Hi there , I don't know how much research you have done but there are specialist distros aimed at the "next generation" of Linux users see here http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/43224.aspx . I can't personally recommend any of them as my grand children are way too small yet...

Have you selected the right encryption ? I think WEP is quite old now. I use WAP on my router. Also have you put the correct password into the box ? (Caps lock on by any chance?) These replies may be stating the obvious but better to check all steps as we go. It usually only takes only one little mi...

Wireless modem? Do you mean router or some other device? The easy way to connect your wireless card is as follows; Menu >Setup > Internet Connection Wizard > Wired or Wireless Lan (or GPRS wireless modem if you have one) Select wlan0 and follow the instructions from there. Sorry I can't be a bit mor...

Hi,I will try to answer your queries for you: 1 :- I have 3 linux computers all running "puppy" of different types and so far have never suffered any sort of virus attack . If you are unsure there is anti-virus called F-Sprot I believe. 2 :- Sorry I do not know of any anti spy-bot programs...

@ Nooby ,if you read my post correctly I just used it as a "live" cd .I did not install DSL anywhere.

Hello and welcome to the kennels. Please post some specs about your machine . When I first converted to Linux I used just live cds of different distros until I settled on one I liked , which of course is Puppy ! Using this method you can "play" without breaking anything. I use Puppy on my ...

See here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... c293257d5a. Have you tried using the search features? I always use the second entry under SEARCHING in the "Beginners" section.

Have you tried this? http://www.puppylinuxforum.org/thread-258.html
Might work. Reading around other forums it seems that particular model looks pretty unsupported unfortunately.

Sorry wrong topic Please delete.

Back again! Trying to install 214Top10 on this old laptop. I have formatted hdd to ext3 and tried to to do a full install. All seemed to go well until I got to the grub bootloader config and then it all went wrong! The splash box says "use simple option" which takes you to the "expert...

Many many thanks Kros. Downloading now.

Hello Kros, You say that the Hungarian version of Rexbang can be restored to English. How do you do this please? Obviously I can set up keyboard and actual locale through the control panels, but how do I get the actual desktop and menus to read in English? Perhaps if any other "Puppyians" ...
