CD-ROM with thumb d...

Puppy has been running fine now for weeks. Starting today, occurring twice, I start out with 56meg of free memory on the task bar, I start SeaMonkey and and then it goes critical and stays that was for more then 15min before I shut it down. When I go to shut it down, it appears to be shutting down, ...

Great! Can you help me locate it? I don't have the room to un pack the entire OpenOffice just to extract it. is there a DotPu for it or something? -Mark

Thanks for the suggestions. I usually do not have Internet access when I create PowerPoint shows and need PowerPoint like software and not a graphics package. I'll have to rethink how I use Puppy to have a OpenOffice install. A dual boot application environment! -Mark

Is there a PowerPoint/Impress apps for Puppy? I need to create slides but I have less than 60meg remaining so I can not unzip OpenOffice to extract Impress. Any suggestions are appreciated. -Mark

I had installed Audacity in Puppy 2.12 and it worked just fine. After updating to Puppy 2.13, Audacity appears to be getting no input from any input device. Any suggestions would be welcomed. -Mark

Again, thanks to all for the amazing support I got. After doing more research on the Internet, I discovered the problem was a PCI combo card (Intel PRO/100). There is a conflict with the modem portion for the current Linux kernels. I removed the card and all is working fine, I hope! I've lost my Eth...

Thanks guys for the helps. I'll try the frugal Puppy next weekend when I get a good block of time. BTW, I Googled my problem and discovered I'm not alone with this problem of hanging during booting with almost all of the live Linux CDs on several classes of laptops. Have a great New Years! -Mark

Thanks Sit Heel Speak for all you help. Are you running Puppy on your T21? If not, what OS are you using? If so, how did you get it loaded if you never ran it live? I can use all the help I can get! Again, thanks. -Mark

Thanks for the great links! The weird part is now NONE of my live Linux CDs work like Knoppix or Ubuntu on the laptop, not just Puppy. All my MS disks will boot just fine. I am very frustrated with this. I just want things to work like they did before... I don't think it is a hardware issue since Wi...

Again, thanks for all the support I'm receiving! Ok, here are my two questions... 1) Why do I need to worry about MRB when I can boot from CD-ROM on NTFS volumes? I have a Win03 Server and XP Pro from work in my home office for development. In fact, I'm writing this on XP Pro using Puppy! I have bee...

OK, this is where I get into trouble. Is the c:\grub come with DOS? If not, where/how do I get it? -Mark

Yes, that is correct. In fact I copied the pup_save.3fs file to another machine that has never had Puppy loaded on it and it all worked just fine with the same CD-ROM! Weird. I did have IRQ issues before I tried [puppy irqpoll]. When I have entered [puppy irqpoll] for the past few months, everything...

Yes, my kids have been playing CD-ROM games on it all day and even watch a movie using Win98. I tried it again after they were done, and it still hangs at the same place as I first listed. Again, I really appreciate all the support. -Mark

Many thanks again for all the support. I have tried all the suggestions and nothing has changed. I can boot Puppy with the same CD on two of my desktops OK. But not on my laptop which I use daily for that on the go stuff. :cry: In addition, I have dial-up at home and access T1/T3 lines at work and l...

Thanks John for the suggestions, but nothing changed after cleaning and trying the suggested boot arguments. -Mark

I'm booting off the CD-ROM for Puppy 2.12 and HD for Windows. When I turn on the laptop, I can push F12 and select which boot device. When I select HD, Win98 boots OK. When I select boot from CD-ROM, I get what I listed above. Like I said, it has worked like a charm for months and I have been using ...
