Re: Need to load Mediatek MT7921

I was able to create a puppy with S15Pup64-22.12-230618. Using the WiFi dialog I was able after several iterations to load WAN0 and got the internet working.
Thanks, to ALL and then some. Dennis

Need to load Mediatek MT7921

I have been using Bionic pup for a few years. I recently had to get a new PC ASUS M1603 with AMD Ryzen CPU. It has a Mediatek MT7921 WIFI card. Is there a way go add the driver to Bionic.

Re: Unable to write to NTFS Partitions in Fossapup (Solved)

Update 2: Still having NTFS unable to update after reboot. Considered adding script to Start folder but that would require knowing what NTFS Drives are being mounted.

Re: Unable to write to NTFS Partitions

Unable to write to NTFS drives (Solved)

Re: How to turn off Desktop statistics in Fossapup?
