Is there a way to add this option in puppy without using modconf?

Just loaded up a frugal install of 2.13 but have problems mounting USB storage devices when using my pup_save file. When I boot with pfix=ram then everything is fine.

Audio Device: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW ICH6 Family Rev 04.

The module might be snd_hda_intel.

I think you are right .. it might be i915xx.

Solved by just installing the NVIDIA drivers

I cannot get 2.13 to run at the correct resolution for my notebook - 1280 x 800. It always seems to default to 1024 x 768. When I check xorg.conf, it specifies 1280 x 800. I have tried manually editing xorg.conf. I have tried xorgconfig. Restarting X of course each time. Puppy often seems to remove ...

Could the et131x Agere ethernet driver be complied into the kernel as a module? I think it is a kernel config option now?

Has anyone tested the puppy universal installer? I have tried with 2.12 and 2.13 and it seems broken. Sometimes it ejects the puppy CD, sometimes just before creating the USB bootable disc, the application just closes.

I have been trying numerous times over the last year to set-up effective bittorrent downloads with Puppy.

What is the easiest solution to have ipw working then with 2.12? How do we run this daemon as a workaround solution to have wireless networking?

Did you disable acpi first?

Note: Using this method I did have 1 active interface & the correct driver "ipw2200" was detected, but I think the active interface was my ethernet adapter which still failed to be configured in the end as I did not have a network cable connected to it. As you 'think' and do not know if was the ...
