I just tried it. Downloads for me. But I'm on the other side of the world. I think you'll want to copy:
include
Module.symvers
scripts
System.map
.config
from your built kernel into the kernel source you posted. That's all I did.
Edit: Also, you'll want a symlink from /usr/src/linux-2.6.21.5 to /lib/modules/2.6.21.5/build. Maybe that's obsolete now, I built some stuff in the past that looked there.

Puppy Happy
time is working OK for UK summertime
The sfs bootmanager configuration is only recognising and allowing me to add the Open Office sfs (other sfs do not appear)
this is with or without the tick for 2.17 packages
the sfs I am trying to add is labled as pgs.2.16.sfs
changing name to pgs_2.17 .sfs makes it appear
(I think I have mentioned this before) It is rather confusing. If the sfs is available and the 2.17 option unticked should it appear and be available?
Wiki page for 2.17 "Dancer"
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy217
and also . . .
With the next version of Puppy being 2.20 (Puppy "Happy")
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Puppy220
we have the possibility of one or even two community editions. Rob from the Puppy cybercafe has shown some interest in organising one community edition.
Shall we go ahead with this? We can start planning now and use 2.17 as the basis. This will allow more efforts and time for 2.20

Lucent winmodem still doesn't connect, keyboard lights start flashing and computer locks up again + wifi still flaky in finding signal.

kernel source sfs
Regarding the kernel source sfs download errors - It is SeaMonkey that has the problem. I tried several times with the offending beast and only got partial downloads. It downloads first time, no hassle with opera.

Re: Puppy Happy
yes, I'll slow down the pace of new releases, as requested. About three-monthly seems better. At this stage, it's looking like there will be a 2.18 with some incremental improvements, ditto a 2.19. So, there's a big time-frame for anyone to bring out 2.17-based puplets.Lobster wrote:With the next version of Puppy being 2.20 (Puppy "Happy")

I am desperate to be able to use squash files with a frugal install. Will I be able to do so on 2.17?
Totally lost internet access via Miscrsoft to at least let me download Open Office until such time as I can have OO 2.2.sfs on my HD.
Am nearly winning the war but just need the last little bit of help

You and Lobster are both reporting time is fixed, but I don't know what I did to fix itWolf Pup wrote:Lucent winmodem still doesn't connect, keyboard lights start flashing and computer locks up again + wifi still flaky in finding signal.

...unless getting rid of /etc/TZ and the TZ environment variable has something to do with it. That's an old system, as far as I know, and not needed, it would seem ...but I'm gambling here, don't know if there is anything in Puppy that reads it. And, if getting rid of TZ fixed your problem, that seems to indicate that is does have some effect, which is a worry
Anyway, all beta-testers, check your date-time as thoroughly as possible.

puppy 2.17Beat
Puppy 2.17Beta,
Using Xvesa on clean hda1, I installed as co-exist. Returns error 15 will not boot.
On looking at menu1st strings it thinks its a full hd install and doesnt provide the correct strings for booting.
Tried connect for dial up, recognised my ttys0 modem and dialled ok. When Seamonkey was started wouldnt allow connection to websites when url typed in.
Cleaned drive, tried full hd install on hda1.Xvesa had problem with menu whiteout and locked out had to reboot. Used xorgwizard and xwin to take me to 640x480 screen and used wizard to set to 1024.
Tried modem connect, found my modem and dialled but fell over when seamonkey called.
The dial string was diferent to the frugal install in that in had = signs in it.
Used wvdial153 and gnome-ppp to connect.
Installed EZ pup and found a couple of files missing but seams ok.

Re: puppy 2.17Beat
Hmmm, I'm surprised. That bug for a frugal install was fixed. Well, I'll test it again. Did you do this with a clean 2.17beta, no prior pup_save, and the pup_217.sfs and zrdv_217.sfs from 2.17alpha testing removed from the hard drive?Firefox wrote:Puppy 2.17Beta,

You used PupDial? Again, the same question re an old pup_217.sfs messing things up. If not, did the wvdial connection log show that negotiation with the ISP was successful?
