I don't know what that is, but I can tell you it works on Windows 10, Mx Linux, Ubuntu Mate and Linux Lite - all installed in this laptop on SSD Sorry, I missed that part of your post somehow. But yes, the Wifi works ok on 4 other OS's on this laptop. I did have to manually install it on Linux ...

Thanks !
That sounds economical
A bit confusing towards the end though lol.
I'll read it slowly if I give it a try

MysticReverie

I was able to load the driver by that method, but the wifi wizard still doesn't detect anything.

Oh well.. Thanks for the efforts

MysticReverie

Thanks I was unsure what to download. '91-series' or 'Google_Chrome-Portable'. I tried both. One installed, was making the profile file, but then nothing else happened. The other launched, but made no profile folder. Then I relaunched it and it just opened my normal google chrome which I have ...

Sorry for the ridiculous noob question, but how do I install this?
I don't understand what to do with a tar

Thanks

MysticReverie

Thanks for the great tips I actually created 4Gb space lol, and have 3GB left. I don't intend on installing too many apps, so maybe that would be plenty, especially if I can use the APP images or Portables when I find them. My video/picture etc. files are on the USB stick but not in the Puppy OS ...

Ok I'll pretend I fully understand that lol Unfortunately my OS has gone bad anyway. Booted up and the save file is almost full, plus all my changes don't seem to have saved. I must have done something wrong. I'll have to give it another go when I have time. It's tough Update: I went back to basics ...

@MysticReverie :- If all else fails, there is of course the old stand-by 'workaround'; use a wifi dongle. We know several of these to recommend that definitely work, despite that it's considered 'untidy' by some folks. What would you rather do? Struggle for weeks/months, trying desperately to get a ...

MysticReverie

I think I installed it correctly

But still no wlan device to select.

It has a list of drivers I can load, but I can't find mine on the list

MysticReverie

Thanks very much It's a bit clearer now how Puppy operates. Well, I guess I didn't need to make a partition but I did. I have a 17GB partition with MX Linux, and now have 11GB with Fossapup. The amazing thing is, Fossapup automatically found the MX Linux swap files and is using them ! 1.5GB (The ...

There were several posts suggesting how to go from where you were --booting from a USB-Key-- to where you might want to be. But you didn't tell us where you ended up. We only know what you tell us. Did you end up with a Save on the USB-Key or the Hard-drive? Sata Hard-drives are 10 to 15 times ...

Hi

I'm using
I'm using FossaPup 9.5
I have 6GB RAM
I have a ASUS M509D Laptop

I know this laptops' WiFi is not supported by many Linux OS's out of the box.

I can connect Via USB smartphone tethering, so if anyone knows how I can install the right driver I'll give it a go.

Many thanks

MysticReverie

Thanks all for all kind guidance and advice. I managed to get connected the internet via USB phone tethering. I'm on Puppy now as I write this ! I also managed to create a save file. I did not see any option to change the swap file size however - I've no idea what mine is by default. By the way, is ...

I'm using FossaPup I have 6GB RAM I have a ASUS M509D Laptop I want to use if from a USB thumbstick, but not a demo, like a full version that remembers changes. I already have the 'LIVE' version from Rufus, I can use that as a Normal OS? It will update and be 'persistant' if I make any changes? If ...

Hi I would like to use Linux Puppy 9.5 as a back up for my work. Just in case my hard drive fails, I was planning to use a Puppy full instalation on USB. Problem is, it's too hard for me. I made the bootable usb with rufus. But can't see any way to do a full install into my other USB. The menus make ...
