Maybe it helps you to see what I experienced with puppeee installation on an USB stick. I did not succeed by following jemimah's instructions.
Since there is no ISO of 4.3.1 puppeee, I installed puppy 4.3.0 first from CD, then copied all the beta_3 files into my root directory. After booting I did get as well: "pup-431.sfs not found".
Now I edited extlinus.conf: Adding usbwait=1 parameter did not help, but I deleted the "pmedia=usbflash" entry. Then I booted again and got the puppy display but WITHOUT a "save icon". Also after closing puppeee there was no possibility to create a *.2sf file. Then after a lot of other trials, I installed 4.3.0 on my internal sd drive and again copied the jemimah files. Now I got a running system on my internal sd drive. From that I installed via "puppy universal installer" the system to my USB stick (flash drive), following the instructions. But again I had to eliminate the parameter "pmedia=usbflash". Then after booting and shutting down I was asked to create the *.2fs file and the system was working from USB stick. I have no idea what I've done wrong, but it looks like there is something wrong with the "pmedia=usbflash" entry !?
Since I do have a running system on my eeepc 901 now, I can start testing (WiFi) now.- I do love this puppeee very much -
I get a new WiFi provider (for my house) next week and will come back with my experience of connecting to WLAN via pwireless2 with a
strong signal. But it looks like the performance of the Wifi of my 901 is better with the "old network wizard" of 4.2.1 connecting to neighborhood networks (weak signals) flawlessly and not loosing the connection. The same 901 (with pwireless2) connects, but is loosing network connection after a minute and I have to start the connect procedure again and again. Is there a difference in controlling the internal wifi adapter of the 901 with respect to the different kernels used in this case ?? I don't think the different GUI (pwireless2) is to blame in this case!
