Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, my HDD is only 20 GB so I don't want to crowd XP. I'm just at a testing phase of different distros to get a feel for linux. If I eventually decide to abandon XP, they I'll install a linux distro on the whole drive and get it set up properly so everything wo...

I tried all the instructions while on Live CD with a save file to my HDD, but it did not work.

With the commands module b43 and module wl, I got "not found".

Thank you so much for this new information and instructions. I just have a few questions before I proceed: Since I have to rebook for the changes to take effect, can I do this if I am using the Live CD of LegacyOS? Do I have to set up a save file on my HD? If so, how do I do this? Can I choose the l...

Thank you for the help.
I will await info on the driver.

Thanks for the information. Yes, I tried it as indicated in the attachment above. The Broadcom BCM43 won't work. In fact some distros state that this one has to be blocked in order to use the B43 legacy driver. It has to be the Broadcom BCM43legacy, usually stated as Broadcom b43legacy. This is the ...

Thank you for the added information. In answer to your questions, see below: My laptop is a Dell Latitude D600 which was produced in 2003. The wireless needs a Broadcom B43Legacy driver (BCM4306 rev2) Precise Puppy 5.7.1 sets up the wireless OOTB with the above driver. Slacko Puppy 5.7 and Tahrpup 6...

Thank you for the information.

I changed some setting for the task bar. Now, my task bare is only 3 inches long and does not show the programs that I have open. It show the clock, volume, battery, network, storage, desktop, and menu. When I shrink a program, it does not show on the task bar so I can not bring it back. I want the ...

When I test eth1, it comes back as unsuccessful.

Disregard the previous image because part of it did not come through clearly.
Here is another image of the window. See attachment
I don't know what to do from here to get the wireless to work.

Here is what I got after adding the additional apps.

I am using the Live CD. I installed both the Wifi-WPA2.tar.gz and network-wizard-oct07.pet My wireless driver was installed so that I had both eth0 which is my ethernet cable and eth1 which is my wireless controller. When I tried to configure the wireless connection, it says I first must set the wir...

Thanks for the help.

I am trying out Legacy OS 2.1.
I want to install a network wizard which is a pet file: network-wizard-oct07.pet
How do I go about doing this?

Thanks for the help.

I am interested in testing the WPA2 but I may need some help.
I have not used Legacy OS before.

I have downloaded Legacy OS 2.1 now. Can I burn it to a CD and try it as a Live CD?

Will it reboot into safe-mode ? Yes, it will restart if in safemode. I think I have figured out the problem. I updated a program called Dsynchronize. If it is set to auto start when XP starts, then it creates this problem. I will need to contact the developer about this bug with the updated version...

It shuts down fine.
It just won't restart automatically when I set it to restart when I log off.
This seems to be the opposite problem that most people experience with shut down issues.

Thanks, I will study this.

I have been trying out several linux distros including Puppy from the live CDs. Since doing this, I have had a couple of problems with XP: My thumb drive with stored data was wiped out and required reformating. The computer will no longer do a restart when I log out of XP. I can't correct the lost d...

Hi greyowl the upgrades are not in package manager, they were posted in the forum when each of the security threats happened. These threats happened to all but the latest operating systems but whether your computer is new enough to run these latest os's is another question. If you wanted I could em...
